Hello Lilian, 
-- "que cuentas de nuevo?" -- what's new?
I think I've translated this one exacly in the same time as you, and that's how I've put it

16 Tháng 5 2008 19:04 | | | Hi Madeleine, I'm sorry for "taking" the translation from you 
The expression: " ¿Qué cuentas de nuevo?" (that should have been the correct diacritics) has a meaning which may be shown in different ways when translated into another language.
Textually it would be: "What do you tell as news?, but of course this would be too weird in English
That's why I chose: " What's news?" (¿Cuáles son las novedades?) which means the same and is the most common way of asking in English.
But your "What's new?" (¿Qué hay de nuevo?)is also correct.  | | |

Thanks for your answer.
As always, I truly admire you for your patience.
Have a nice evening, Lilian!

"Hi, I'm just writing to say hello. How have you been? What's up? I'm still waiting for the photos of those friends you were going to introduce me to. OK my friend, I hope you are very well, regards to Hector and please give him my email."

what´s new
introduce me to | | |
17 Tháng 5 2008 01:44 | | | As I explained above, "What's new" and "What's news" are both correct, but since it seems to be a common preference, I'll edit that.
For " amigas que me ibas a presentar", it means : " friends you were going to introduce to me" and not the friends you were going to introduce me to"
The person was going to introduce his/her friends to the writer and not the writer to his/her friends. It's quite the same, but to be translated like you suggest, the original text should be: " amigas a las que me ibas a presentar"
I hope you understand, it's a bit weird...  | | |
