[10:16] <bird111> Bon dia! I know this is probably not the best channel for this question, but could someone please translate one sentence for me from english to catalan?
[10:19] <bird111> On facebook some catalans wrote "felicitats" (for my birthday) and I'd like to answer something like: thanks for the congratulations! how would i do that in catalan?
[10:20] <jordisayol> hi bird111
[10:20] <bird111> hi :)
[10:21] <jordisayol> in Catalan, usually we just answer "Moltes gràces" that mean "Thank You very much"
[10:22] <jordisayol> But You can say add at the end "En vida teva"
[10:23] <bird111> thanks for your hel! what does en vida teva mean?
[10:23] <jordisayol> is not easy to translate
[10:24] <bird111> ok, so i can say Moltes graciès or Moltes graciès! En vida teva!
[10:24] <jordisayol> something like, the hope you can see many of my birthdays
[10:25] <bird111> Oh ok, you helped me a lot! Thanks!
[10:25] <jordisayol> yes, that's right. Of course, You can say many other sentences
[10:25] <jordisayol> there is not an standard answer for this
[10:26] <jordisayol> where are you from bird111?
[10:27] <bird111> ok, I think this should be perfect already! Thanks again! I have to go now, I'm going to eat now with my collegues.
[10:27] <bird111> I'm from Germany!
[10:27] <jordisayol> ok :-)
[10:27] <bird111> But I've been to Barcelona for 4 months
[10:27] <jordisayol> aha
[10:27] <bird111> but my catalan is still not perfect ^^
[10:27] <jordisayol> it's ok
