Hi
"No nos conocemos del todo," is something I once heard on a TV programme.
Does it mean that we don't know each other at all, or merely that we don't know each other completely (although we may know each other quite well)?

Spanish term (edited):
No nos conocemos del todo
we don't know each other completely
Nos falta mucho para llegar a conocernos del todo
la expresión del todo se usa con la idea de que es total, no una parte
Luego busco ejemplos

we don't really know each other all that well
Either because they haven't had much interaction up till now, even though they have met, or because they are in a relationship, even one that might have turned out to be long-term, in which one of those involved realize that they are not on the same page, after all, when it comes to one or more things.

We're not very close.
While not a literal translation, this communicates the same idea, and its conciseness makes it a good fit for accommodating CPS limits were you to translate this for subtitles.

We know each other but not all the way
We are familiar with each other, but there are gaps of understanding.
