This phrase literally translates to 'son of a tiger' and is used to express that a child follows the same path or has the same characteristics as their parents, much like 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' in English.
Examples
- Spanish: Su padre era un gran músico, y él también, como se dice, 'hijo de tigre'.
- English: His father was a great musician, and so is he, as they say, 'son of a tiger'.
