how do i write

Question

how do you write "rest in peace" in spanish

Answer 1

Descansa en la paz or in familiar form descansas en la paz but I don't know how it would be written as an epitaph on a grave for instance there might be an idiomatic expression for this, you need to get it from a native speaker.

Descansa en paz (for tu) Descanse en paz (for usted) - juluque, FEB 5, 2010

Thanks I think that's subjuntive is it? - kenwilliams, FEB 5, 2010

Answer 2

Que en Paz Descanse. Q.P.D. same as R.I.P. That is what people actually write on graves, but you don't say that to the family, it is better to say:

"Lo siento mucho"

"Acompaño su sentimiento"

a formal way is:

Mis mas sentido pesame.
