    Re: Spanish speakers, HELP!

    I wish I could help. I typed it into a free translation site and got this
    ¿Podemos encontrar en 9 soy mañana?
    I speak minimal spanish not enough to know if either of those make enough sense. Hopefully someone who speaks it well will chime in!

    Re: Spanish speakers, HELP!

    "soy" means "am" (like "I am") not a.m.

    My high school Spanish from a very long time ago thinks a combination of what the two of you have would work.

    Podemos cumplir a las nueve manana (I don't know how to do a tilde though )

    You are so right about the "soy." I should have caught that. "A las" is definitely better, lol. I sometimes use the free translation and shudder to think what I might actually be saying!

    Re: Spanish speakers, HELP!

    Here are two ways I might say that.
    Estimado Venustiano,
    Podemos encontrarnos a las 9 de la manana.

    or

    Estimado Venustiano,
    Podemos reunirnos a las 9 de la manana.

    I've changed the greeting assuming this is a more formal interaction. Perhaps this is being sent to a professor, business colleague. I would use querido(dear ) if I was addressing someone I am more familiar with(dad, hubby,brother in law , friend)
