I'd like to know how to express the sentences the I wrote in Italian. I do mind you smoking in the office. I will have him call you. I'd better have him contact you. I will have the work done as soon as possible They had the robber arrested It was tough to get him to confess. It takes more than a speech to get the girl to make a commitment. you make me proud. It makes everyone happy. Thanks.

Hi John! I do mind you smoking in the office. - Mi da fastidio che fumi in ufficio (without any context) If this is the answer to "Do you mind if I smoke in the office?" The conversation would sound like: - Ti dispiace se fumo in ufficio? - In realtà si, mi dispiace. (Actually yes, I do mind!) I will have him call you. - Ti farò chiamare da lui I'd better have him contact you. - Preferirei fosse lui a contattarti I will have the work done as soon as possible - Finirò il lavoro al più presto They had the robber arrested - Hanno fatto arrestare il ladro It was tough to get him to confess. - E' stato difficile farlo confessare It takes more than a speech to get the girl to make a commitment. - Ci vuole più delle parole per fare prendere un impegno a una ragazza (with more context the sentence could be better :D) you make me proud. - Mi rendi orgoglioso/a It makes everyone happy. - Fa/Rende tutti felici Hope this helped!

Hi John, I do mind you smoking in the office. ( Preferirei che non fumassi in ufficio) I will have him call you. (Ti faccio chiamare da ....(lui) ) I'd better have him contact you. (preferisco che sia lui a contattarti) I will have the work done as soon as possible (finisco il lavoro quanto prima possibile) They had the robber arrested (hanno arrestato il ladro/ il ladro è stato arrestato) It was tough to get him to confess. ( è stata dura portarlo alla confessione) It takes more than a speech to get the girl to make a commitment. ( ci vuole più delle semplici parole per conquistare una donna) : è vero, bravo John! ;-) you make me proud.( mi rendi orgoglioso/a) It makes everyone happy. ( ciò li rende tutti felici)
