Always your friend

Hi,

Google Translate gives me "Siempre a su amigo" is that most proper way to say this in Colombia?

Thanks

Well, that sounds odd to me. Would you give us a bit of context? Is it a letter or something like that?

Hi chewytoy, give us more context since the meaning can be different if, for example, is a signature.

Thanks for writing,

yes it's something of a signature following a short note to a person:

[body of note]

Always your friend, Chewytoy

Hey chewtoy, I think that would translate into something like "Tu amigo por siempre, Chewtoy".

I have a Colombian friend who used to foot all his correspondence with: "Su amigo de siempre, Panano" (lol, that is his nickname!) By the way, it was the time when there were "physical" hand-written letters and postcards, and not that much e-mail, texting and posting things on your "wall"...:o

I'm learning things here:o. I would have said "Su amigo para siempre". Why "de" instead of "para" Gentle?

Hello, I think that alfredo.astort's version "Tu amigo por siempre" is the best.

Well, I think that if I had to come up with the "best" to sign a short note I would use "Tu amigo, siempre!" or "Siempre tu amigo!"

Thanks ludmilak!!! I also think gentle's version is allright, "Su amigo de siempre", now that I see it.

Vicente and Alfredo, I guess it's one of those examples of flavor nuances! Trust me that I'm with you about the "misuse" of the preposition "de" instead of "para", but it always sounds like a more "tropical" sound to me...:) and I like it. (It makes me dream of Cartagena or a similar place where you feel like at a little piece of heaven on earth! :D.)

Yeap, as a Colombian, "Su amigo de siempre" would sound natural to me. It could also be "Tu amigo de siempre" as "you" can be translated both ways in Spanish.
