Need help with a Spanish cell text translation please

Question

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some help in translating a text message I received. Any ideas as to what it means would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

"si pero pense llegar temprano esque el camion donde vengo de mi pueblo se echo aperder"

Thanks again!

Answer 1

Sí, pero pensé llegar temprano. Es que el camión donde vengo de mi pueblo se echó a perder.

Yes, I meant to come early. It's just that the truck (or bus) that I come on from my town broke down.

"echarse a perder" can be used for anything being wrecked or ruined. - lorenzo9, Jan 5, 2010

Answer 2

"si pero pense llegar temprano esque el camion donde vengo de mi pueblo se echo aperder"

Not taking into account spelling/grammar, this is the point of your friends message:

Yes, I planned to arrive early but the bus/truck that I'm on coming from my town broke down.

dandi and anagie are correct - 00769608, Jan 5, 2010

he meant bus not truck...truck would of been camioneta. - 00769608, Jan 5, 2010

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Answer 4

Well, Si is yes, pero is but, pense is I thought, llegar is to get or to bring, temprano is early, esque is not a word, el camion is the truck, donde is where, vengo is I, de mi pueblo is of my town, and se echo aperder is they _____ ,and I think they mean, learn. So I think it means, "Yes but I will bring the truck early where it is on my side of town and they ____ learn.

Sorry! I tried, your friend spelled several words wrong so I hope this makes sense to you.
