What does the spanish sentence detto anche di te mean in English?

The Spanish phrase "detto anche di te" is grammatically incorrect. It seems to be attempting to say "said of you too".

Here's why it's incorrect:

* "Detto" is the past participle of "dire" (to say), but it's missing an article. It should be "detto" "il" ("said the") or "detto un" ("said a").

* "Anche" means "also," and it's placed in the wrong position. It should come before "detto."

* "Di te" means "of you."

A corrected and more natural way to express this in Spanish would be:

* "Questo si dice anche di te." (This is said of you too.)

* "Lo stesso si può dire di te." (The same can be said of you.)

These phrases are more idiomatic and convey the meaning of "said of you too" more accurately.
