Question about Spanish (Mexico)
¿Conocen algún equivalente en español de esta expresión: «To lose a battle to win the war»?
Podría traducirlo literalmente pero ese es el problema, que al ser literal no se entendería. En cuestión fue usada en este contexto: «this situation was more than losing the battle to win the war».
Gracias de antemano :p
