How to Say "Of You" in Spanish

de ti

/de ti/from spelling rules

The English phrase 'of you' is translated into Spanish as de ti.

What does it mean word for word?

The word de means 'of' or 'from', and ti is the prepositional form of the pronoun tú (you).

'De ti' is used only with people you are on familiar terms with (tú), whereas 'de usted' is used for formal distance.

Use de ustedes to mean 'of you' when addressing a group of people.

/de ti/

If you use de ti to express a desire, such as 'tengo ganas de ti', the meaning shifts from 'of you' to a much more intense, often romantic, 'longing for you'.
The word ti is a remnant of the Latin dative case tibi, which specifically indicated an indirect object or a target of an action.
In certain Spanish-speaking regions like the Andes, you might hear de vos instead of de ti due to the use of 'voseo'.
