Does anyone know what "Di nos e ta" means?

It's on my Balashi Banner

Thanks!

Hi Rob,
Traduced it means " It's ours "
It is a way to say our proudness of our own beer!
Hope you are doing fine. Your friend in Aruba.

Thanks to all....and thank you, Bully.

Our Balashi banner is proudly mounted in our back yard, by the pool, for all to see.....right next to the banner for "AWA".

In a few weeks, we'll have some family who travel to Aruba with us over for an "Aruba Reunion"...at which time I'll take out our last six cans of Balashi and drink a toast to Aruba.

Bully....We're doing fine, thank you, except for the weather. Other than 2 or 3 days, it has been nothing but cold and nasty here. It's beginning to look like we will have no summer at all. However, with a trip for Aruba planned for November, we at least have something to look forward to.

RobO, knowing how big your reunions are, i hope there are lots of kids, otherwise how are you going to stretch that little beer for so many people?

Isn't it just 5 cans with one saved for any unplanned pre-November emergency?

I think it more like one can at the time with 5 straws in it.....

I thought it meant to send your remaining Balashi's to ArubaMark. I could be wrong.

Yup, you're wrong.

I actually thought it meant...."goes well with Thresher Shark!".

Mark.....Did you see, our friend Bully came to rescue with the translation?
