(ik wens je een) fijne kerstvakantie en ik hoop dat we meer tijd voor elkaar zullen kunnen vinden volgend jaar

I assumed that you meant "i hope that we will both have more time for eachother next year".. that "hearing" didn't really make sense to me
I also assumed that you meant "I hope" and not just "hope"

to listen to it, enter this:
(ik wens je) efijne kerstvakantie en ik hoop dat we meer tijd voor elkaar zullen kunnen vinden volgend jaar

here (with the Dutch voice "Femke"): http://www.acapela-group.com/text-to-sp ... -demo.html

the bot kept reading "een fijne" as "één fijne", so we had to cheat a little with "efijne"

hoi Grytolle, mag ik? Ja, het is wel I hope (goed gezien :-D ) maar hope zonder I is mogelijk, denk ' hope met de (') als in we'll, but only in a relaxed sort of way like in Arroyo's sentence. Denk toch aan een bar, een vriend of vijf rond een bier of tien, een onder hen zegt "hope you can make it (come to the party/football/etc) next Saturday". :-D
Nu moet je mijn Nederlands corrigeren :)

Groetjes, Arthur

Dat kan inderdaad, maar omdat hij net een imperatief had gebruikt werd de zin dubbelzinnig en/of het tegenovergestelde van wat hij wou zeggen :)

je bent goed gelijk (ik geef je goed gelijk?) maar ik heb zijn zin gelezen als een 'in de bar' zin en daar heb je een careless way of talking. Hoe zeg je dat in Nederlands? :)
Dus voor me werd er geen tegenovergesteld.
In vol:
I hope you have a nice winter holiday and I hope [that] we will both have more time to talk [together] (denk ik) next year.
Inderdaad, ik heb ook die zin helemaal niet goed begrepen.
de woorden tussen [] zijn zoals je zal weten, in Engels niet nodig.
Groetjes, Arthur

Hi Arroyo,

I think Grytolle's translation is correct, but I changed two things: 1. I moved 'volgend jaar' to the beginning of the second clause (not so important, but that is how I would say it); 2. I skipped 'zullen' because it is not necessary. If you wish to hear the correct pronunciation in the link he provided, make sure to replace "een" by "'n":

Ik wens je 'n fijne kerstvakantie en ik hoop dat we volgend jaar meer tijd voor elkaar kunnen vinden.
