Can you translate this sentence from English to Spanish for me: "Thank
you for understanding her, and loving her."

Hi wyoming!!


The translation into Spanish is:

"Gracias por amarla y comprenderla."

Note that to love can be interpreted in two ways: amar y querer, these
are two different degrees of feelings. Amar in Spanish is for close
relatives (wife, husband, sons, daughters, mother, father) and engaged
couples or boyfriedns and girlfriends. Querer is for friends,
partners, etc. So the translation can be also:

"Gracias por quererla y comprenderla."


I do this translation based in my own knowledge, my native language is Spanish.

Hope this helps you. And feel free to request for any clarification needed. 
I am here for help you in the future.

Best regards.

Is there a reason you reversed the verbs in your translation?

Hi ac67!!

Yes, there is a reason. This is a common phrase and ,at least in my
country, the common way to express that feelings is in the order that
I gave in the translation. There are not grammatical rules about this
(in the worst case I don't know them) but this is the most usual way
to say that. When I did the translation I first use the original order
to the verbs, but the Spanish version sounds little strange to me,
this surprised me. After reversed the verbs it became more familiar to
my ears.

Thanks, I had some Spanish back in high school and college, and knew
that some shuffling of words was often necessary, but didn't know why
it would be done here.  That makes sense.

Just to cover another possibility. It would be interesting to know a
little about the context of that phrase.
Because, in a dialog, it could be possible:
"Gracias por comprenderla, y amarla"
or
"Gracias por comprenderla, y quererla"
if the intention is emphasizing the action of understanding her.
If the emphasis is on the action of loving her, then the correct order
would be as the original answer : "Gracias por amarla y comprenderla"
o "Gracias por quererla y comprenderla"

The distinction between "amarla" y "quererla" also could de determined
by the context of the phrase.
