    I don't think that chinese was mandarin which is the PRC "standard dialect" It should be: 圣诞快乐 or if your PC can't dispaly the characters: sheng dan kuaile Pronounced shung don qui loo My wife helped me with this one. She is in the know. Jeff Patterson Programmers speak in Code. http://www.anti-dmca.org[^]

    Nope, That was a Cantonese dialect, which most Chinese people in Malaysia use. I'm curious, how did you learn chinese?

      The amount of chinese that I know will just keep me alive. My wife was born, raised, and educated in Tainjin China. It is a small town about 10 Million people 1.5 hours south east of Beijing. She is the expert and when I didn't recognize the phrase I asked her. Jeff Patterson Programmers speak in Code. http://www.anti-dmca.org[^]

                  I think I got it.. :) I *think* my russian pronounciation is pretty good. I often mimic foreign words when I watch TV etc (when I'm not having company that is :rolleyes:). I think my spoken russian is pretty good! Unfortunately I don't understand the language, nor can I read the cyrillic alphabet. :( Anyway, Spatsiba! -- You see me driving down the street I look so f-ing good, yeah!
