What I know:
1. Menya interesuet opera.
2. Ya interesuius' operoi.
What I think I know:
1. Ya zainteresovan v opere.
2. On byl zainteresovan kupit' novyi dom.
What I tried to translate and I failed:
1. "Dear Aleksei, I think I found someone that might be interested in buying out / acquiring your company"
- My translation: Yvazhaemyi Aleksi, dumaiu, chto ya nashel kogo-to, kotoryi, mozhet byt' zainteresovan v ???
This language is killing me:madred::wall::wall::wall::wall::madred::wall::m adred:
Antonio, don't be so hard on yourself, you're on the right track there, actually you did very well.
Just a few notes:
Я заинтересован в опере - this sounds like you're interested in one particular opera play, whereas:
Меня интересует опера - sounds like you're just interested in opera as a form of art.
"Dear Aleksei, I think I found someone that might be interested in buying out / acquiring your company"
"Уважаемый Алексей, думаю, что нашел кое-кого, кто может быть заинтересован в покупке вашей компании"
That's the way to go, a few things to note though.
If you say уважаемый someone it's much better to refer to that someone with not only their first name, but also the patronymic/last name or the combination of all of those three. Anyway, usually it's first name + patronymic
Кое-кого - I used that one instead of кого-то because кое-кого implies that you know exactly who that someone is, whereas кого-то means that you only have a vague idea of who the someone is. Nevertheless you can replace any of those two with человек there - "... нашел человека, который..."
Take care.
Как-то всё неопределённо. "кое-кого", "может быть"...
А что если:
Или, если обязательно хочется ввернуть "заинтересованного":Quote:
"Думаю, я нашёл потенциального покупателя вашей компании" .
Quote:
"Думаю, я нашёл человека, заинтересованного в покупке вашей компании"
Regarding Yvazhaemyi perhaps Cyprus is the only country we do this.Quote:

P.S. By the way I have noticed that this is the first time since the time we enter the forum in Autumn of 2012 that I have more posts that you in the Forum (718 > 716). :elephant::sorry:
I don't know if this is good or bad.
Actually, you are very good at Russian, Antonio. I started to learn Russian again after a long time and I like reading your threads because they are interesting and whenever a native speaker answers a question there is, of course, a lot of common words from everyday speech. Not only you will know correct anwers, but also you will learn common(est) phrases. To me, the more threads the better! :)
Spasibo za xoroshie slova :)Quote:

But your sentence is still alright, just not that common
Часто ещё говорят: Ответы@Mail.Ru: Когда говорят: " СПАСИБО НА ДОБРОМ СЛОВЕ"?
Не старайся здесь понять падеж, так как это просто такое сложившееся выражение, устойчивое/устоявшееся словосочетание, застывшая конструкция. Носит разговорный характер.
