TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin.

Today's expression is: to keep your fingers crossed

It means: to hope for the best in a situation that could potentially be negative.

It's more or less a direct translation of the equivalent expression in Spanish/Catalan.

Example:
Speaker 1: If it rains today, we're going to have to cancel the party.
Speaker 2: Well, let's hope it doesn't; keep your fingers crossed.

Have a great rest of the day! I'll see you tomorrow with another lesson.
