Hola! Tengo una duda y me gustaría recibir sus sugerencias.
En Argentina es muy común, al terminar una sesión de psicoanálisis, que el terapeuta diga: "Cerramos acá?", para dar por finalizada esa sesión. Cómo sería el equivalente en inglés?
Gracias!

Thanks, Charles. It's odd, when I looked at what I wrote it occurred to me that "for" was missing too, though it didn't when I first looked at it. Now it seems normal either way.

| Thank you Dariusz, my mistake! I didn't let clear it should be a question, since the patient will answer: "Sí. Dejamos acá". |

Ta ta for now !

I wouldn´t put it as a question, after all the psychologist has already made up his/her mind to end the session and is hardly waiing for the Patient to contradict.

Not as rude as the Spanish version, translating involves conveying the feeling.

: The Spanish is not rude. It is a bit informal if you wish, as in "informally-formal" if you wish. Not rude at all, IMO.

makes me think of the psychologist in the series "2 and a half men" who always reminds Charlie of how much it's costing him
