Hi John
I am happy and delighted to get the gift from you ? = tumchi bhetvastu (gift) gheun mala far aanand zala
I am amazed or surprised that you could win the Competition ? = tu spardha(competition) jinklyache mala far ascharya vattate
I am confident that you will win the Dance Competition ? = Mala vishwas aahe ki tu hi nrutya spardha (dance competition ) nakkich jinkshil.
I am proud of your achievements ? = Mala tuzya kartutvacha far abhiman aahe.
Note: Though I’ve literally translated the sentences you have given me but I must warn you that literally translating english sentences in Marathi makes them look very artificial. It is always better to slightly modify them to fit them in Marathi context.
for example :
“I am happy and delighted to get the gift from you” can be make like this.
Your gift was very nice. I am happy to get it. = tumche gift far chhan hote. mala far anand zala.
Regards
Akshay.
