    Default Anybody here speak vietnamese?

    So I just read Night of Thunder by Stephen Hunter, a Bob Lee Swagger book.

    I don't want to spoil anything, but toward the end he says something to a vietnamese girl.

    Trying to figure out what he said, tried to google an online translation site but nothing panned out.

    so if anybody can help translate the phrase, that would be neato.

    here it is:


    Can on co em. Co that gan da va su can dam cua co da cuu sinh mang chung toi

    found this by googleing the phrase on a site about the book


    I found a translation of the Vietnamese that occurs on page 235 – here it is:

    “Thank you lady! You was really brave and your courage saved our lives.”

    "Cám ơn cô em. Cô thật gan dạ và sự can đảm của cô đã cứu sinh mạng chúng tôi"

    "Thank you lady! You was really brave and your courage saved our lives"

    I just copy and pasted the whole sentence onto google. My GoogleFu > Yours

    wow, the machine gunner is outdone by the paper hunter!

    guess I should have thought a little bit outside the box.
