Hello!

Anybody out there who could translate this? (I presume it is written by a person from Kosrae)

Uh...greatly curious- where did it come from that you can only presume that it was written by a Kosraen? Did you find it written on the subway walls, or tenement halls?

Unfortunately, I can't help with the translation. My full range of Micronesian language consists of about 4 words of Palauan.

The text appear as a comment to a picture in one of my Kosrae albums at Pbase.
Got quite a few of comments from Kosreans before, but they usually are in English. Most of them are from Kosraens living abroad missing their island.

I would be surprised if there are any Kosreans visiting TT, but I just thought it would be worth a try.

Ah- this makes sense. Beautiful picture. Try sending the quote to Kosrae and see if you get a response. Use the FSM website.
