Please help....i have received a text and not sure what to reply.. "En cuanto vuelva a Miami te lo voy a hacer como nadie te lo hecho nunca..." Thank you!

Basically it means: As soon as I return from Miami I am going do to you what no one has ever done.(before)

As Jimmy rightly (correctly) says, it should say: como nadie ha hecho (has done)

These words "do to you" are ambiguous as I understand them, and could be interpreted positively or negatively depending on the kind of relationship you have with the sender and so any other e-mails they sent you could be helpful to you and us in understanding the tone of their words: do to you!

May I ask what kind of relationship you have with this person who sent you the text? Do you know them, and if so , how well do you know them?

A little more background information could be helpful in giving some context to the tone of their reply smile

Is the person male/ female, and a friend? Have they (singular) sent you any other texts?

I ask this because of the words that say: " do to you "

A romantic relationship could put a different slant on the interpretation compared with someone (a stranger) with whom you have had an arguement and, not meaning to worry you , but it could sound like a kind of threat !

Context is vital when determining meaning so any other e-mails or words that came with this or any other e-mail may well help to understand what the person is meaning by the words: do to you

However, if you already have a clear idea what these 3 highlighted words above mean and would rather not share any further information here, that is fine/cool! smile

I hope this helps smile

Corrijan mi español, por favor ( I am open to correction, as usual especially from native _speaker) smile

When you are back to Miami I'm going to do something, what nobody have done to you

Well, close ,, but not exactly...

The exact translation should be : as soon as you return to Miami, I will do it for you as no one has done it for you ever..

But there is a little grammatical error in the Spanish sentence too ...  "En cuanto vuelva a Miami te lo voy a hacer como nadie te lo hecho nunca... (it should be ha hecho, or habría hecho.... just the participle without the auxilary verb haber doesn't make sense to me .. hehe) ..

This is a rather complicated sentence so i/we helped you this time as the machine translator may not have yielded a good translation (considering the complexity of the sentence) .. but in future for simple translations you may use the machine translator and then you can take the advice of the forum members if you are not satisfied with the translation .. hehe .. good luck .. regards..

Welcome to the forum,

Have you tried using the machine translator?

I request you to make an attempt translating using the translation functionality and if you still don't understand, you may post the outcome from the translator here and we can try to help you understand and correct it if needed ..

Just to give you a little head way with the sentence though, "en cuanto" is an adverbial phrase which means "as soon as possible" and the verb volver means to return ... so please make one attempt yourself (use the machine translator if you like) and we will correct you .. once you would have posted your attempt ..

Regards,
