My brother is faced with a translation challenge and since I am good with languages (he thought it was turkish...) he asked my help for this:

zhù nǐn zhōu mò kuàilè

Obviously not turkisch, german, spanish,italian, english or french which I could get along with somehow. Google searches point me towards chinese, but I've tried several online translators and no match (the last word could mean happiness, not sure).

Anybody here has a clue?

Google Translate can't seem to do anything with it, but it does offer auto-correction suggestions in Korean and Chinese.

Looks like Native American to me - First Nations though which one...

Hi Thomas,

Your brother must already have found out what it means but since there's no update here I'll have a go if you don't mind..

It's Mandarin, also known as High Chinese for some reason.

First the correct writing:

zhù nǐn zhōu mò kuài lè

It can mean all of the below:

"Ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wohenende / Tag"
"Hope you have a nice weekend / day"
"Wish you much happiness at the weekend / in the day / at night"
"Live happy at the weekend / in the day"
"Have a happy weekend / day"

And here are the meaning of the words:

zhù = wish ; live ; hope, have ; haben; wünschen
nǐn = you (singular); Dir
zhōu mò = (at) weekend ; wochenende ; recorrurring time; day; night; time as concept; infinite time....
kuài = happy; schön(es); handsome; elegant; beautiful; nice
lè = much; lots of; more; mehr; excess


This is what I came up with after studying some Mandarin in the last hour. I hope I was of help and I hope I offend none of our Mandarin friends.
