You sms me to say that you desire for me. however when i come, you never save abit of time to meet me. Really sad.

nhin = save
chuc = little
thoi gian = time

Ah, thanks KangTuo. I kept on thinking khong nhin was " could not see".
Also, may i ask what is "wua"? Is it HCM dialect? In this sentence, wua has 2 meanings?

Wua should be some sms lingo

I think the 1st Wua mean "come over" "cross over"... actual vn word is "qua" .it pronouce as Wua ...
--> tui wua thi a kg = I come over yet u dun ......

e.g em qua singapore gap anh = I come over singapore meet u...

the 2nd wua in "Buon wua" = Buon qua (very sad)...qua = very, and it pronounce as "wa" or "wua" so sometime u will see vn ppl sms in "wa" or "wua"

e.g Met qua ("wua") = very tired
Mat Qua("wua") = very expensive:D

I just half guess la. It should be "It is not permitted to bring any kinds of wine and beer inside the premise of the shop"

pham vi = 範圍
moi loai = 每種

Sometimes it is easier to translate by using Chinese!

I also want to ask few questions. What is the meaning of the following sentences?

1. em se lay bang so tien anh gui em
ah ma anh khoi tra chi em cung duoc

The background is that I sent a girl some money, but she hasn't received it yet.

2. luc nay luc khac
3. anh che em kia
4. that su neu co ai that su yeu em

Thanks in advance!

Because I learn my tieng viet from this thread, it is time for me to have some contribution. Therefore, I am sharing one of my recent sms with you guys. I hope you will like it.

Thanks bro. I always admire you because your Tieng Viet is very good. These spelling errors you pointed out were actually made by the vb. It seems to me that they are not very good at spelling. Sometimes I challenge their spelling and they also get confused. :)

1). em se lay bang so tien anh gui em
ah ma anh khoi tra chi em cung duoc
I will take by(bằng) the money(tien) number(số) [reference no.] u send me.
but you don't give my sister also can.

ah ma =? :confused: or nhung ma?

2) luc nay luc khác : lit. luc nay = at this time, luc khac = at other (place). should be meaning "at other (place) now"

3). anh che em kia : U cover me over there. or u hide me over there

4. that su neu co ai that su yeu em ----> is it nếu or nên? cos translation sound funny :P
that su neu(if) co ai(who) that su(true) yeu (love) em
True if who will truly love me
