Let know

¿Cómo se dice...?

"Can you just let your mum know that they are in the park."
"Se lo puedes comentar a tu madre que están en el parque."

"If you need any help with anything/ if we can help with anything just let us know."
"Si necesitas ayuda/podemos ayudar solo hace falta que nos digas."

"Let me know by Sunday if you want to go."
"Ya me dices algo para el domingo si quieres ir."

"Can you just let your mum know that they are in the park."
"Se lo puedes comentar a tu madre que están en el parque."
I would put:
"¿Puedes avisarle a tu madre que están en el parque?"



"If you need any help with anything/ if we can help with anything just let us know."
"Si necesitas ayuda/podemos ayudar solo hace falta que nos digas."
Yours is a great translation in terms of feeling and works fine. It is not a literal translation, though (if you need it literal).


"Let me know by Sunday if you want to go."
"Ya me dices algo para el domingo si quieres ir."
Yours works alright if you take out those two words. I would prefer to say something like:
"Avísame antes del Domingo si quieres ir."

Yo quitaría el "le": avisar a tu madre.


"Let me know by Sunday if you want to go."

"Avísame antes del domingo si quieres ir."

Hazme saber para el domingo si quieres ir.

La estructura "let know" puede traducirse literalmente como "hacer saber", si bien en algunos contextos convienen otras fórmulas menos literales.

Un saludo a ambos.
