Title
Now that I've finished my examinations
Translation
Engels

Translated by kafetzou
Target language: Engels

Now that I've finished my examinations, I told Mr. Abad that you should take me with you on a Friday to your property.
Remarks about the translation
I'm guessing that the foreign name was "Abad", although it could also have been "Abat", "Ambat", or some other close variant.

The "you" is in the formal or plural form.

Hi Laura,

Is that "with you" really necessary?
I also wonder if "I told Mr. Abad that you should take me to your building (with you) on a Sunday." wouldn't sound better.

Yes, it's necessary, and no, that wouldn't sound better.

Explanation: If you leave off the "with you", the other person or people could be taking the speaker to the building and leaving him/her there. "With you", which is in the original, clarifies that building owner will be there for the transportation and the building viewing.

Where we place the prepositional phrase "on a Sunday" is unimportant. It could even be "I told Mr. Abad that on a Sunday you should take me with you to your building." But I think the way I wrote it is better than that, and the way you wrote it is equivalent.

It's "Friday" (Sunday-Κυριακή) and instead of "building" (κτήριο/κτίριο) it's "land/estate/property".

OOPS!!! Thanks, User10. She's right, Lilian. I'd edit it myself, but the site doesn't let me do that anymore. It should read as follows:

Now that I've finished my examinations, I told Mr. Abad that you should take me with you on a Friday to your property.
