Hello my cousin, it runs in the family, well done!
( Hola mi primo, es cosa de familia, ¡bien hecho! )

I am not sure how to say ''it runs in the family'' :S - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Hey cousin, so it seems that everything went as planned doesn't it? Oh by the way, I will need the money tomorrow so hurry up and get it.

!Congratulations¡ .

Hmmm,I guess I'll have to think of something else.:) - Yeser007, Mar 2, 2011

I fixed some grammar and spelling for you, hope you don't mind. =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 2, 2011

Gabby where do you come up with these things o.O DJ next time write it here please and then he will correct it so that he sees his mistakes :) Just in case he forgot what he had before. - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Hey cousin, it seems like everything went as planned. Right? / Yes?/ No? Oh, and by the way, I will need the money tomorrow so hurry up and get it. - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Well, everyone used to ask for it to be bolded, and just let them know... plus he can see it if he looks at the edit option, it shows all the changes made. =) If this way is what is prefered in this thread I will follow that though. ;-) - DJ_Huero, Mar 2, 2011

He oído que pasó sus exámenes - solo una pregunta - ¿cómo engañó?

Interesting use of the rare "vosotros" conjugation... gets my vote. =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 2, 2011

Grizzlyyyy bearrrrr *Hugs* Hmmm....why did you use the vosotros form? - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Answer 6

¡Felicidades mi primo brilliante! ¡Buen trabajo, Danny! Estoy tan orgulloso de ti y no puedo esperar a verte cuando vengas a visitar a los abuelos. Nos vemos pronto.

Congratulations my brilliant cousin! Good work, Danny! I am very proud of you and I can't wait to see you when you come to visit the grandparents. We'll see you soon.

Fixed the typo instead of "ia" to "ai" and changed "came" (referring to past tense) to "come" (referring to future sense) because they're going to come, not already came. ;-) - DJ_Huero, Mar 2, 2011

Thank you DJ :) - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Great job Sandy, your Spanish version looks perfect to me ;) - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Disculpadme la molestia, pero hay faltitas: cuando *vengas* (subjunctive) a visitar *a* (personal a) los abuelos. Buena suerte! - Deanski, Mar 2, 2011

Thanks DJ and Deanski. I appreciate all your help. I haven't had the subjunctive yet. ¡Muchas gracias! - sanlee, Mar 2, 2011

Just great - Dakie, Mar 2, 2011

Answer 7

Primo querido,

Ya me he enterado de que aprobaste tus exámenes con excelentes notas. No esperaba menos de ti. ¡Felicidades!

---

Dear cousin,

I learned through the grapevine that you just passed all of your exams with flying colors. I knew you could do it. Congrats, cuz!

''Querido Primo'' I am not sure if your Spanish and English versions match :S - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

I have found out that you passed your exams with excellent grades/ marks. I did not expect less from you. - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Literal translations are not my forte, HotChick... Primo querido is more familiar than Querido primo... Just food for thought. ¡Gracias! - gone, Mar 2, 2011

Answer 9

Felicitaciones, primo, pasaste los exámenes, ¡vamos a celebrar!

Congratulations, cousin; you passed your exams; let's go celebrate!

I would address him in the informal form, pasaste los exámenes, but it's perfect. :) - Dakie, Mar 2, 2011

Way to go bandit!!!! - HotChickCD, Mar 3, 2011

Yes, since I am celebrating with family the informal tense is the best choice. Gracias, Dakie! - bandit51jd, Mar 3, 2011

For me, it's nice to see the present tense being used!! Slowly I'm getting more tenses under my belt! Gracias, HotChick! - bandit51jd, Mar 3, 2011

Answer 10

¡Felicidades primo! Ya te dije que ese chinito valió el dinero, y tampoco tenías que hacer la tarea.

Congrats cousin! I told that Asian kid would be worth the money, you didn't even have to do the homework.

Rofl....bad bad DJ :P The Spanish looks perfect to me too ;) - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Congratulation cousin! I told you that the Asian kid would be worth the money and you didn't even have to do your homework. - HotChickCD, Mar 2, 2011

Hola chicos, unas faltitas: es*e* chinito...tampoco tenías (no need to put *no* when tampoco is in the beginning). Saludos! - Deanski, Mar 2, 2011

Jaja, a veces. Orale pues, gracias. - DJ_Huero, Mar 2, 2011

Sehr gut Huero, jaja we know what are we talking about. :) check PM. - Dakie, Mar 2, 2011
