agree  dominirosa: La segunda opcion me agrada mas.
4 mins
  -> thanks!
agree  Óscar Delgado Gosálvez: sí o más formal, shall take notice
16 mins
  -> thanks
agree  translatol: But don't for forget the preposition: will take notice *of*... NOT 'acknowledge', which means 'acusar recibo'.
19 mins
  -> thanks, and good point
disagree  Matt Horsman: Taken from Collins Spanish/English dictionary. I think you'll find it's acusar recibo 'de': http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-spanish/acknowledge. And besides acusar recibo is acknowledge 'receipt' of. I think acknowledge is more formal given context

Given the notes from the sender re. "tener en cuenta" you could also say "will take into account"

agree  Karissa Misi (X)
1 hr
disagree  Jackie Bowman: No. If the committee “acknowledges” it then the committee has to do something. The connotation is that the committee will note its existence, in which case the committee (like all committees) doesn’t actually DO anything.
4 hrs
  -> By acknowledging something you do no necessarily have to do anything about it. If somebody walks into a room, and you acknowledge them....you are simply noting that they are there. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/acknowledge?view=uk

Take into account


Explanation:
take into account
tener en cuenta, tomar en cuenta

He aquí un ejemplo del uso de "tomar conocimiento":
http://www.ser2000.org.ar/protect/Archivo/d000d6a5.htm
"En cambio, en la Armada, la estructura de inteligencia protagonizó un incidente diplomático entre nuestro país y Francia. Se produjo por una enérgica crítica del gobierno francés al tomar conocimiento de que el ex marino Alfredo Astiz, declarado culpable en la justicia francesa por la desaparición de dos monjas de esa nacionalidad, formaba parte del plantel del SIN (Servicio de Inteligencia Naval)."

disagree  Jackie Bowman: With all due respect, this isn’t it. If the committee has to “acquaint itself” with the thing, its members have to read the thing. The connotation is that they won’t. They’ll simply “note” its arrival.
17 mins
  -> Can you explain why they won't read it, only "note" its arrival? "Tomar concimiento" means "enterarse " in Spanish.
neutral  Matt Horsman: Vaya chulita...y además está equivocada
