Question

I translated most, but hechandole ?. But the tone/intent of this message escapes me. I meet her on vacation and wanted to meet her again in Vallarta. Is this a "we are just friends" note?

Answer 1

Her problems with Spanish go beyond simple questions of punctuation. The tone is "inviting"/'encouraging". There is a Japanese saying "Suezen kuan; otoko no haji." which (very loosely) translates as "Not eating what is served to you (put in front of you), a man's shame." This is, of course, uncompromisingly chauvanistic/sexist (as in MCP) but then I didn't invent thee expression; I'm only reporting it.

Answer 2

NO, jeb, she is saying she cannot go the 4 days, she will go on Saturday to Sunday, and she is calling herself "novia" so that definateley shows she is interested.

echarle ganas de trabajar simply means she hopes you still like your job or what you are doing.

Oh, she also says with her arms wide open so that is it I think for you

I was having difficulty understanding because of the lack of punctuation. - Nathaniel, Aug 31, 2009

Answer 3

I don't know about hechandole but I'm curious as to whether that's what she meant to type considering "echandole" is the adverb present participle of "echar" which means to miss someone or something. If I can figure out the tone soon I'll post that up as well, since that's trickier to interpret.
