Spanish Conversation
Manager: ¿Tienes todo para revisar el proyecto?
Manager: Do you have everything to review the project?
Employee: Sí. Traje el avance y la lista de pendientes.
Employee: Yes. I brought the progress update and the list of outstanding items.
Manager: Perfecto. Empecemos por lo urgente.
Manager: Perfect. Let's start with what's urgent.
Employee: Lo más importante es que el proveedor todavía no confirma la fecha de entrega.
Employee: The main issue is that the supplier still hasn't confirmed the delivery date.
Manager: ¿Cuándo les escribiste?
Manager: When did you email them?
Employee: Ayer por la mañana y volví a insistir hoy.
Employee: Yesterday morning, and I followed up again today.
Manager: ¿Respondieron algo?
Manager: Did they reply at all?
Employee: Solo dijeron que lo estaban revisando.
Employee: They only said they were looking into it.
Manager: Eso nos puede mover el calendario.
Manager: That could shift our schedule.
Employee: Sí. Si entregan el viernes, llegamos bien. Si se van al lunes, ya nos complica.
Employee: Yes. If they deliver Friday, we're fine. If it slips to Monday, it becomes a problem.
Manager: ¿Tenemos alternativa?
Manager: Do we have an alternative?
Employee: Hay otro proveedor, pero es más caro y necesitaríamos aprobar el cambio hoy.
Employee: There's another supplier, but they're more expensive, and we'd need to approve the change today.
Manager: ¿Cuánto más caro?
Manager: How much more expensive?
Employee: Como un doce por ciento.
Employee: About twelve percent.
Manager: No es poco.
Manager: That's not insignificant.
Employee: No. Por eso preferí esperar antes de proponerlo.
Employee: No. That's why I preferred to wait before proposing it.
Manager: Hiciste bien. Démosle al proveedor actual hasta mediodía.
Manager: You did the right thing. Let's give the current supplier until noon.
Employee: ¿Y si no confirma?
Employee: And if they don't confirm?
Manager: Me mandas las dos opciones con costos y tomamos una decisión.
Manager: Send me both options with the costs, and we'll make a decision.
Employee: Perfecto.
Employee: Perfect.
Manager: ¿Qué más está pendiente?
Manager: What else is still pending?
Employee: El cliente pidió un cambio pequeño en el diseño.
Employee: The client asked for a small design change.
Manager: ¿Pequeño de verdad o pequeño según el cliente?
Manager: Actually small, or small according to the client?
Employee: Pequeño de verdad, por suerte.
Employee: Actually small, luckily.
Manager: Bien.
Manager: Good.
Employee: El equipo ya lo está ajustando y debería quedar hoy.
Employee: The team is already adjusting it, and it should be done today.
Manager: Entonces eso no me preocupa.
Manager: Then I'm not worried about that.
Employee: A mí tampoco. Lo único delicado es la entrega.
Employee: Neither am I. The delivery is the only delicate part.
Manager: De acuerdo. ¿Necesitas algo de mí antes de mediodía?
Manager: Agreed. Do you need anything from me before noon?
Employee: Solo que estés disponible si tenemos que aprobar al segundo proveedor.
Employee: Just be available in case we need to approve the second supplier.
Manager: Lo estaré.
Manager: I will be.
Employee: Perfecto. Te mando actualización en cuanto tenga respuesta.
Employee: Perfect. I'll update you as soon as I hear back.
Manager: Bien. Con eso cerramos.
Manager: Good. That's all for now.
