Qué significa con padres y muy señor mío?

Question

Gracias

Answer 1

Hi I had only heard 'muy señor mio ' which is used to start a formal letter. Meaning esteemed sir but in English Dear Sir is fine.

I looked it up and word reference and RAE have a phrase:

De padre y muy señor mio.

It seems to mean 'large and intense' It is described as colloquial.

It seems to me to be like an expression we use to describe something large and intense ' the mother of all. .. Fights/traffic jams/ bust ups.

I don't know if the Spanish idiom is popular everywhere and as I have seen some other definitions I hope a hispanohablante joins in so we both know the answer.

I know "muy señor mío" "My very dir sir" But I've never heard "con padres" "With Fathers??" No sé. - Daniela2041, Jan 10, 2016

"Very dear sir. Sorry - Daniela2041, Jan 10, 2016

thank you for the votes but, I think Andre's answer makes more sense - it is difficult without context - Mardle, Jan 11, 2016

Answer 2

Just throwing this out there:

Compadres y muy señor mío.

Friends and very dear sir.

Yes!! That's it. If I had heard it instead of reading it i would have gotten in immediately. - Daniela2041, Jan 10, 2016

I wish I could give you two votes for this. - Daniela2041, Jan 10, 2016

Con padres y compadres suena igual en espsñol. Generalmente en tales casos, la "n" se oye come "m". - Daniela2041, Jan 10, 2016

"como" - Daniela2041, Jan 10, 2016

compuerta y con puerta tambien - 00551866, Jan 12, 2016

Answer 3

Mardle answer is perfect. We use it in Spain (I don't know if it is use in South America) to express what Mardle said.

His examples are the same as a Spanish native would say.

Habia un atasco de padre y muy señor mio

It is a normal sentence that anybody knows but you don't use to hear it everyday.
