How do you say "let me know how it goes" in spanish?

Question

Dejarme saber Como te vaya

Answer 1

Hello Ricanboy,

Very good question!

You asked:

How do you say: "let me know how it goes" in spanish? Dejarme saber Como te vaya

I would say: "¡Hazme saber cómo va!" = Let me know how it goes / how it's going!

In Spanish there are often many different ways to express the same idea, and as I am not a native Spanish speaker I am sure that any natives who may respond to your post like Daniele or Raff will be able to offer you other and probably better alternatives!

Accurate translation in Spanish, like for any language, really depends to a great extent on the context, so, the part ' how it (?) is going' is a little vague (unclear)! What do you mean? How is 'what' going? How is the project going? How are you getting on with regard to your health?

Let me know how the project is going! = ¡Hágame saber cómo va el proyecto!

Let me know how you are (doing)! = ¡Hazme saber cómo te va!

Let me know (advise me ) when you arrive! = ¡Avísame cuando llegues!

Let me know when you have finished the work = ¡Avísame cuando hayas terminado el trabajo!

In these first two examples above, the 'let me know' part can be translated by hágame saber but the rest of the sentence depends exactly on what you want to say! (mean)

For English speakers learning Spanish: (beginners and intermediate level) please read:

There really does not exist in Spanish a 'one size fits all' construction that can be used in many contexts/ every context like there often exists in English! Many English speaking natives unaware of this difference, and often making assumptions that Spanish grammar works in the same way as their own language, expect there to be one easy translation so fail to offer sufficient context (information) to explain exactly what they mean by their English sentence. Spanish, from my experience, is very specific and uses different words according the context rather than using one word like 'get' which can be translated by at least 8 different Spanish words!

I hope this helps

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Feliz what is the verb you get "Hágame" from? :) - ian-hill, May 18, 2017

Ian, it comes fron the imperative/command form of the verb 'hacer' (to make / do) literally Make me know etc...although as we know a well-educated English native would never say it that way! It provea again how important it is to learn how native-born - FELIZ77, May 18, 2017

people of any country speak their own language, and to avoid 'word por word' literal translations :) - FELIZ77, May 18, 2017

My native Spanish teacher confirmed to me that hágame saber is correct :) - FELIZ77, May 18, 2017

The familiar is "hazme saber" - Daniela2041, May 18, 2017

I also like "avísame saber." - Daniela2041, May 18, 2017

Yes, I should have put it in the familiar form Hazme - FELIZ77, May 19, 2017

Feliz: I know you are not a native speaker, so I'll say Goooooood job!! - Raff75, May 20, 2017

Feliz: I dont know if your "hazame" is a typo. Anyway, it's "hazme". Hagame (usted), Hacedme (vosotros), hazme (tu). - Raff75, May 20, 2017

Daniela: It's the very first time that I see the construction "avisame saber", though I do like it. Is it something local? Id like to know more about it. - Raff75, May 20, 2017

"Dejar saber" sounds like English to me. I prefer "hacer saber", "avisar" or some good and old Spanish construction like: Como va todo? (How is it going?) - Raff75, May 20, 2017

Some emphasis, burdens and nuances in Spanish has to be expressed following a different tradition. You just cannot take a snapshot of an English expression, although we do it quite frequently haha. - Raff75, May 20, 2017

Raff, it was a mistake left behind when I changed the form from Usted to tú form and forgot to completely delete all the letters in the previous word Thank you for reminding me it was still there I have fixed it now - FELIZ77, May 20, 2017

Muchas gracias Raff :) - FELIZ77, May 20, 2017

Answer 2

Let me know how it goes.

Déjame saber cómo está yendo.
or
Déjame saber cómo está marchando.
or
Déjame saber cómo está funcionando.

If how it goes could have something to do with YOU, you could also say:

Déjame saber cómo te está yendo.
or
Déjame saber cómo te está marchando .
or
Déjame saber cómo te está funcionando.

Te one with yendo is my favorite. I would also prefer the one with Te or if it's to him or her , le or if it's to them les etc.

Hágame saber (usted) or Hazme saber ( tú) are okey too.

Avísame(tú) or avíseme ( usted) could also be okey.
