**livevip** · 03-06-2006, 06:46 PM

I decided to do that topic because, like me, he/she has a lot of people that doesn't know how to speak English.
Therefore, here, you can post some slangs, abbreviations, everything that a translating software doesn't get to translate.
Please, post here.
Thank you.

Ok, but do you want me to place some slangs in Portuguese or do translate the ones what you wrote for the Portuguese?

**Guttu** · 03-08-2006, 03:48 AM

Well translate the one which I wrote to portuguese
It'll help others who dunno english

Oh here again
dunno- Dont know

**livevip** · 03-09-2006, 03:59 PM

Ok:

IMO- In MY Opinin = Na minha opnião
OMG- Oh My God = Oh meu Deus
BTW- By The Way = A propósito
LOL- laugh over laugh = Gargalhadas

did I also want you to place, for instance, u = you, ok?

Example:

do you know how to speak Portuguese?

you or u = você or vc
know = sabe
how to speak = falar
Portuguese = Português

or be:

vc sabe falar Português?

Good-bye (Tchau or Xau)

Read bunch of english pocket books, novels or any publications if you wanna learn more about the english language. there are actually some websites that has a list of american slangs with meanings. i'll post it if i ever cross on it again.
