    Default A real Puzzler, Please help if possible

    Ok, well I got this as a text message, but my phone dropped all the accents... which I don't think would have helped me even if they showed up:

    t?i (th?) r?t d?oc g?y ?n tuong. D?ng, ban c? mu?i di?m nhung T?i c? mu?i ngh?n di?m hon ban.

    ?'s represent an accented vowel. The only words I'm sure of are diem (points) and muoi (ten)... but without any vowels I realize this is over and above a normal translation.

    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    Let me guess:

    Tội thế rất được gây ấn tượng. Đúng, bạn có mười điểm nhưng tôi có mười nghìn điểm hơn bạn.

    or Tôi thử rất được gây ấn tượng. Đúng....

    Tồi thế rất được....

    I am close enough...
    Someone eventually will help figure it out and translate it into English.

    Translation:

    It is a bad image! Right, You have 10 points, but I have 10 thousand points more than you do (I beat you badly!).

    suggestion: Ấn tượng = impression.

    Either translation now makes sense. Thank you both... I was starting to think I needed to give up on understanding this one.

    Thanks again Manh, I really appreciate it.

    I have no clue how you guys translated it to "bad image".
    It should translate to:
    "I am impressed. Right, you have 10 points but I (or someone names Tai) have/has 10 thousand points more than you"
