rezaf Posted February 14, 2008 at 04:52 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 at 04:52 AM someone sent me this message:"我初十返沪再联系你。“ 1-Does she mean 初时？ 2-Is the translation "I will contact you as soon as I come back to Shanghai"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted February 14, 2008 at 04:55 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 at 04:55 AM The translation is - I will contact you again after I have returned to Shanghai on the 10th day of the first month of the lunar new year. 初十 means the 10th day of the first month of the lunar new year, i.e. 16.2.2008.

heifeng Posted February 14, 2008 at 05:10 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 at 05:10 AM translation for a massage awe shucks, I thought this was gonna be along the lines of do you provide happy endings and such massage terminology...That would have boosted the forums site hits. First red envelope monkey and now massage translation. But I guess I shouldn't be the one making jokes about spelling...unless I actually start spell checking my own posts which likely won't happen:mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

self-taught-mba Posted February 14, 2008 at 05:47 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 at 05:47 AM Ah shucks. With the question already answered and the ambiguity already removed the only thing that's left is for us Board pundits to do is speculate about the juicy thread that never was.

self-taught-mba Posted February 14, 2008 at 06:06 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 at 06:06 PM No worries. No one is laughing at your English. Just having fun with words. English is hard to learn and anyone that uses it that well already deserves a medal in my book. Please don't be shy about posting. Sorry if we offended you.
