    Я ЕСТЬ потому что мы ЕСТЬ. Чтобы были МЫ -- ЕСТЬ Я.

    Although it appears pure gibberish to me.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    I don't think so. The first phrase does, I suppose. But I've yet to hear the verb "to we are" in the English language. It really sounds like some Engrish to me...
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    That's why it's in quotation marks. This person wrote: In order to "we ARE"--am I.

    It works, I think, although "That we may be, am I" would probably be better.

    I don't think Shaka, king of the Zulus, spoke good English

    Thank you a lot. In Russian it sounds better .

    //added: //
    Maybe this sound better:
    Sushchestvuju, potomu chto my sushchestvujem. chtoby my sushchesvovali - sushchestvuju ja.
