Gusto de saber de ti
Can someone help me with this? By context it should mean 'Pleasure hearing from you', but I'm not sure how that makes sense.
Why the use of 'saber'? Last edited by zuma022; March 04, 2013 at 07:45 PM. |

That is the verb used in Spanish. 'Saber de alguien' is translated into English as 'hear from someone'. It is also translated as 'hear about someone'.

It has been a pleasure talking to you. As when you're on the phone and you're ready to hang up after talking with someone. (Or in person) Me da...It gives me gusto...pleasure haber...to have (auxiliary verb) hablado...spoken (past participle of 'to speak') contigo...with you. (to you) Present tense: Me da gusto hablar contigo. It's a pleasure talking to you. (It's a pleasure to talk to you.) Last edited by Villa; March 09, 2013 at 10:25 AM. |

Me da gusto saber de ti. saber=to know (It's an idiomatic expression.)
Me da gusto oir de ti.(no creo que se use) oir-hear Glad to hear from you. This is the idea. A good one to know also using gustar is: Me da gusto haber hablando (gerundio del verbo hablar) contigo. (past tense)
