Well, I would hope that the troublemakers can take the week to figure out the answer. If you're really, really, curious, I'll give you the answer on Monday before I leave. Hint: "te" is not possessive as Cindy correctly surmised. Those of you familiar with various Romance languages will know, the position of the subject, object, and the verb is not necessarily the same here as in English. Keep out of trouble, and good luck!

Neither translation makes sense. I was thinking that maybe "te" was objective rather than possessive. Pratik, you can't just throw out words and phrases and plan to go away and leave us dangling. Reel us in, please. Cindy -- Kellie Hartmann <hart0421@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Cindy, > <lol> My faux translation was similar to yours.
