Text Submitted by lumyno	Source language: Lithuanian Labukas drauguze, Pirmiausia atleisk man uz toki nerupestinguma ir aplaiduma, jau beveik savaitele kaip tu istekejai ir as nesugebejau tau brukstelt keliu bent zodeliu. Tu man labai atleisk. Ta sestadieni, as uzdegiau Jums abiems zvakele ir buvau su jumis. Dziaugiausi uz jus abu ir labai labai sveikinau.

Translation English Translated by buble	Target language: English Hi, friend. First of all, please forgive me for such negligence and carelessness, it's been almost a week since you got married and I couldn't write you a few words. Please, forgive me. On that Saturday I lighted a candle for both of you and I was with you. I was happy for both of you and congratulated you.

	Dzuljeta Number of messages: 45	ashamed Sorry I didn't like "and congratulations." In my opinion, it should be ..."and congratulated you". Besides, I don't like "Hello" - "Labukas" is an informal word - maybe "Hi" or "Hey" would sound better

	k.p.c. Number of messages: 11	I agree with Dzuljeta regarding "and congratulations". This is one of the points I meant by saying "too literal". Also, the phrase "for such negligence and carelessness" looks like a segment from financial report , keeping in mind that it is a letter to a friend. I would simply change it to "please forgive me for being so careless and oblivious".
