whats the literal translation for 唉 ?? I'm sure it "sounds" like i but whats the meaning?
literally out of context, it means like "Oh!" or "ah!"
which doesnt make sense so think of it as wu san su ah! = 535 "AYE!" lol

Well the literal translation of 唉 is "alas" but we need to know more about where he lives and the specific dialect.

The real question is:
Does BMW use english numbers or chinese numbers??
Answer: There ain't no difference. LOL
Some of you guys really impress me--except for the few who do not know the diff between HK, China mainland, or probably Taiwan.
Most importantly, however, most here do like egg fu yung.
Seriously, I am surprised to see so many with travel experience(s) in the far east. Then again, many many moons ago, I was real familiar with Japan, including Wakkanai, Hokkaido, Kobe, etc.
Even climbed Mount Rishiri. I was based at Wakkanai, and once or twice a year, we would look across the straits and see the military barracks on Sakhalin. I would use the binoculars, and my peers would ask what I saw. My response: The Russians are looking at us with binoculars.
