"After all it will be better this way."

Question

I want to say, "After all, it will be better this way." Is it correct to say, "A fin de cuentas será mejor hacerlo en esa manera."? Or is there a better way of saying it?

Thanks

you did it right. "A fin de cuentas será mejor hacerlo en esa manera." - davidcbvalencia, Feb 19, 2012

It might work if this is what you wish to say as, for example, one accountant to another. The finally accounting will be better if we do it in this manner. There was nothing concerning accounting in your question. - Spenco, Feb 19, 2012

Answer 1

I would say: "Después de todo, mejor así".

I vote for you! - Spenco, Feb 19, 2012

I wished for you and there you were! - Spenco, Feb 19, 2012

:) Thanks, Spenco. - Cordobesa, Feb 19, 2012

Answer 2

What about, This is wrong "Después de todo será mejor como esto."

or This is correct "Después de todo será mejor así" , but I would wait for the native speakers.

Thank you Cordobesa!

Where are all those native speakers.... oops I meant the truly literate native speakers when we really need them? - Spenco, Feb 19, 2012

"...será mejor como esto" isn't correct. "Después de todo será mejor así" is right :) - Cordobesa, Feb 19, 2012

I aleady voted for you just for jumping in with me. :-) - Spenco, Feb 19, 2012

Thank you very much, Cordobesa! - sanlee, Feb 19, 2012

Answer 3

Después de todo, será mejor de esta manera.

Después de todo, tal vez sea mejor así. After all, maybe it will be better this way. (If, perhaps, you have some doubt.)

Después de todo, será mejor así.

Yours would be the literal translation, but I know that "a fin de cuentas" is a popular way of saying "after all," or "when all is said and done." - kdrinning, Feb 19, 2012

So far as I know, después de todo is also a popular way of saying after all. That is how they do it in a lot of movies at least. - webdunce, Feb 19, 2012

It is also how it is said in the Spanish dictionary. - Spenco, Feb 19, 2012

Both sentences are correct, Spenco, but the first one sounds a bit odd. I would prefer: "Después de todo, será mejor así". - Cordobesa, Feb 19, 2012
