Oddly this term showed up in a competitors adwords advertisement.

It may be Finnish, or some odd African dialect.

I can't figure it out - maybe the WebmasterWorld crowdsource treatment might help?

Anybody?

Thanks,

According to Google Translate, it means "buy now."

YES - that's what I thought!

To use Google Translate, one has to know which language one is starting from.

What's the language?

I selected "Detect language" in the "Translate from" drop-down. :)

It's Finnish. Also, Google Translate can detect the starting language for the most part.

excellent - but little use for some of these other words

It's an anagram.

Rearranges to 'NY Toast'. Advert for toasted bread in New York, perhaps?

Hehe.

Or maybe it is indeed just in a different language...
