Translate "better friends"

Question

How would you translate "better friends"? This is the sentence: "If we were better friends, I would hug you". I want to translate it... Si fuéramos más amigos te abrazaría. But I don't know if that is grammaticaly correct. Could I also say: Si fuéramos amigos mejores, te abrazaría. -sounds weird to me I don't want to say "mejores amigos" because I don't want to say best friends.

Answer 1

I believe that "mejores amigos" means better friends and that "los mejores amigos" means best friends.

Si fuéramos mejores amigos, te abrazaría.

Don't forget the comma.

Also, I have noticed that the English conditional "would do something" is often translated into the present subjunctive or even the present indicative. Similar to how many more future oriented statements in Spanish are stated with the present tense than in English,

Si fuéramos mejores amigos, te abrazo. Si fuéramos mejores amigos, te abrace.

I'm still learning, so feedback from native speakers is welcome as to which, if any, of these statements are preferred or more common.
