Ce n'est pas la mer à boire

Post by MoniqueMaRie »

Literally: it's not as if you have to drink the sea

Meaning: "it's not a big deal" or " "it's not that difficult"

For this one I like the explanation in mondly the best. There they give the following example:

someone complaining: je dois faire quattre rapports cette semaine
answer: oh là là, ce n'est pas la mer à boire
