La cuides
how would you translate la ciudes? and what is the difference between la ciudes and cuidala'
2 Answers
la cuides is often used in Hispanic countries instead of "cuídala". It is the same: take care of her.
It isn't really a complete phrase in Spanish. One might say "Espero que la cuides," or "I hope you take care of it/her." There are various other possibilities. "Cuídala" just means "Take care of it/her," and is a command.
Context is always important.
