Question

Hi all,
My spanish is a bit rusty but this doesn't make any sense. I was introduced to this fine chica from the Dom Reb. We were text messageing each other and she wrote this back with some spanish slang that wrote "te keria saaludar cuiadate". Now the closest thing I can find to that would be "Te quiera saludar cuidate" on freetranslation.com it reads "I want you to greet you take care of" Is she just basically saying "take care"

thanks

K21

It is not so much that the girl doesn't know how to write in proper Spanish. It has to do more with efficiency- to get the message out as quickly as possible, and with the least effort:

"te keria saaludar cuiadate"

Instead of typing qu she used the letter k, which has the exact same sound.

Text messages are a pain to compose. If you notice, she held the letter 'a' a bit too long (saaludar), and she didn't bother correcting the error.

And of course, "take care" in Spanish is spelled "cuidate"
