r u still available

兰颜知己 · 发表于 2009-3-30 13:36

ask for help on MSN, it's around lunch time, not sure if he is still there, so asked:

- r u still available?

got:

- no, i'm married.

LOL, I know he is teasing me, but can I use this sentence to check someone's status?

tks.

最好别用，以免引起别人误会。
there are many kinds of expression you can use like:
Are you still there?
Are you still on line?
......

If you say, "Are you available at this moment?"

They won't have chance to tease you. I think

If somebody says he or she (normally he) is a MBA, maybe he is teasing you by meaning Married But Available.
BTW, I'm not a MBA.
