What does una cosa no quita la otra mean?
Expression
the one doesn't rule out the other
Used to reject a contradiction somebody has just pointed out in you. It works for serious arguments — I can criticise him and love him, una cosa no quita la otra — and for trivial ones: dessert while on a diet. It is a fixed formula and takes no variation: always cosa, always quitar.
Me encanta el trabajo, pero estoy agotado. Una cosa no quita la otra.
