| Mar 7, 2014 at 21:47 | comment | added | Jonathan Garber | A sheer guess would be something along the lines of "money to burn", but we would need more context to figure that out. Esteban, see ell.stackexchange.com/q/2725/748 for another example of asking for a phrase translation. It may give you some ideas for how to better frame your question. | |

| Mar 6, 2014 at 22:55 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @nxx: I know that! (OP says so). I'm asking how it can work in the (Spanish?) original, since I can't see any semantic connection between money and even having enough to make dessert (with it?). | |
| Mar 6, 2014 at 22:31 | comment | added | nxx | I think he means it's a literal translation. | |
| Mar 6, 2014 at 21:43 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Esteban: I don't really understand how that Cuban phrase works. Do you mean "dessert" as in sweet course / pudding / afters? I can't see how you could literally use money to make something nice to eat. Is there something "lost in translation" there? | |

| Mar 6, 2014 at 21:05 | comment | added | nxx | Hi Esteban Alvarez. I have edited the question, as asking for a "translation" didn't seem accurate. Is this what you meant? | |
