Now I have my Youtube account set up so that "friend" comments are posted immediately, but if I don't know you, I have to approve your comment. This allows me to keep spammers and nasty folks from posting anything they like. What is this poster saying? Here is the video in question. You'll see it attracted a few negative comments, and I don't mind that - I just don't want ugly stuff up there, even in an obscure language! It looks tame enough - I just can't tell. |

"Réitím" (note the accents - for those who see them correctly given my lazy insertion!) means "I agree", or thereabouts. The usage is a bit colloquial - I reckon the sense is close to "Agreed" - " or "Settled -" . |
