    quick translation

    Can somebody check this please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you know somebody who fixes cars?

    Вы знаете кого-то, кто ремонтирует машины?
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    кого-то sounds not very good. It's better to say кого-нибудь.

    saibot, it's correct but we prefer to say кто-нибудь, кого-нибудь etc in questions. And in answers you can say just один, одного etc

    Ты знаешь кого-нибудь из Минесоты?
    Да, знаю одного, сайботом зовут.

    Here is another quickie.
    Can somebody check my translation?

    Спасибо заранее.

    Make a wish and blow out the candles.
    Сделайте желание, и гасите свечи.

    Our relationship grows stronger every day.
    Наши отношения становятся сильнее каждый день.

    I would translate:

    Make a wish and blow out the candles.
    Загадай желание и задуй свечи.

    Our relationship grows stronger every day.
    Наши отношения становятся сильнее каждый день. - this one is fine

    Nope, it isn't
    It should be:
    Наши отношения становятся (всё) крепче с каждым днем.
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.

    Sorry... The only thing I'd change is I'd substitute the word сильнее for крепче. I meant that the sentence was grammatically correct.

    Есть мнение, что "Наши отношения крепнут" звучит естественнее.
