Answer 1

Hello Campino,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum.

You asked:

What does postrer adios mean?

The Oxford (English ) Spanish Dictionary 4th Edn lists postrero -:ra adj

Postrer is used before masculine singular nouns (and means/= ) last

ex: Exhaló su postrer aliento =He breathed his last.(breath)

Point of grammer: In Spanish, adjectives are written in a shortened form (but only) when placed before masculine nouns: this is called apocopation. (apocopated /shortened form)This does not apply to feminine nouns which are written in full: ex: La casa grande = The big house.

Where did you see the words postrer adios ?

Without a proper context I could not be 100% sure,, but I believe it means last goodbye

Normally you would use the verb despedirse in Spanish

Se despidió de mi = He said goodbye to me or he bade/wished me goodbye.

I hope this helps

Mi patria idolatrada, dolor de mis dolores, Querida Filipinas, oye el postrer adiós. Ahí te dejo todo, mis padres, mis amores. Voy donde no hay esclavos, verdugos ni opresores, Donde la fe no mata, donde el que reina es Dios. - Campino33, Sep 10, 2014
