bajar la guardia

Spanish

Verb

bajar la guardia (first-person singular present bajo la guardia, first-person singular preterite bajé la guardia, past participle bajado la guardia)

  1. (idiomatic) to lower one's guard, to let down one's guard, to drop one's guard

Usage notes

  • Even when talking about a specific person, you still use the definite article and not a personal pronoun, similar to how one refers to body parts in Spanish (e.g. "lavar las manos").
