so i was txt msging a friend of mine who i hadn't talkd to in a while and i know they have my name in their address book on their phone so i don't know how this happened....
you know how when someone txt msgs the name of the person comes in so you know who it's from... well apparently my friend had lent the phone to someone else who had no idea who i was ...and to make it all worse even when my friend was given back the phone ..still had no idea who i was because in the txt msg area only the number comes up and my friend didn't recognize my number so the language confusion comes in -->here me: 'hey what's up' person who has my friends phone: 'i think you have the wrong number' me: 'no i'm pretty sure i don't but who is this anyways to be sure' person " " "phone: 'Halo apa kabar! Apa sih ini...Kamu jelek sekali nih... Aduh saya tidak mau bicara sama kamu lagi... Kamu orang bodoh dan kamu bau seperti kentut...' me: 'uh...' so i proceed to msg a friend of mine who might know what that said ...but alas my friend didn't. however my friend told me to reply back with: 'anata wa baka karou desu' which i found out means you are a stupid frog. can anyone translate the above aforementioned txt msg? |

The "anata-wa..." message is in Japanese. The other language looks like perhaps Hindi or another Indian dialect. Maybe Korean though, not quite sure. -------------------- I am too busy with all this dust and all these branches weighing on me

Strikes me as sounding more like one of the middle eastern languages.

Some of the words ("jalek" in particular) really hit me as Indian.

Eh, I dunno about particular dialects or anything like that, but it sounds pretty Middle-Eastern.
Good luck~!

or perhaps, they were being idiots and pretending to speak a middle-eastern language because they thought it was funny.....
it looks likely. -------------------- If I was a zombie, I would be back from the dead. As it is, I'm just back!

i dunno though ...it was my friend's girlfriend who had the phone and i'm pretty sure she's some kind of asian ...maybe korean or vietnamese...it could be japanese characters spelled out to how they really sound or something...i just would like to know what she said if she's gonna be so high and mighty and think she's so cool in confusing me
^side note: i didn't mean that to sound the way it sounded 'some kind of asian' were the only words i can think of....sorry |

I know it's not japanese, cos I speak that
 One of my first guesses was Korean, because I know a little bit of that. -------------------- I am too busy with all this dust and all these branches weighing on me

I tried doing it at http://babelfish.altavista.com/ but they didn't seem to make anything out of it when I hit "Korean to English", so I guess it can't be that. I tried all the others there, too, while I was at it, and they didn't come up with anything so it must be something else.... *sigh* Not much, I know, but it's a start....

i know it's not Japanese, and it looks much more Arabic than Korean, especially when you start saying the words outloud. Since none of the translation sites can translate it from Korean or Japanese or Chinese, my guess would be that it's either A.) gibberish meant to look like a language, or B.) an Eastern Asian language other than Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Thai.
I honestly think it's A, because if I got a text message from someone I didn't know, I could see myself doing just that to confuse them and make them stop messaging me. *shrug* -------------------- If I was a zombie, I would be back from the dead. As it is, I'm just back!
