Is this a greeting?

I usually read this in social networking sites but don't know what it means. "Saludos desde? México". What does it mean? Thanks in advance

I hope you don't feel I am being mean or rude for saying this - it is not my intention; but how have you managed to accumulate 1.1k of reputation without having heard about the dictionary and translation tools we have right on this site?

This is not a complex sentence, and this is one of the perfect, legitimate uses for the translation tool. Just type it into the translation box, and you get a perfectly good translation.

Remember that this is a learning site. The best way to learn is to try and come up with your own translation, and then ask a question if you don't understand something, or if you're not satisfied with the result you found.

When I make mistakes they are always stupid mistakes. I say this because I am so smart. :) I use wrong genders, mismatched. I use wrong conjugations, mismatched. I think it's because of anxiety. I know I should take a deep breath and proofread again. - Sabor, Mar 18, 2011
I don't think you are mean or rude but I think you have a gift you don't realize the importance of--bilingualism. Please have mercy on those of us who don't. :) - Sabor, Mar 18, 2011
He's just suggesting that the OP use the tools at his disposal before asking a question that could be answered by a machine. Proficiency with language has nothing to do with it. - morphine, Mar 18, 2011
i don't know if it is a "gift", Sabor. I think it has more to do with many years of full immersion in both Hispanic and Anglic environments. Having said that, I don't believe this is a case of making a mistake, but simply not using a dictionary. - Gekkosan, Mar 18, 2011
It may come as a surprise to some, but the fact is, I don't have perfect vocabulary. I use several dictionaries, including SD's, on an almos daily basis. I check and make sure - then I make a post. There are tons of good and valid questions that get ... - Gekkosan, Mar 18, 2011
..posted daily, and I'm happy to help with those. But I also believe in encouraging people to learn to use the tools that are easily and freely available to all. Not because it is a bother to answer questions, but because it gives the person more power. - Gekkosan, Mar 18, 2011
