Hi to everyone!

Hi to everyone!

I would like to get some help in translating English to Spanish. I hope you can help me. Thank you so much!

[gymcal]

For example: What is the Spanish of "Warmest Greetings!"?

[Rusty]

One of the following may work.

¡Saludos más sinceros!
¡Saludos más cordiales!
¡Saludos más calientes!
¡Saludos más calurosos!
¡Saludos más cariñosos!
¡Saludos más fervientes!

[sosia]

Rusty's options are good. Other
Muy cariñosos saludos.

But I wouldn't say más, but ¡Saludos cordiales!, etc.
You could also say: ¡Mis saludos más cordiales!, etc.
These are stereotyped formulas.
Rusty's option could be an usage in some place, but this is the first time I see it.

Could it also be in the singular?

Un saludo caluroso/cordial/cálido.

Yes, it can. It's very common and good Spanish...

But un saludo cálido means hot. So don't say that to your boss, unless you are very good friends...

Are you kidding? Because with you I never know. To me un saludo cálido means the same as cordial. And I would say it to anybody, even to you.

[María José]

Ok, but that leads me to another question.
The guys in Il Divo are hot: Estan muy buenos
But how do I translate:
Wow! This is so hot!?

Yes, you're right. It depends on the person. I shouldn't have generalise that, as it can be only among some people.

I don't know what does this mean. What are you referring to? Warm or sexy beauty?

[Rusty]

When you say that something (not someone) is hot, it's the same as saying it is intense or 'very cool'. I would translate it:
¡Ay! ¡Qué chévere se ve!

[María José]

That sounds beautiful, Rusty, but definitely not very madrileño...

I'm agreed with Rusty, When you need or you want to say, I'm agreed with someone or it's fine, you can to say, Es correcta tu afirmacion or Esta bien dicho lo que dices.

I didn't say I disagreed with Rusty. I simply said his translation was Hispanic Spanish (or whatever the politically correct word is nowadays) and that it wouldn't come naturally to me because I speak differently (differently not having any derogatory connotations to it)
And Crotalito, remember:
_ Estoy de acuerdo: I agree
_ No estoy de acuerdo: I disagree.

Excuse me?

Anyway, I'll try again...

Thanks a lot for your corrections!

The truth is that I don´t see what your question:

has to do with Gemma´s comment:

No, it's simply that I wasn't sure what you meant (maybe you could use a code so that I know when you are joking and when you are serious, you know I'm somewhat intellectually-challenged in that respect). My first example or the second? I suppose it's the second because you already know what I think of Il Divo and you, of course.
So, let's recap:
_ Alfonso is hot : sexy beauty to use your own words, my own would be: incredibly attractive. (Well, of course I'm hot too, but I didn't want to sound self centred).
_ This is hot: depending on the context it could mean at least three things:
-The soup is hot (I'm talking about temperature)
- Ginger is hot or, more commonly, ginger is hot and spicy (that you know from experience)
- And what I meant in my previous post: This is so hot is usually teenage slang for this is so great.
Hope I helped you.
Here goes a good example of the word hot that I'm sure both you and Poli will LOVE.
