How to convey regards in French

[Crack1]

In English we say please give/convey my best regards to him/her.
How about my French translations?
Being a native French speaker , you might write otherwise.

1) Donne-lui le bonjour de ma part.
Please convey my best regards to him. OR Please give him my best regards..

2) Donne-la le bonjour de ma part.

Please convey my best regards to her. OR Please give her my best regards.

(1) is fine-- note you do need lui (the indirect pronoun) so (2) isn't correct.

More informally, you can also just say: Dis-lui bonjour de ma part.

Passer le bonjour seems more common to me.

Passe-lui le bonjour de ma part !

[Neil Coffey]

Yes, as far as I can tell that's also true (though donner is still used in about 1/4 of cases). Interestingly, donner appears to be a bit more common with the vous form compared to tu.

Thanks for pointing this out -- I'll update the dictionary entry for bonjour accordingly.

Passe-lui le bonjour de ma part !

Dis-lui bonjour de ma part !

So irrespective of the gender I am free to use one of the above.

In French we say 'Dit moi ...

For me, both 'passe-lui' and 'dis-lui' sound consistent with the idea of greetings. I mean the very meaning of conveying regards is to greet someone.
