The full sentence is "I expect them to invite a whole truckload of relatives over for Christmas dinner." Not sure what to use for "I expect..." Como va? Espero nosotros? Confío nosotros? I like the following but not sure it is correct:
**Como va invitar a un camión entero de los parientes a la cena de Navidad. **
Gracias

Gracias Tony...why inviten and not "nosotros a invitar"? - foxluv, Nov 12, 2010
"nosotros"? There's no reference to 1st person plural in the original sentence. - samdie, Nov 13, 2010
OK samdie_then ellos? referring to the "them" in the sentence. - foxluv, Nov 13, 2010

If you really want to use 'truckload' you could say 'camionada' for example - Espero que inviten una camionada de parientes....
