la neta

[salazar]

I was told to have this translated by a Mexican so it may have coloquialisms

"...la neta te extraño como amigo, que mal pedo que termináramos así."

I think it means, ' honestly i miss you as a friend, something-something ended how it did.'

All I could find for 'mal pedo' was the noise of a fart which really doesnt fit the tone of the rest of the message.

Gracias

Hi! Welcome to the forums!

What do you think the phrase means? Which words do you recognize, and which ones are difficult to identify? Please try to translate the phrase yourself first, and then we'd be happy to help you.

Bien

I'm spanish and I do not recognize any word, at least all together! The only thing: te extrañó. So strange language mexican is!

"...la neta te extraño como amigo, que mal pedo que termináramos así."

"truth be known, I miss you as a friend, how tragic that we should end like this."

This is what they meant to say, and you are correct, it contains colloquialisms.

La neta - net, bottom line, after all is said and done.

que mal pedo - tragedy, tragic, bad turn, it stinks

[nadasé]

que mal pedo que = too bad

[Chiquilla]

yes, of course, I left out the most obvious. Thank you.

The truth is that I miss you as a friend, And it's too bad that we have finished like that...

[snorklebum]

la neta is the equivalent of "bottom line"

"Bottom line, I miss you. What a bummer we had to end like this"

Mal pedo en méxico se refiere a algo así como mala onda, en inglés: hard lines, bad luck.
