Hi Rhiannon, I can help you start a new thread. It's not that hard :) Cuídate, with the accent mark, means take care or take care of yourself. It comes from the verb cuidar.

oh ok, thanks. it's just... i had a friend email me saying:

Estoy muy triste,,disculpame..cuidate mucho chao...Melky

i understood everything but the cuidate part.

Re: Cuidate
 

Great. Keep emailing back and forth- It's a good way to learn. :)

I am concerned about your friend's emotional state. From your quote, sounds like, your friend has a lot on their mind...

well, we used to work together & we were constantly trying to setup to meet outside of work to hang out with our children together, etc. however, each time, 9 times out of 10, she had a reason to back out or just plain didn't show, etc. one day i forgot about our meeting and wrote her right away the next day apologizing and setup a new time the following day, meeting at her apartment. i arrived there on time with my son, and she wasn't there. she even had confirmed it that morning that i would be seeing her that day at that time, and she wasn't even there. i waited a bit, she never showed. i drove a half hour to see her, with gas i barely had available... so it was not a good thing for me, i was rather upset, left a message on her phone, left a note in her mailbox... she wrote that message to me a week after we were supposed to have met.

Context means everything doesn't it? In that case what she wrote is perfectly reasonable. Hope you get together with her! :)

Re: Cuidate
 

yes it does! i finally got back in touch with her recently.... taking things slow. i'm still rather hurt... but i'm hoping things patch up. she is a good person.... it's just frustrating is all. *shrugs* gracias por ayudarme!
