Hello GA Community :)

I need to find out what this word means: igualmente
A Spanish friend used it to end an e-mail recently.
Thanks!

Dear steph53,

Depending on the particular context, the Spanish word "igualmente" translates as:
- equally
- likewise
- also, too
- the same, in the same way

"Igualmente" is often used as a brief version of "Gracias,
igualmente", like in "Have a nice day" - "Thank you, the same to you".
So I suspect that by ending the e-mail with "igualmente", your friend
chose an amusing way to behave as if you had said "Farewell", and he
answered "Thank you, same to you".

I hope this answers your question (and I also hope that my
Spanish-speaking fellow Researchers agree with my conclusion...)

Have a nice day,
Scriptor
