Watch your step!

Día a día, Expresiones, January 28th, 2009

Watch se traduce como reloj de pulsera; si lo usamos como verbo significa mirar, vigilar, observar. Esta expresión significa: “mira por donde vas”.

Watch your step John, there are some pieces of glass over there!

Mira por donde vas John, por ahí hay trozos de cristal!

    you forgot to mention that watch also traslates as “reloj de pulsera” of course when it´s not a verb.

    Does “watch your step” mean the same as “mind your step”?
    By the way, I find this blog quite interesting and useful,so thank you very much.

    I think so. In this case, you can use both mind and watch.

    Se usa mucho en sentido figurativo también (= don’t misbehave, etc)
