In Spanish, 'I look forward to hearing from you' is translated as espero tener noticias tuyas pronto.
The phrase espero tener noticias tuyas pronto is used to tell someone that you expect a reply. It is best suited for semi-formal or informal contexts, such as writing to a friend or a colleague you know well.

What does it mean word for word?

Literally, the phrase translates to 'I hope to have news of yours soon'.

Which one should you use?

Using suyas instead of tuyas changes the phrase from the informal 'you' to the formal 'you' (usted).

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

There are several ways to express this depending on the situation. For informal settings, you can use espero recibir noticias tuyas pronto, Estoy deseando saber de ti or ¡Espero ansioso/a tu respuesta! For formal or professional business correspondence, you should use Espero tener noticias suyas pronto, Estoy deseando recibir noticias suyas or quedo a la espera de sus noticias. Additionally, if you wish to express gratitude in advance for a reply, the formal Le agradezco de antemano su respuesta is appropriate.

How does it change in a sentence?

The verb esperar (to hope/wait) is conjugated in the first person singular espero to mean 'I hope'.

How do you pronounce it?

/espeɾo teneɾ notiθjas tuʝas pɾonto/

Did you know?

  • In some Spanish-speaking cultures, requesting a reply pronto in a professional email can be perceived as slightly more demanding than the English equivalent.
  • The verb tener in the phrase espero tener noticias tuyas pronto shares a root with the English word 'tenacious', as both come from the Latin root for 'holding' or 'stretching'.
  • While the phrase is polite, using the word ansioso to express looking forward to a reply can imply a level of urgency or restlessness that exceeds the English 'look forward to'.

Examples in context

  • Si necesitas algo, espero tener noticias tuyas pronto.
    If you need anything, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    I look forward to hearing from you soon about the trip.
