| Now that I've finished my examinations | TranslationEnglish Translated by kafetzou | Target language: English
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. |

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.  | | | 7 November 2010 00:25 | | | Yes, it's necessary, and no, that wouldn't sound better. | | | 7 November 2010 03:28 | | | 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. | | | 7 November 2010 11:07 | | | Got it!  | | | 7 November 2010 11:25 | |  User10Number of messages: 1173 | It's "Friday" (Sunday-ΚυÏιακή) and instead of "building" (κτήÏιο/κτίÏιο) it's "land/estate/property". | | | 7 November 2010 17:03 | | | 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. |
