At first, I paused to contemplate, completely confused. I wondered, “Well, why is this kid talking about sharing fruits when we are talking about being robbed on the street?” Upon further discussion on the literal translation of the term “dar papaya”, I finally understood the context behind what the student meant, as we have the same cultural concept in English. In fact, English speakers express this by saying “don’t ask for trouble” (no pedir problemas) or “don’t make yourself a target” (no te conviertas en un objetivo), which is probably more literal than the Spanish equivalent, the arbitrary “dar papaya.”
