Ban da doan duoc do la cai gi chua? Explanation: When trying to guess the content of an illustration. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-14 17:31:30 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Ban\" in Vietnamese language can\'t be as generic as \"You\" in English, since there are hundreds ways and situations to express \"you\" differently. However, in this case, my translation is based on the asker\'s given situation:\"When trying to GUESS the content of an illustration\". It would be more GENERIC to use \"biet\" in this case. Anyway, it doesn\'t change the meaning of the question at all. Let\'s our asker judge it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-14 17:33:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Ban\" in Vietnamese language can\'t be as generic as \"You\" in English, since there are hundreds ways and situations to express \"you\" differently.
