Hello,

Can someone give me an approximate translation of the question "Will you give me any little details into the insanity that is your life?" I know this may be idiomatic, but it is for a casual correspondence with someone I use the "tu" form with.

Thanks!
Sanura Y.

Here you go

Me donnerez-vous des petits détails dans la folie qui est votre vie? Is probably correct.

AltaVista - Babel Fish Translation

I would say "me donnerai-tu les petits détails de la folie qui est ta vie ?"

Vous / votre are used when addressing many people or one person formally but based on phrasing it's being used in the multiple-person way, and therefore the babelfish translation makes no sense.

Babel is always so formal.

I would say:

Me donneras-tu quelques renseignements sur la démence qui est ta vie?

What translator are you using? It's much better but there are extra un-needed words in that sentence.

After renseignements you have "de sur la" which isn't right, sur or de la alone would be correct, not both, its like saying "of" twice

Same after demence you have "que qui" you only would need qui.

Whoops? I was trying to see which worked (de ou sur) and I forgot to delete them :P

Me donnerais-tu des petits détails sur la folie qu'est ta vie
