Bandera de Argentina

/Sounds like 'meh-TEH rohs DEH-thohs' — UPPERCASE = stressed syllable/

To interfere in something that doesn't concern you, to stick your nose in where it's not invited. In Argentina, 'to put your fingers in' is the way to describe unnecessary interference in other people's affairs.

Example

"Stop putting your fingers in things that don't concern you."

"He put his fingers in his brother's business and ruined everything."
