I will pass on it

Bill C.B2Kwiziq community member

The reflexive form is commonly used in English as "I will pass on it." So your examples:

Je vais me passer de pain pendant une semaine.I´m going to go without bread for a week.Instead it could be translated: I'm going to pass on bread for a week.
Or a simpler form: Q. Would you like another drink? A. I'll pass.

This question relates to:French lesson "Passer/se passer/se passer de - the different meanings of the verb "passer" in French"
