My bro was looking for help on traslating a relative clause from a review of Kiki's Delivery Service
今年13歳を迎えるキキは
Thanks

Are you looking for an exact translation? It just basically says Kiki is 13 when you meet her.

"This year, meet the 13 year old, Kiki" That is if you want the most literal translation. I would normally think it says she is turning 13, but the verb they use is to go meet, and after 13 is the kanji for sai, which is used for age. Yep, that is about it...
EDIT: Thought I had a mistake, corrected myself :P

it says:
this year, kiki, who is turning 13 [who is meeting with her 13th year]...
there needs to be a clause that comes after what you wrote.
as in: "kotoshi, 13 sai ni mukaeru kiki ha kyou houki ni noreru you ni narimashita."

Yep, that is better. All good now. I forgot that some verbs can be used like that ^_^;;
