Qued? muy bien.


Can someone help me with a translation of this phrase? Does it mean "I remain very well?" or is there some idiomatic meaning. I really appreciate this ayuda!

Yep, Jesse's right. Let me guess, Ken. You did some kind of work for someone and they were satisfied. So they were saying "Good job-look's great- works fine", etc. Qued? = 3rd p., past- "It remained".

Everybody's right - there might be a little variation depending on context - I'd probably go with:

"It turned out well." or " It turned out ok."- as in -

Al final - qued? bien.

In the end - it turned out well.

Thanks to all of you


"It looks great" fits best in the context in which it was said. Oso had it nailed!

Thanks again,
