Thread: is this right?

does "а бифоре какой был?" mean 'and what was it before?'

help is much appreciated. :]

I think so...

Looks like someone is having some fun using “before” for раньше.

im confused then :[
can you explain a little better?
thanks :]

Believe us, we are, too.

There is no such word in Russian, that's all. The rest is only the author's imagination and maybe the context.

ok thanks for clarifying then :]

You know how you drive down the main drag of gigantic cities like San Francisco or Chicago and you see not one single Russian word? Then pop over to Russia and see several-stories high obnoxious advertising consisting of a lot of English words? Well you see the same thing here with бифоре. For some reason it is *really cool* to mangle your native language so you can look like a real clever dude who knows English. Конечно они скорее всего не знают, что каждый смсщик пишет before проще -- b4.
