Context would help. Without context even the English makes no sense.

A context would be that someone was invited to a party where a super kind of beer was to be served. But someone got there late, and so the Inviting party says:

"Well, you're here now, but we just ran out." This would be a better translation of your Spanish sentence and it would be a little more logical. smile

A better caption would be ¿"Se acabó la cerveza?"

Yes thank you! That makes alot more sense. We are still having trouble figuring out the best way to phrase things for them to make the most sense. - L2927, Aug 22, 2017

No. It does not. Why don't you post the English sentence?

Me and my friend are learning spanish and he said that and I didn't think it was right. He was trying to say " you're here now but there is no more" - L2927, Aug 22, 2017
It's "my friend and I" not "me and my friend". - NKM1974, Aug 22, 2017
cmon nkm, me and my friend is very colloquial - 006595c6, Aug 22, 2017
"my friend and I" is British and "me and my friend" is American. - NKM1974, Aug 22, 2017

" you're here now but there is no more" -

context is all that counts, welcome to the forum, l2927 smile

Estás aquí ahora, pero no hay nada más.

You are here now...but we don't know what the future will bring...is that what he meant?

That is what I would say.

Daniela thought you were saying: there is no more food, no more milk..something in that line...which was what it sounded like in your friend's sentence.

As anything you need, but it is better to give context and both the original sentence and your attempt to translate it.
