"ON THE TIP OF TONGUE"

If a word is on the tip of your tongue, you know the word, but you just can't quite remember it at the moment.

Ejemplo: I can't remember this actor's name, but I have it on the tip of my tongue.

En la punta de la lengua.

 
Examples:

• Ponga la pastilla en la punta de la lengua y deje que se disuelva antes de tragársela / Place tablet on the tip of the tongue and allow it to melt before swallowing.
