Thread: Help translating a word that's not in my dictionary

I received an email from a friend recently that was in half english and half russian typed on an english keyboard. For example, she wrote poka instead of пока. One word she wrote was zeluyu. I can't find it in my dictionary, so I'm guessing it's slang. What does it mean?

целую / (i) kiss / the whole (fem. accusative case)

Ok, that's why I couldn't find it. I was looking for зелую not целую. Thanks!

The Russians who learnt German often use z for ц in transliteration.

Sometimes people would use it for 'ж' and y for 'у'. I remember a girl once wrote on our school's Russian club forum 'ya shozy s yma'. And I'm like "что такое "шозы"? Shoes?"

Транслит must die. I'd ban everyone using it over the Internet.
