Tiny translation please? :3
« on: May 17, 2011, 08:56:26 PM »
I bought some cute cat buttons for my friends and I need help translating one - I can't find any English equivalent on the interwebs. It says: 배째삼! and has a picture of a big, fat cat laying on it's back kind of going "PHEW".

Thanks for any and all help! :D

If it means what I think it does, it's really hard to translate. 삼 is an internet slang ending for 요 and I THINK 배째 means something like "sue me", so this would be something like "lol, so sue me." You want to check it with someone who knows more Korean, though.

Exact translation would be gut me. 배 is stomach and 째 is to tear in commanding form. Which can roughly translate into " if you have something to take from me, I'm not gonna give it to you" (so come and gut me and take it from me if you want it that bad) . But usually it's been said in playful joking way. So above person's translation as "lol sue me", would be correct.
