Is this a close translation in Spanish?

A Mario le da pena que lo hagamos.

Muchas gracias!

I would use "tristeza" instead of "pena," but I don´t know how strong the sadness is either. Otherwise, perfect!

Muchas gracias, Julian. I can construct it from the reference section, but in a day or two, I'm not sure I could! lol Muchas gracias! - bandit51jd, Jun 4, 2012
Is "pena or tristeza" a noun and a subject? - bandit51jd, Jun 4, 2012
They are both nouns and can be made subjects with the proper sentence structure - 005faa61, Jun 4, 2012
