"As soon as we find out, I'll let you know"

Question

I'm emailing my Mexican host parents and would like to say, "But as soon as we find out, I'll let you know." Google translate is giving me: "Tan pronto como nos enteramos, yo lo haré saber." Is this the proper and common way to say it? And is the "yo" necessary?

Answer 1

Since you are talking to host parents (plural), you should reflect the plural and also subjuctive should be used for "Enterar"

"Tan pronto como nos enteremos, les haré saber."

Or

"En cuanto sepamos, les diré" ............. As soon as we know, I'll tell you

Answer 2

"Tan pronto sepamos algo, te lo haré saber" (As soon as we know something, I'll let you know)...

or "tan pronto nos enteremos, te lo haré saber" (As soon as we figure it out, I'll let you know"

Julian is right, I didn't notice that you were addressing your "plural" "host parents"... I agree with him - Tonyriva, Nov 22, 2010

Answer 3

tan pronto que sepamos algo, te avisare.

That "que"... sounds out of place, even google thinks so... "4 results for" "tan pronto que sepamos", and "376,000" for "tan pronto sepamos" - Tonyriva, Nov 22, 2010

I've never heard 'que' in that context either. Always 'tan pronto sepamos' or 'tan pronto como sepamos' - bill1111, Nov 23, 2010

I think that's a localism... I've often heard "que" in that context when in México. But I won't say it's just mi querido lindo México porque quizas otros paises usan la palabra "que" en ese contexto tambien - Duke-Taylor, Nov 1, 2012
