Three sentences I'd like to translate
 
I'd like to translate these 3 sentences to put the dialogue in a colored page and make it more complete. This little dialogue comes from a manga, but I don't understand a word ç___ç I just started to study japanese and I'm not at that level yet.
This is the dialogue: http://i44.tinypic.com/ci5hy.jpg
Can anyone help me?
Please :rheart:

I think the second one is supposed to be a laugh?

Like "hahaha" but "ehehe" or something.


I could be wrong though~

I think this is what is written:

1: haha, definitely weak...
2: hehehe...
3: I guess this is a draw/tie.

(im not sure about 弱, it means weak, but its written as よえ instead of よわ) ergo, not sure if that was a mistake or what not.

Perfect, now I'm pretty sure about the meaning of the last two. I'm a little unsure about the first one, can someone else take a look, please?
kcyk8703, so many thanks ^^ And jesselt too, ありがとうございます.
I hope I wrote it correctly :D

The え ending is a male slang sort of form - like すげえ for 凄い, つええ for 強い, etc. Very very low on formality.

有り難う御座います。 is how you would write it if you had to write it in Kanji but this is rare. ありがとう basically means literally something that is hard to come by.

While we are on that topic, さようなら would be written as 左様なら in Kanji which means, If that is the case (then I must leave).

I don`t think 有り難う御座います written out in kanji is all that rare. I see it all the time.

Although I have to admit, I`d never seen 左様なら written out, so it was the first time I actually considered what it meant.
