formal japanese over my head >_<
I'm emailing someone in Japan and I don't think I understand the replies quite right (and this is getting serious since they've been going on a while and I might have promised to send her a card or something
). This is one sentence I don't understand
またお礼状を書いて依里に英訳してもらっておくります。
the sentences before it were essentially, "Thanks for the postcards," since I picked her up a bunch.
So what I can get from this is
また お礼状 を 書いて = I'll write you another thank-you note
依里に = ??? except I think it's an adverb of some. I can't even find it in any dictionary.
英訳して = translate to English
もらって おくります = get somebody to do it (?)
So, my best guess is, I'll send you a thank-you note if/when I find somebody to translate it to English for me. This is really tough. Can someone explain this to me pleeeease? よろしく
