Yo te regreso VS regreso por tí

Question

Is te regreso, yo te regreso, enough to indicate "regreso por tí"? I think it is.

I will be back for you.

regreso para tí is something different though.

can't think of how to work it though.

Answer 1

Yo te regreso means : I give you (something) back:

Yo te regreso el cuaderno: I give you the notebook back.

I will be back for you. is regreso (in the future) por tí.:

I'll be back for you at 10 O' Clock: Regreso por tí a las diez:

Answer 2

Dakie says,

Yo te regreso el cuaderno: I give you the notebook back.

I would have thought to use devolver for this.

Te devuelvo el cuaderno, lo que me habías dado antes.

Which do you think is more usual?

Answer 3

So yo te regreso is like, te devuelvo. I feel like i heard it the "Regreso por tí" way. Like, "I will return for you" but I might be wrong.

Yes, retornaré/regresaré por ti. :) - chileno, Sep 3, 2011
