    welcome! stick around, you'll like it!

    smiss: i think komosta is the eqivalent of the spanish "como estas" - for lack of spanish education, i can't be sure, of course.

    I think the literal translation would be more like "Thanks are not required", correct?
    Much more polite sounding than the direct translation. .

    i find some of jokes really humurous in English but when u do the translation to mandarin man it is
    really dull n make no sense ....
    i guess same thing from chinese jokes to english
    (could be childish n rude )

    language is magical thing
