Tilde

Hi Sonia,

Maybe you are referring to the apostrophe such as in I'm or I'll. Here it can mean that a contraction was made. I am = I'm. It also has some other meanings which appear in another thread.


Could you give us an example?

The Tilde is the mark (~ or sometimes ´ ) that is normally put over a letter in a Spanish word to show where to put an accent or to crea

It can also be used to express approximate numbers.

"I will arrive at ~7 pm." (here it means about)

"I will buy ~20 of them." (same, it could mean 19, 20, 21; somewhere around 20.)

Hi Sonia,

To answer your question, people sign their names in emails like
this, ~Sonia, simply because they like the way that it looks.

It is your email, so you can sign it in anyway that you wish.

The use of a tilde in this case is not about anything
other than an expression of personal style.

There are no hard rules about how to sign

~ the tilde ~ also has some usages in computer file names. I think it may be used to abbreviate long file names so that certain operating systems, which are incapable of understanding long file names, can understand them.

Thanks Ryan. I didn't know that the ~ also meant an approximate number. You learn something every day. Maybe they taught me this at school but since I never used the symbol, I forgot about it.

That's the way it is for English learners too. If you don't use it, you lose it.

Thanks a lot everybody.

1- A--->~B=A-->'not B
