Asi que pensé, talvez gustaria ir conmigo.

Question

Am I saying this correctly? (Latin American Spanish)
I hope I'm at least close!

Asi que pensé, talvez gustaria ir conmigo.
So I thought, maybe you'd like to go with me.

Also: "So I thought, maybe you'd like to join me."

Thanks! Anna

Answer 1

Oh my gosh I was thinking the same thing! ~

Answer 2

Anna
By the time you sorted all this out, he has probably got fed up and gone on his own.

Answer 3

Bingo!

Answer 4

Ok, I'll listen to you - so is this correct?

Así que pensé que te gustaría acompañarme.

I just don't want it to get all sappy and overly composed. It must remain casual.

Answer 5

Sorry, Anna, but that is not a winner, since it is lacking "que," which cannot be eliminated in Spanish. We optionally eliminate the "that" in English, but not in Spanish.

Plus, I think Heidita was right that acompañarme sounds better than "ir conmigo." You may be thinking that "accompany me" sounds stuffy in English, but acompañarme doesn't have the same register in Spanish. It sounds very natural.

Answer 6

Así que pensé te gustaría ir conmigo.

Oh, but the wrong winner!!!

It must be:

Así que pensé QUE te gustaría ir conmigo.

Answer 7

Indeed! We have a winner:

Así que pensé te gustaría ir conmigo.

¡Gracias!

Answer 8

haha, based on all the info, I'm ok with "pensé" and an excellent point made above - I'm taking out tal vez as well!

Thanks everyone!

Answer 9

I think I get what you mean, as a solo learner all the stuff I get is mostly from books :-( so I don't get that 'feel' for the language that you indicate here.

Answer 10

Oh how true.

Answer 11

I would still use "pensé"

You know what it is like....women always need to have the last word...jejejej

Answer 12

That's kind of what I was thinking.
Just a thought:
is 'Así que pensaba que tal vez te gustara ir conmigo' possible'

Answer 13

I would use pensé too.

You can also say.

Así que pensé que a lo mejor te gustaría acompañarme.

Answer 14

I think both pensaba and pensé would be grammatically correct. It's just that pensaba sounds better to me (although I am not a native speaker). With "pensé" it's more of a sudden occurrence, like "It struck me that..." With "pensaba" it's more like "I was thinking that/wondering if..." So that part is up to you.

Answer 15

Hi Anna
I have only just spotted it because of James's reply, but you left out the pronoun "te" in your sentence.
