I got this in a PM from someone. I'd like to know what it means and what language it is.

If it is obscene (and I think it is) please PM the translation to me.

My awesome arsenal of translation tools that is the Sherlock Translator says that in Italian it means "tera but from fuda knows it koosa". That's the closest one that came to being completely translated.

Why would someone bitch at you in a foreign language?

Well if its a PM from a user here someone must know what it means. Without telling us you can check the senders profile and see if they listed a location, that may help.

My Japanese is a bit rusty but doesn't "watashi wa baka desu" mean "I am an idiot."? I'm pretty sure you were thinking "Anata wa baka desu".

Yes. Alternatively, you could use ahou. Depending on the region it might even be stronger than baka (kansai, anyone), I heard (I was in Nagoya).

It's from someone who PM'd me on http://www.thelincolnforum.net that I run. I'm going to ban him if the translation is something obscene.

I honestly don't understand why people think it's funny to advise others to call themselves idiots in Japanese, or any other language for that matter.

koosa, hmm sounds like gibberish, but koos in Arabic/Hebrew means the female reproductive organ, in a vulgar way.

The italian translation comes up with this:
tera but from fuda knows it koosa
So I am still nowhere...

Spellings could be off.
