Hello briunei [???] I miss you a lot my love. I hope to see you soon. God bless you and keep you today and always. Good bye.

I am thinking briunei is your name or the name to whom this text message is for?

Planet hopper October 22, 2008 02:45 PM

We respect spelling of foreign names, as much as possible.

bmarquis124 October 22, 2008 02:53 PM

(I was secretly wondering the same thing)

geeper October 22, 2008 02:55 PM

If you say bri-un-ei real fast (with Spanish pronunciation) it kind of sounds like it. But the real question is: Is your name Brittney??

Tomisimo October 22, 2008 02:57 PM

Well, briunei may be a phonetic transliteration of Brittney, but not necessarily.

Planet hopper October 22, 2008 03:12 PM

Dunno, I'm a think tank and those things come out:(:(.

I said it imitating a very strong accent. That's what popped:D:pelota:

nope, that's why I'm a little confused! he sure did spell a lot of words wrong...hopefully he was just in a hurry or something. anyway, thank you to everyone, it really helped. :):)

I believe that arrived very late, but I don't care I wish you the better, I like very much Britney Spears.

If it was a text message by phone, and he's not adept at punching in text messages, it can be frustrating, and I can see why he would spell things wrong.

bmarquis124 October 22, 2008 06:08 PM

One more little question...
I can't imagine myself (or anyone else, really) being able to call someone "my love"...it just seems very serious and strong.

In Spanish speaking cultures, is it just a casual thing to call someone "mi amor"?

And....the guy I'm talking to doesn't know much English. For example, we were on the phone and instead of saying, "I want to see you" he said "I need a looking at you". He also said, "I love you", but is it possible that he got lost in translation, and really meant "I like you"? In Spanish does 'love' have the same connotations as it does in English?

I've heard members of these forums who are native speakers use these terms of endearment amongst themselves, but I don't see the same happening with those of us who speak Spanish as a second language. I think this is because it does sound strange to us to use these terms casually.

That being said, I believe this guy you're talking to is just being friendly in the Spanish way. However, I defer to a native speaker.

te quiero
te amo
= I love you

me caes bien
me gustas
= I like you

Elaina October 23, 2008 10:14 AM

Unfortunately, the words "mi amor", "mi vida", "cariño" are used very liberally in the Spanish-speaking community I work with and they come from all over!

So I wouldn't read very much into them.

:p

bmarquis124 October 23, 2008 03:32 PM

well its fortunate for me, I'm relieved! thank you.

CrOtALiTo October 23, 2008 10:32 PM

Flaquita, chiquita, gordita, amor mio, mi cielo, corazon mio, these are some words that we are using in our country, as speakers native in Spanish.
