Not close as in distance. Close as in close with.

E.g. Me and my sister are close.

Answer 1

I will answer your question with an example .. as no further explanation seems necessary,, u may ask though if you may have any doubts..

Entre ambos hermanos existe una relación muy estrecha.

The two brothers have a very close relationship.

Answer 2

Estamos muy unidos/unidas (si los dos son chicas) is my version.

Answer 3

I think the translator is right: Estamos muy unidas or, you can say Mi hermana y yo tenemos una relación íntima.

Answer 4

I have made an atempt putting your question into the translator and it has given me a bad response. Is why I answer you.

Be close=estar unid@s/sentirse unid@s

Me and my sister are close Yo y mi hermana estamos muy unid@s/ nos sentimos muy unid@s.

As you can see I am not English native so I would ask you that you correct my English

That's ok, but for homework questions, they have to make an attempt. Even if it's the wrong one, the point here is they made an effort. - rac1, Oct 18, 2015

This is one of the SD rules. - rac1, Oct 18, 2015

My sister and I are close (so you do not think the questioner is using proper grammar). That is why I am answering you - you could say that is why I answer you, but it would be less natural- either way we need a subject. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 18, 2015

Answer 5

Here is a link to our translators. Give it a try and post what you get.

sorry there not exist your advice when I have started writing. it gets me a long time to write it in English - 000a35ff, Oct 18, 2015

Sorry, your advice was not there when I started writing. It takes me a long time to write (it) in English. Your advice did not exist when...would also be possible but it would be less common for a native to say it that way I think. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 18, 2015

We cannot use present perfect for a completed action. I think you could say when I had started writing, but it is more natural in simple past in my opinion. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 18, 2015

Answer 6

Would any of these work?

íntimo cercano estrecho directo

Which is used most??

Unida is the most common, estrecha would work, or íntima, but that can misfire if you're talking about a brother for example.. - annierats, Oct 18, 2015

Thanks for posting your attempt. :) - rac1, Oct 18, 2015
