peer agreement (net): -1Dag Gardila, Hoe gaat het met je, mijn beste? Explanation: Voilà la traduction la plus littérale. Quand on a beaucoup de tendresse pour quelqu'un on dirait plutôt 'mijn liefje' ou 'schat' mais je je pense qu'en français vous auriez dit à ce moment-là 'ma cherie' je suis néerlandais et j'habite en france, salut, Bram |

peer agreement (net): -1Dag lieve Gardila, hoe maak je het ? Explanation: Depends on the 'status' of Gardila :) 'ma chère': if she's your/a sweetheart, you may translate by 'mijn (m'n)lieveling' (but then you'd have said: 'ma chérie') Hence, my assumption she's not your sweetheart; in this case, you should translate by: 'hoe maak je het nog, m'n beste' or -and that's the best solution- you may/should even leave out 'm'n beste' and translate the sentence by: 'Dag lieve Gardila, hoe maak je het?' whereby 'lieve' replaces 'ma chère'. No references needed here. Hope this helps. |

peer agreement (net): +1Dag lieve Gardila, hoe gaat het met je? Explanation: I agree partially with Bram and Evert. `Hoe maak je het?' might be correct, but `hoe gaat het met je?' is used more frequently. `Hoe maakt u het?' could be used, depending on the relationship of the writer with Gardila. `Lieve' would replace `ma chère'. |
