Síguenos vs Me gusta

Question

Hi, I have a question. My team is working on updating one of our marketing materials from “visit Be Healthy on Facebook” to “Like Be Healthy on Facebook". I have suggested the use of "Síguenos en Facebook" even though that is not the translation word by word, but I feel is more appropriate. The other suggestion was Me gusta en Facebook. I dont feel that just translation, even though is word by work, works. We want an action. So this has become a battle. I did some research and found many other companies use Síguenos en Facebook. What is your opinion?

Answer 1

I think ' siganos' ( usted) or 'síguenos( tu) --follow us!--are the common ones, because I can't think how you order anybody to like something in Spanish. I look forward to seeing other peoples' thoughts on this.

Even in English I think the order ' Like us!' is working on a rather optimistic assumption.

I agree. I feel that in order to use "Me gusta" we will have to add more text to it such as "Haz click en el me gusta de nuestra pagina......" it is just too long - kclu787, Dec 18, 2013

"Da (un) me gusta" often works too. - HackerKing, Dec 18, 2013
