¿Cómo se dice 'you both'?

Question

¿Cómo se dice 'thanks to you both'?

¿Puedo decir 'gracias a ustedes dos'? O me van a mirar raro?

Es 'los dos' mejor?

Gracias...

Answer 1

Yo diría, "Gracias a los dos." Or "a las dos" si son mujeres.

Answer 2

From discussing things with my Mexican friends, "los dos" and "ambos" are interchangeable. There is a subtle difference between the two that would be hard for a non-native speaker to catch, sort of like the difference in English between, "the two" and "both".

Examples:

Four girls were hanging out by the dance floor. The two best dancers were asked to dance.- We wouldn't say, "both best dancers" here as natives because we are differentiating numbers already stated.

Two girls were hanging out by the dance floor. Both were asked to dance.- We wouldn't say "the two were asked" because it is redundant.

I have been led to believe that the same nuance exists between, "los dos" and "ambos".

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Gracias a los dos.

Answer 4

I will say that the Pimsleur course uses "ustedes dos" to mean you both, and I see over a million hits on google for it. I personally use "los dos" to mean "the both of them" but I suppose it works for "you both" as well. I have never used ambos for people, or heard it used that way, but I can't say if that is a rare option or not.

Edit: There a million hits on google for "Gracias a ustedes dos" and Pimsleur specifically uses that phrase, so I believe that it is correct unless that $300 dollars was wasted.

I would say ambos nowadays. Although ustedes dos and los dos for whatever are also good.. - jeezzle, Jan 6, 2011
