How can I say "mão na roda" in English? I found somewhere that I can use "convenience", but I'd like to know a better way to say it (if there is any).

For example:
"Aquela ferramenta é uma mão na roda!"
"Isso é uma mão na roda!"


Thank you in advance!

Hi Tiago,

I think " USEFUL " could be used OR "SHELF"

Your tips yesterday were shelf to me

[Breckenfeld]

Aquela ferramenta é uma mão na roda!"
"Isso é uma mão na roda!"

My suggestions:

That tool comes in handy!

Does that come in handy! (or) That comes in handy.

Bye!

Herr Breckenfeld, in what does Does that come in handy! differ from That comes in handy, Mein Herr? Do you live in Orobó?

[Breckenfeld]

Márcio.

I would say that the former "conveys" more emphasis on the exclamation whereas the latter is a normal one.
Perhaps someone else will explain better than I.

I hope my humble explanation will come in handy (lolrof).

Bye!

Hi there!

Neste caso sugiro a expressão idiomática: come in handy

Ex: thefreedictionary comes in handy you know?

Take care,
