How would you preface a statement that is obvious.?

CP - 1-19-2011 at 05:48 PM

I am looking for a phrase that may be similar to 'I need to get this off my chest.,' or "I need to dump my bucket.'

You know what I mean? A preface to saying something that is obvious, but just needs saying...

I appreciate any examples you may have.

obvio pues, ...

Please...sit down. There's something I have to say.

That will raise anybody's blood pressure by thirty points. :lol:

You're dead, CP.

Yikes! Dennis and gnukid responded to me. If I had to choose two Nomads for whom I may have formed big opinions about over years of reading the forums and those opinions being quite polarized, well heck if it would not be Dennis and gnukid. Just a coincidence I guess.

But with respect to the both of you, I do appreciate your comments.:D

starting off with Quiero decirte algo...usually gets their attention and means that you are going to say something important or make a point.

Shari,
Thanks. That phrase fits my situation well.

Tengo que decirte/decirle algo...

The choice between decirte/decirle makes a big difference, depending on how familiar you are with this person.

excellent point Tano...i often screw this up and stick a te on the end when it should be a le for respect.

Necesito desahogarme de algo...

Don't you ever watch Jerry Springer? You always start out with "You know I love you, right?".......
