It's not well written. I believe this is what it should be:
Si realmente quieres saber cómo hiciste con tu contra If you really want to know how you did with your ?, ask this person. The phrase 'contra de mí' could mean 'disagreement with me'. Last edited by Rusty; March 24, 2010 at 06:09 PM. |

I think it should be:
Si realmente quieres saber cómo lo hiciste en mi contra, pregunta a esta persona (ask this person) / pregunta esta persona (this person asks). |

Maybe:
Si realmente quieres saber cómo me contrariaste, pregúntale a esa persona. |

No, it's not well written.
Maybe it means: "si realmente quieres saber qué hiciste en mi contra, pregunta a esta persona", but as Chileno has pointed out, it would be better said "qué hiciste que me molestó", because one always knows what one has done against someone else.

'If' doesn't always signal a hypothetical situation. None of us understood it that way. It's an invitation, more than anything else. The sentence sounds just fine with the indicative 'quieres'.
EDIT: If you were trying to say 'with your hiring of me', it isn't translated so literally. Maybe this is what was meant: Si realmente quieres saber que hiciste un acierto en contratarme, pregunta a esta persona. Last edited by Rusty; March 24, 2010 at 06:28 PM. |

invitation? so would an invite to a party be written as "si quierES ir al fiesta"? i thought it would be "si quierAS ir al fiesta"
& is "si quieras saber como hiciste con tu contratar de mi, pregunta a esta persona" grammatically wrong? are there any words missing? are there any words that shouldnt be there? Iramar didnt see any problems with it except for the fact that it said "esta persona" instead of "a esta persona" |

@hola: your sentence has many mistakes, and it has had many interpretations. Can you write it English so we can tell you exactly what is wrong with it?
