English term

would you please pass this letter onto Pavlos Dimitiadis, your nephew/son

Non-PRO English to Greek Other
I have two old addresses for a friend, and I am writing to them both in the hope that his family still there, I'd like them to pass the letter on.

Θα μπορούσατε , παρακαλώ, να δώσετε αυτό το γράμμα στον Παύλο Δημητριάδη, τον ανηψιό/γιο σας;

which sounds something like: "Tha mporusate, parakalo, na dosete afto to gramma ston Pavlo Dimitriadi, ton anipsio/yio sas?"

Slightly different from the above suggestion; it sounds more greek to me this way... :-)

disagree Joanna5 : Your suggestion would be correct if the asker had used the verb "could" instead of "would"

agree Maria Nicholas (X) : I agree with this version, it is more true to everyday speaking. "Tha thelate" translates to me as "would you want to" (?). Shouldn't be so literal.
