hi pals,
i just got this text message in an unknown language (looks like korean):
Ayo maem han....
What do you think it means?
Thanks a trillion!
Korean doesn't use the roman alphabet.
As far as I know, the only asian language that uses our alphabet as standard (with tone marks) is Vietnamese.
In Vietnamese 'han' means 'verdigris'
For 'verdigris' I've found
1. a blue or green powder used as a paint pigment
2. a green patina that forms on copper or brass or bronze that has been exposed to the air or water for long periods of time
OR
'Verdigris'
A river, about 451 km (280 mi) long, of southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma flowing generally southward to the Arkansas River.
Can't find Ayo, but ao means.
noun
* Pond
verb
* To measure roughly, to measure approximately
o ao thúng thóc
to measure approximately a basket of paddy
