nekso Posted December 1, 2005 at 03:35 AM Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 at 03:35 AM Hi, I've came across a text with a bit that, I was led to believe, was chinese. This is part of the dialog between two people. It says: no nei.... 'bui sum' ar.... Now, I'd like to point out that I'm 100% ignorant in this matter so I don't know how silly is this question. I don't even know if it's possible to write chinese with the alphabet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumujerome Posted December 1, 2005 at 04:13 AM Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 at 04:13 AM no nei.... 'bui sum' ar... parallel to what in Mandarin is 拿你 ... "背心” 啊 We could only make an educated guess sans context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwood92688 Posted December 1, 2005 at 05:13 AM Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 at 05:13 AM There's no Mandarin (Putonghua) words that pronounced "no". 拿你 ... "背心” 啊 spoken in Cantonese would sound close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekso Posted December 1, 2005 at 01:47 PM Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 at 01:47 PM Well, the context is also dificult to understand. Its part of a dialog where one figures out whats the true identity of the other, and he asks: "are you x?" Thats the reply he gets. This is probably from Hong Kong, I don't know if that helps.

nekso Posted December 8, 2005 at 02:39 AM Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 at 02:39 AM Thanks for the help but can you tell me what does that mean? The characters by themselves don't help me that much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldc Posted December 8, 2005 at 03:07 AM Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 at 03:07 AM The problem is there's too little information to tell what it's about, it could be someone talking about a vest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
