I was engaged in card games online and one guy said to another:
pes mou mono oti paizeis apo thn korea.
It was only me and another woman engaging in card games and they were spectating.
Im not sure if it is spanish, it maybe greek or some other language.
I have a feeling it's not nice.
Thank you in advance if you can help me.

Hi seeke! Welcome to the forum!
definetely, it's not Spanish. It may be Greek!

ScottJ · 06-17-2008, 06:49 AM

It's definitely Greek...as for the meaning, I have no idea.

Wilfredo · 06-17-2008, 08:01 AM

I went to Google translator, set it from Greek >> English, didn't do anything. Set it to "Detect language" >> English and it said "We are not yet able to translate from Malay into English."

But Google can lie...

First, the words "mou", "apo", and "thn" ("ten" is how it sounds) are all Greek words. Hopefully someone familiar with modern Greek can come in and solve this mystery!

Second, Noemy, please post that in the appropriate thread...thanks.

Sorry, I think you're supposed to make a seperate topic for that.

I don�t think these Greek words mean anyrhing offensive. In fact I think they relate to some game or competition (maybe olympic games or something related to soccer". Let's see if somebody can solve the mystery

Best regards

The problem is google translator only works if you write the Greek characters

This has to be someone that can recognize the sound, any Greek speaker out there?

wow what a letdown, i was expecting something else.
