How would you translate "Estoy pendiente tuyo"

Question

Someone I am close to sent me "Estoy pendiente tuyo" as a sign off in his letter. I know what the words mean, but, the context? I am yours,,,waiting/pending?

Answer 1

Agreed, I would think it it was wrong,

Pendiente de ti is what we say in Spain

I guess, he wanted to say:

I am waiting for your answer

Answer 2

This could be one of those cases where one says something, and it turns out that millions of people in another country actually say that, but from what I know, the sentence is grammatically wrong. Instead of "Estoy pendiente de ti" (I'm keeping an eye on you / I am waiting for you), that "de ti" seems to have turned into a pronoun. As I said, grammatically speaking is just crazy, but you never know...

I personally have never heard such a thing in the south of Spain.

Answer 3

It seems quite an unusual word with the main meaning seeming to be 'pending' - right up to it meaning (used with estar) 'to be attentive to', 'or to take a keen interest in' etc.

I found this too which I thought you might find interesting for future reference:

Spanish 8 senses of the word pendiente:

ADJECTIVE

pendiente awaiting conclusion or confirmation, owed as a debt, not brought to a conclusion, still in doubt

NOUN
pendiente, an elevated geological formation, the property possessed by a line or surface that departs from the horizontal, degree of deviation from a horizontal plane, jewellery to ornament the ear

Answer 4

Maybe they were meant to be separate.

Estoy pendiente.

&

Tuyo (signature)

I'm just guessing though, do letters get finished with 'tuyo' like we might with

Yours Mary or whatever? Pretty outdated but I guess some people still do it.

Answer 5

Perhaps they meant to write "estoy pendiente a lo tuyo"

I'm waiting for your response?

I couldn't find estoy pendiente a lo tuyo online, but I did find pendiente a lo tuyo.
