[QUOTE=jackbl;3893872]

my interpretation :

MAY CHO MA MAY DI BYE= You go give your mother...bye!!
QUOTE]

Have anyone thought that it could mean what i have translated as above??

Just my translation.....may be wrong....

Anyway, I have read in a book somewhere that the use of "may" is usually associated with an angry person or used in an angry situation.

I.E....(normal situation)

What do you want to do?
Em/Anh muon lam cai gi?


I.E...(angry situation)

What do you want to do?
May muon lam cai gi?


Example in our context.

What do you want to do? (normal situation)
你要做什么吗?

What do you want to do? (angry situation)
你现在到底要做什么?

I could be wrong here....just another view point......
