The English equivalent of the Portuguese and Spanish sentence 'da nada' is the following: He/She/It gives nothing; or You give nothing. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'da' means '[He/She/It] gives' or [You] give'; 'nada' 'nothing'. More than a literal meaning depends upon the situation. But one interpretation may be the comment on a machine that doesn't work properly. For example, you put coins into a vending machine. But the drink or the food doesn't drop down. Another interpretation may be the comment on the personality of an individual. For example, you feel that you're doing the work, or carrying the responsibility, in the interaction. And the individual in question doesn't give anything back in return.
