It's been a long time...(since we saw each other)

Question

or how do you say? "boy, it's been a long time hasn't it'" Is there a common sentence/phrase for this? Going to see a friend of mine in Mexico, and its been 2 months since we seen each other. Wanted to speak correctly with this comment.

Answer 1

¡Hombre, cuánto tiempo (hace que no nos vemos)!

Answer 2

¡ Cuate! Tanto tiempo sin vernos.

Cuate is a word meaning buddy, comarade in Guatemala. I don't know if it is used any where else.

Compa, tanto tiempo sin vernos.

tanto is a word that is applied to an undefined time.
compa is short for compañero, it is used in Mexico. I heard it all the time.

Answer 3

Pasó mucho tiempo hace que nos vemos. (much time has passesd since we saw each other)
With all due respect to you and all living things in the universe, I am forced to say that the sentence above is incorrect. Here is the correct form :

hace que nos vemos...... Ha pasado mucho tiempo de que nos hemos visto.

The rest of your work is darn good.

Answer 4

Thanks for the help. I'll try and remember the easiest one. Oh and (she's) a female, wink wink!
