When you are finishing an e-mail or letter or when you are saying goodbye to somebody by phone or in person, you can say "Cuídate" or "Cuídate mucho". Both are equal to "Take care"

Here in Chile they say "Cuidáte." a lot, which i guess has the same meaning as 'take care'. Not sure what the difference between that and "Ten cuidado." is.

Oops yes should be "Cuídate" not "Cuidáte" - claire_f, MAR 5, 2010

I've always thought that "Ten cuidado" comes across more as "Be careful" and I've never actually heard it to end a letter or conversation unless someone was off to do something dangerous. I have heard "cuídate" or "cuídate mucho" for "take care".

You are right it wouldn't be used to end a letter it is imperative command I think and yes I suppose it would come across as telling someone to be careful. - kenwilliams, MAR 5, 2010
I didn't notice the email part until I just double checked the original question. - kenwilliams, MAR 5, 2010
