We value our friends. Valer?

Question

I can't think how to say this with valer, or even if you can.

Valemos nuestros amigos has got be wrong.

And I think valer means: Is valuable to us, has value, worth it.

We value our friends

Nuestros amigos tienen valor. They are brave.

How can you say it?

No olvides la "a" personal. (No sé si tu uso de valer es correcto o no) - webdunce, Oct 5, 2011

valorar insted of valer :) - Kiwi-Girl, Oct 5, 2011

Answer 1

I would imagine that the word "appreciate" would also suffice so I cannot see why you cannot use verbs such as,

Valorar or apreciar.

Valoramos/apreciamos a nuestros amigos

Definitely valoramos. - Gekkosan, Oct 5, 2011

Answer 2

Yes I agree with Eddie that you could use either valorar or apreciar

Another verb with a smiliar meaning is estimar = to esteem

Valoramos o (or) apreciamos a nuestros amigos.

estimado is/would be used in a sentence like this:

Eres un amigo(a) bien estimado(a) = You are a well respected friend

I hope this helps

Oh good! Saved me having to add "esteem". (Hurrah for synonyms.) - samdie, Oct 6, 2011

Answer 3

I was confused with this verb as well, and still am actually, but it makes a bit more sense now. I had someone tell me recently:

Gracias a ti más bien por tu amistad tú vales mucho gracias por todo hoy lo pasé muy lindo...

I was confused on the vales part, actually I still am.....That verb makes no sense to me in actual usage

Answer 4

Hi Jeez

Thinking about it

Valemos a nuestros amigos

Hacía así un mercader de los esclavos. Espero que ganéis buen precio, jeje.
