What is the English translation of this excerpt? Can anyone please direct translate it for me, or kindly direct me to a place that could help me out with it?



<< je voudrais parler avec toi, mon petite. Je vous manque. Est-ce que vous Etes sain? s&ucirc;r? Je vous se soucie de. Penser de moi. >>



Also... what would a brief, appropriate reply (also in French) be? Thank you so much. :)

Back to work,
an exhausted,
~kitten

This isn't precise, but here's my take on it.

&quot;I want to sleep with you.&quot;

That's going through the french and then male filter.

Heh...I was being facetious...reading between the lines.

It translates to something like &quot; I want to speak with you. I miss you.&quot;

That's my first year french...anyhow...you always have babelfish.

chewie1 ~ gotcha... I guess it always helps to run things through the male filter too, something that babelfish can't do. :p Your help is greatly appreciated!

keribeth ~ you've got mail... :)

Thanks again,
~kitten >^.^<

i guess from these very highly skilled translators it means that the person doesnt want to speak with you, but rather get pass that and just sleep with you ;)

danny~! yo no se lo que dice porque yo no se esa lengua

NuclearNed ~ thank you for going through the trouble of looking that up for me... once again, welcome to AT!! :) *puts a lei around NuclearNed's neck and does a little dance*

Keribeth ~ works for me... thanks, hon... :)

littleprince ~ unfortunately, the conversation in French is somewhat one-sided... he's fluent, and I can barely count to ten. :p

DannyLove ~ Eeek. Men. ;) Y... yo tambien... :D:p

Loves romance languages,

<< je voudrais parler avec toi, mon petite. Je vous manque. Est-ce que vous Etes sain? s&ucirc;r? Je vous se soucie de. Penser de moi. >>

The person who wrote this is either 1) not fluent in french or 2)was intended to be written for someone else and you're spying on their conversation. Seems as if they took english and then tried to translate it into french. Doesn't flow right. They wrote this in the formal manner using the formal &quot;vous&quot; to refer to you when &quot;tu&quot; would have sufficed if they really knew you well. Word for word, here is what it means:

&quot;I would like to talk with you my small. I miss you. Are you healthy? I care about you. Think of me.&quot;

It depends on the person actually. Its a sign of respect. I knew a woman for years (a good family freind) and she always used vous. So whenever I spoke to her, I used it too even though tu would have been appropriate. They might not be fluent as in its their first language, however, I think it flows pretty well.

OK, my turn, what does this say?

Jusqu'a la fin
En plein soleil
Jusqu'a la fin
En plein amour


(The a in Jusqu'a has little dash like \ above it.)

Thankyou
