Hug your daughter for me

Frustrating that I can't think of for here, the translation wants "para". Abraza a tu hija para mí, but I'm not sure. Gracias.

Don't think about frustation! - cogumela, Oct 17, 2010
Doh, I know para was wrong, but all three translations insisted it was para. - jeezzle, Oct 17, 2010

In any case "por mí". With "para" it would mean that you receive the hug yourself, as "para" indicates the "addressee". We normally say "Dale un abrazo de mi parte", though.
By the way, could you post a comment here for me?

Sure, that link goes to amykay's "my son got an A" is that the thread you want me to comment on? - jeezzle, Oct 17, 2010

Hi, Jeezz!
It is "abrázala por mí"

In some regions (not Spain) it is common to hear "abrázame a tu hija de mi parte"

What if you said "que la me abraces" or something, with the "me" pronoun in there for "for me"? or "abrázame a tu hija"? Gracias.

"Abrázame a tu hija" does not sound right for some reason, but I can see your logic. The sentence will be understood, but it is not standard. "Que me la abraces" does not make sense unless you are insisting on a command. - lazarus1907, Oct 17, 2010
Never "que la me abraces". "Abrázame a tu hija" does not sound natural, either. - cogumela, Oct 17, 2010
