    Default Help translating text without diacritics

    Hi All,

    Received this SMS from a lady friend today:

    Anh cho em thoi gian suy nghi con roi em den o cung anh.

    And this is my best effort at translating it to "proper" Vietnamese:

    Anh cho em thời gian suy nghĩ con rơi em đến o cùng anh.

    However I'm still not sure if I've got it right, and well, given the subject matter I do want to be sure I've got it right

    Anyone care to help with a proper English translation?

    Give me time to think and I will come to live with you.

    Cám ơn vannessa!

    I got the first part right, but the "o" part has been throwing me off.. It just seemed a little too out of character based on the Vdict translation

    I'm guessing "o cung" must be a phrase/compound (as is "thời gian" and "suy nghĩ" right?), but I'm limited to web resources ATM and haven't had any luck finding a definition

    OK just found "ở" (making new discoveries every day!), and that all fits in properly given the overall context (I've offered for her to stay at my place)

    đến = come
    ở = to live
    cùng = together with

    Thanks again vannessa!
