Help with the translation of a portuguese expression
|

Hi everyone..
This message is particularly addressed to all portuguese speaking users. How would you translate the expression "entrar com o p� direito" into English??
Thanks in advance. |

you could probably say:
" off on the right foot (with someone or something) and *off to a good start (with someone or something)
Fig. starting out correctly; beginning something carefully and cautiously. (*Typically: be ~; get ~.) This time, I want to get off on the right foot with him. I tried to get off to a good start with my new job.
i �m not sure if that �s what you �re looking for!?

Well, I �m not a Portuguese speaker, but it �s quite similar to Spanish.
It �s translation is:
Start/ get off on the right foot
In case somebody don �t know it �s meaning; it �s use when you start a relationship well.
and get off to a good start (= begin well)
