translation check

[slyry75]

I have been corresponding with a nice girl from Cartagena for about two months now, and lately she refers to me as "mi querido pensador". I have that translated as "my dear thinker". Is that accurate, or am I a little bit off?

[LastLion]

Sounds right to me!! Maybe more like "my dearest thinker""! That is how I would translate it!!!!!!

[NunoEFSilva]

Yeap! That's a good translation Sly.

LastLion may have a point as "querido" (the same in both Spanish and Portuguese) doesn't map absolutely, precisely, exactly, to "dear". It may depend on context (as always). But I would guess in a "cariñoso" mood it would mean "my dear thinker" (a rare word-for-word translation).

The girl finds you a bit of a philosopher and wants to compliment you in a affectionate way.

Thanks for helping me see the subtleties involved. Yeah, she's really nice.

Better yet, she refers herself as being TU FLOR BONITA

Pretty cool, huh? I think I'm done with AW, there not as sweet as CW.

S75,

"AW, there not as sweet as CW."

I may be a little slow here....what is your point exactly?

[slyry75]

Talk about stating the obvious, huh.
