/Sounds like the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "EYE" (as in "eye") + "DOHS" (as in "door") + "SEEN" (as in "see") + "TREHS" (as in "tread")/
A Spanish saying warning that if something bad has happened twice, it will likely happen a third time. The numerical superstition that bad luck runs in threes: a heads-up to brace yourself when you have already been hit twice.
“He already broke two things today, bad luck comes in threes so just wait for the third.”
“They rejected the project twice, these things happen in threes so watch out.”
