A colleague in Germany loves to send me emails in what I believe is a northern german dialect just to mess with me. Anybody care to help me out with a translation?

thanks in advance!

First attempt May 26, 2011

I don't speak this dialect, but I believe it's Bavarian. My guess is:

Hi Brian,
?? ?? ?? - thanks from my side and I'm doing well - I hope the same for you!
?? and many greetings

Soon a 'native speaker' will confirm or violently deny this.

In fact May 26, 2011

Pfiade May 26, 2011

means goodbye in Bavarian-Austrian dialects, also in the form "Pfiadi Gott" Not sure of its exact origin.

and oid will be alt - old. What a Bazi might be, no idea, but wonder whether it's related to Austrian Spezi, friend, mate

Bazi May 26, 2011

I found the following translation for Bazi:

Schlingel, Schlawiner (Du alter Schlawiner!). Something like 'rascal' in English:

Yes.. May 26, 2011

it´s some sort of Bavarian

And although I´m from there I cannot quite make it out, but I have a try

--------

Hi Brian

old (Bavarian) lad - thanks, I am good and my (Falie???) too (with a lot of fantasy it could be family, or possibly a name?) - hope you´re good/ok too.

Bye and Best Regards

---------

Führ dich Gott May 26, 2011

Pfiadi (Gott) - God be with you.
I don't understand what is so difficult with German dialects. On tv we have to listen to all kind of English dialects from Australia to Wales and Scotland.
Oh, I forgot, you view only synchronised programs.

Get a copy of Karl Valentin's movies and study Bavarian. An have a good laugh.

Actually, "Pfiadi" is "Behüt dich Gott" -> "May God protect you".
