Hallå där, e du på gång ikväll heting? (I used some slang so u cant fit every word directly into a web translator, haha **thinks Im sooo smart  ) hope its not to hard. ill drop a hint here and there if needed. *hint, its a european language, duh, have fun u guys |

Well, the first part looks like a cognate for "hello, there"
Du is the informal second person singular in german, and this looks vaguely germanic -norwegian or swedish or some such?
Anyway, is 'du' you?
gang -could that be some form of the verb "to go"?
Hm.
I'll have to puzzle on it more later.

well I think the language is nordic, either norweigan or finish, perhaps swedish (lol, I covered them all, hehehehe)
lean towards . . . . finish
"hi there!! and how is it going today?!"
my guess

'e' as "and"? I could buy that. Goes with the spanish "y", kind of.

yea u seem to have nailed the parts I thought would be easiest to translate, still quite impressed. U r both right in the "hallå där" = "hey there" part. And hermy, du means you as well . now since Ive been using some slang I guess Ill can give up the language...... SWEDISH. My native lang Jtg, ur on the right track butt try to get it more.. verbatum, might be the right word. n hermy, witty to compare to german since swedish have many words borrowed from german, english n france. keep it up, hint* A guy would say this to a girl or vice versa. |

On the web browser I'm using now, I can see them, but I can't write them.
Hm, so "e" wasn't "and", huh? And "gang" had nothing to do with "gehen"? I mean, "To go"?

you can copy and paste them, but they are trickier for us to write.

We can quote it, too.
So far, we have:
"Hello there, _ you __ ____ ______ ____?"
hm. Is "e" a form of "to be"? as in, "are", maybe?
Okay, I guess we can't quote it. It appeared above the reply box, like it should, but then it didn't show up later. Weird.
Potter? Help?

No, I gave up the answer in my last post, no hint. I suck at explaining things  btw, Veela, is ur avatar a magic card by any chans? It looks familiar somehow n I seem to remember a magic card that looked like that from when I played. Visaru |

It is a magic card -you played? When? What edition was coming out when you quit? I played up to 7th ed, sporadically... Although I disagree with Veela. Rebecca Guay is a good artist, all right, but my favourite was Quentin Hoover! |

I like Quinton Hoover, but I prefer Guay's sketchy and free flowing style.

Do you like Richard Kane-Fergusen, too? (I think I spelled that wrong...)

That card is Angelic messanger from Urza's saga.
1W
1/1 Flying
T: Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn
I've stopped playing... Just after mirrodin(I detest what they are doing with artifacts), but I still have all the older ones from fourth ed on memorized.

You've got most of some of the earlier ones memorized, too, as I recall! Hey, Potter, be a dear and go post a character in the DC Char Contest. You can use any you created... |
