/Sounds like 'DAHR lah MAH-noh ee teh toh-MAHN el BRAH-soh'/
Give them an inch and they take a mile. This phrase describes someone who abuses generosity or trust when given a small opportunity, turning a small favor into a much bigger demand. In Argentina and Uruguay it is a warning to be careful with overly generous behavior.
"He lent me his car for a weekend and it's been a month. He took advantage of me."
"Don't be too generous, or they'll take advantage of you."
