Can someone translate this for me? :)

I got this message from friend who likes to use Leet:

:-:3../ 1_()]v[. I>()3y3/v6 |=3y3/v3.

1_()../3 ../()(_)

the answer may be embarassing...

 

Oh my god how can you understand that??

 

5 yup the answer to that math problem is 5

haha... this is my second time see int it.. and I have no idea how to interpret
who would write such things?

 

is that a math problem or just some chars written there?

 

a very deranged person

 

The characters are somehow supposed to represent letters.

 

I found a Leet translator, but it only converts one way.

 

I've used several converters...but the output ....still doesn't make sense.

 

wow your friend has a lot of free time....
i have no clue what it says

 

chars

Leet is substituting certain letters with symbols or numbers

ex:
leet = l33t

 

i got that... for example... he says something about: 3y3, this means 'eye'

still can't figure it out

 

(She) says........ha! this may help with the interpretation. 'eye' would be logical or maybe it's "I"

 

here it is again so I don't have to keep scrolling up:

:-:3../ 1_()]v[. I>()3y3/v6 |=3y3/v3.

1_()../3 ../()(_)

 

that is either broken l33t or it contains wrong spaces

if you really need to know, manually put each sec

 

Maybe this is the way they 1337 speak in... Korean

 

Well there's really no urgency to figure it out....except to keep my sanity...kidding.

 

you could post it in myspace bulletin and someone will answer for sure haha

ps: my 1337th post

 

ok, i think i found a crack: |=3y3/v3 means FINE

explained:

|= -> F
3y3 -> eye -> I
/v -> N
3 -> E

 

"Hey I'm doing fine"

1st line?

 

Yes! Now we're getting somewhere!
