A big deal
Hi all!
a big deal = a lot
This is what my teacher told me. However I have always used this word in different meaning. I´ll give you an example:
-It´s not a big deal for me. I think I will be done with it in 5 minutes. - Here I would say it could mean "it is easy for me".
Please, could you give me one or two examples where a big deal means a lot?
Thank you very much!
