"de entonces"

Question

I am looking for the best way to translate the meaning of "de entonces". Thank you!

Answer 1

Could de entonces be an abreviation of desde entonces - since then.

yes, it could. "El mes pasado empece mis clases de español, de entonces a la fecha he aprendido muchas cosas nuevas" - Mokay, NOV 15, 2009

Answer 2

Hi gmb,

The dictionary entry for entonces has this example:

Las costumbres de entonces -> the customs of the time

So, apparently de entonces can mean "of the time" as in "of that era."

Cheers.

Answer 3

Could call on desde entonces meaning since then, but I haven't see it abreviated like that before, has anybody else? That would be interesting and the context would definitely need to be known!!

Answer 4

Good call webdunce. That's why I put the disclaimer of "depending on the context".

Answer 5

Depending on the context I believe you can translate it as "from then". I hope this helps.
