English term

if you say so

English to Portuguese Other Other
Contexto: Lopez's frequent reply of "I don't remember" during her testimony at Camargo's trial may have more to do with cultural differences than memory. A day earlier, the witness had answered dozens of questions by saying she could not remember or by repeatedly telling Deputy District Attorney Christopher Darden, "If you say so, sir".

Qual seria a tradução mais sensata para esse termo, de acordo com esse contexto?

Carla Lopes Nov 8, 2010:
exactly it's ironic! All of the options given are according to that "yeah, right!" sense.
Nick Taylor Nov 8, 2010:
I think the point here is that the answers correspond to "yeah, whatever!"
