nariz, noun
nose

In English you ‘blow’ your nose, but in Spanish you ‘sound’ it, and you use the verb sonarse in its reflexive form:

sonarse la nariz
to blow one’s nose

When you’re fed-up with something in English, you can be fed-up to the back teeth, but in Spanish you’re ‘fed-up as far as your nose’. Notice that you use the plural, narices:

Estoy hasta las narices de que no me hagan caso.
I’m fed-up to the back teeth of them not taking any notice.

In the next idiom, the image is the same in Spanish as in English:

No metas la nariz en mis asuntos.
Don’t poke your nose into my business.
