Question English to Yoruba translation

I am really happy that you wrote me back. There has
only been a few individuals that I really hoped would
write me back and you were at the top of my list. I
really like your picture. Some how you look sexy and
innocent at the same time.

What kind of activities do you enjoy doing? I like to run,
workout, surf (beginner), mountain bike, vacation, go
to the movies, Dine and just hang out with those I
care about.

What are the Men like in Nigera? Is it hard to find
an attractive, fun and God fearing Man? I think it is
very difficult to find a person that I am attracted
to, that is fun to hang with and truly loves God.
That is just a hard combination. I want to find
someone that loves me for who I am today in Christ,
not who they hope me to be. In return, I will do the
same for my future spouse. I think it is so important
to love your spouse for their faults and all.

I am a very loving, kind and energentic person. I am
very passoniate about my views, especially as they
relate to my relationship with Christ. I really enjoy
politics and debating my thoughts. I think I do a
great job of keeping an open mind. I find that some
people get frustrated because they really don't fully
understand there own views and therfore can't debate
them effectively. .One of my biggest challenges is my
attention span, at times.

I really don't like dating because it seems like I am
always hurting women when it isn't working out for me.
I don't date much for that reason.

I look forward to hearing from you. I hope you are
having a great week!

Regards,
Brett

"Yoruba" is not a South African language. In fact, I've never heard of it. Sorry.

Brett, Yoruba is spoken in Nigeria, which, if you consult a map, you'll see is bloody far from SA. Do not assume that we know all the languages just becuase we are on the same continent.

If you expect someone to translate a piece that long for you, good manners would be to at least introduce yourself and ask politely if sombody could possibly help. Maybe even use the word please.

ja manie, ek het besluit ek het wragtig nie tyd vir ongeskiktheid nie. goeie hemel. Vermetelheid is darem 'n goeie woord, nê? Ek het lanklaas daai een gebruik.

Yes... like Japanese is spoken in some areas of Britain. Small areas. Very, very small...

私が日本語学校で日本語を勉強しました。

Expecting most Brits to understand that is about the same as expecting most South Africans to understand Yoruba.
