That makes no sense in Samoan...but I'll try my best..."mea malosi lava le aka lea fai" could be translated to "this film playing is pretty strong stuff"...Makaai=??...Fa'You=no such Samoan word. Lemu=slowly/lightly. Soifua=farewell. So putting it all together, you can see that it makes no sense...

I think you mean, mean.

Shortened

I think the translation might be ''O oe ete valea ''.

Since the daily and weekly counts of cases and deaths from the swine flu, which were initially required by the CDC, WHO, and national health departments of most nations have stopped since the pandemic was declared over, there is no way to know how many now. One reason is there are still ongoing cases scattered around the world even as of fall 2012. Another reason is that it was a burden on the reporting entities to try to track and report the numbers. And a large portion of people who had swine flu had mild forms and did not go to the doctor. Their cases could not be counted. And, if no lab test were done to confirm the specific type of flu, there is no way to know for sure if each case should be included in the count or if it is another type of flu.

The treatment is the same as for other types of flu, so there is no real medical need for testing to determine what form of flu someone has in most cases. For this reason, there is no definite count possible on cases of this type of flu any more.

"Ou te alofa ia te oe uso" if a guy is saying it to his brother or a male relative or any male.

"Ou te alofa ia te oe si o'u tuagane" if a girl is saying it to her brother or a male relative.

They are the same in that Samoans in American Samoa and Samoa (once Western Samoa) have the same heritage. However, American Samoa is a US territory while Samoa is an independent nation. So they are in effect two different countries.
