I posted this in another thread if you want the whole story, but babblefish gives me a weird, fortune cookie sounding translation. What does this mean in this context (written in a notebook by a friend):
viele liebe grusse!!!
I had so much fun today, I'm gonna miss you!"

what's the social context as well? is it a popular saying, is it something friends say or friends who dig each other say? be honest, if the answer is "she's saying - let's bake cookies,and i'll always think of you as a gay friend" say so!

Maybe PM Klixxer?
I don't know grusse, but I'd translate it as "much love" and then whatever grusse means.

OH, I thought of that but though smiling and putting the notebook away would be much slicker and classier.

Viele Liebe Grusse = Many heartfelt greetings

It is generally used for people who are friends as a common friendly closing statement.

I'm a little rusty, but it's something about making spaetzels with happy friends.

Many dear greetings

Many love greeting

A lot of dear greeting

Three different sources came up with the above translations, but you get the drift, right?

Murban135 got it on the nose. The English equivilant is 'See ya later.'

EDIT: okay, so that is the southern American equivilant.
