the litteral translation is "what are you afraid of, it's nothing more than a watch/clock"... but it doesn't really add up! is there a phrase i'm missing here?

No Se si te he entendido, pero la frase que has dicho, encaja con la frase en castellano de Shishir.
Aunque faltaria una interogación. no?

galoosh33: the situation is the following, a child hears a noise, he gets scared, and then someone else, maybe his sister, asks him this "why are you afraid? The thing you're hearing is just a clock!" (That was the first example of using this pair of sentences that came to my mind, and the one I was thinking of when I wrote them)

Like cuckoo clocks... they're quite frightening.

When you're small, big things are frightening.
