Usage Note
Cosa is one of the most versatile nouns in Spanish, serving as a catch-all when the precise word escapes you. The phrase ¿cómo van las cosas? ('how are things?') is a common greeting. Cosa also appears in fixed expressions: poca cosa ('not much', 'trifling') and gran cosa ('a big deal'). Unlike English 'thing', cosa is always feminine.
Examples
"Eso es otra cosa."
Natural Translation
