| | Does the original imply that the connection is a family relationship? Also, does it seem that the person has actually seen her, or that he has run into her on a website or something? |

| | Which relationship are you talking about? |

| | The word that was translated as "connection" in English. I can't read Finnish. |

| | The word 'tavata' is used when you meet someone in person - just like the 'nice to see you' in english implies. The original text doesn't imply anything regarding the meantioned connection. It could be a family relation, she could have friends there that she regularly keeps in touch with or she could sometimes have spent some time in Finland. Anything really but I guess those are the most common connections a person can have. |

| | OK; thanks. In that case the translation is good, although I'm not sure it agrees with the French one. Francky, could you have a look and make sure we're OK here? |

| | Translation to english is good.
Have already discussed with Francky about the "relations" which he confirmed to be ok even with other connections (not only of family type).
(I should think here the meaning is rather other than family connection, guess it would have been said in another way in that case...) |

About meeting, they really do see face to face, it happens now (or perhaps even in the future - we do not have future tense in our language). |

| | Come to think of it. "Nice to MEET you" would be an even more accurate translation, but since the translation has allready been accepted I think I can't change it anymore. |

| | As houtari said, the French version already mentions "meet" and not "see", using a formal politness formula (kind of "pleased to meet you" in French).After editing the English version with "meet" instead of "see" English and French versions would stick together, I think... |
