Can anyone please help translate this line?

Postby shimon » 2013-12-19, 14:47

It's for the parents of a friend in case tykat/vykat is an issue. I knew the parents quite well.

This is the line:

"Thank you for buying a cottage in Harmonia and making me love the forest."

Any help appreciated as they don't speak English and this is beyond my Slovak ability.

Ok, here is my non-native but probably (almost) correct translation. :)

"Ďakujem Vám za kúpu chalupy/chaty v Harmónii a že ste ma naučili milovať les."

Use word chata if it is used mainly for seasonal recreation and chalupa if it is used for living there whole year.

Thanks, there's no way I would have worked that one out!

Your translation is correct, but I would use word "Vám" in lowercase. Uppercase version is used when you're writing a letter to a single person you appreciate.

To je pravda. I já používám vám s malým písmenem, pokud to není přímo v dopise, ale bylo mi kdysi řečeno, že bych měl psát velkým kdykoli v písemné podobě. Jsem rád, že se v tomhle s někým shodnu. :)

Po 7 rokoch stále neviem presne používať, kedy písať zámená malými alebo veľkými písmenami. Existujú pre toto nejaké pravidlá?

Ani neviem v istých prípadoch používať správny vid, ale no, to je iná vec. :) (Dĺžka tiež...)
