Translator's comment
-or- You know how THAT goes (с ударением на THAT если речь о ситуации, которая никогда не изменяется). "I told him his hair's too long. Now he won't speak to me for a month. You know how THAT goes."

GoldenFish: "You know how it goes" is also good

Thanks! But what about "I know how it's" and "I know what's like"?

Golden Fishadded a comment 8 years ago

Такие варианты возможны? Да, они не совсем точны (особенно второй), но в принципе отражают суть?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

IS cannot be contracted in a dependent clause: You say "I know what his name is." You can't say "I know what his name's." You can say: "You know how it is," but not "You know how it's."

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

"YOU know what it's like" is also a good variant here
