    one word

    What does this mean when ending a letter? "Целую" such as "Целую, Dalton"?

    Literally "I kiss".

    Целую, Dalton = "I kiss, Dalton"

    But I don't think it actually means "I kiss".
    Maybe more like "kisses" as in

    Dear Mary,
    Thanks for everything.
    Hugs and kisses,
    Dalton
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    It could also mean (female accusative) the whole.
    as in: я купил целую бутылку водки - I bought the/a whole bottle of vodka.

    So technically, if she thought you were a woman, she could of meant:

    (я смотрю на) целую Далтон - I am looking at the whole Dalton.

    But this post was just to confuse you. In this case she means "kisses".
    Hei, rett norsken min og du er død.
    I am a notourriouse misspeller. Be easy on me.
    Пожалуйста! Исправляйте мои глупые ошибки (но оставьте умные)!
    Yo hablo español mejor que tú.

    Notice the difference in stress:
    целую -- whole
    целую -- kiss
    My English isn't so good, зато с русским все в порядке ))
    I'll be very thankful, if you correct my mistakes.

    you know how you can sign a letter,

    XOXOXOXX

    That's the russian equivalent, without the hugs.

    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.
