Can you help me translate the following transliterated Russian phrase into English - "ja tak po tebe sosku4ilas..tut dage merewilos neskolko raz, 4to tebya videla"? Thanks in advance.

I think the gist of it is, "I missed you so much that a few times I thought I even saw you."

The 'merewilos' is throwing me off, though. My eyes can't see past the transliteration, and I keep thinking of flowering trees, and merrywidows.

Yes, that's the word that I couldn't get either.

Well, перевиться means to be "intertwined." Perhaps it was a typo in the transliteration?

It' not a typo. The thing is that letter "w" looks like russian letter "ш" (pronounced " sh").
So "merewilos'" means "мерещилось".

Ohhhhh...

That's why I hate transliterations. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Some creative translit schemes sunstitute "w" for "ш" or "щ". So it was "мерещилось" it the original phrase.

"merewilos" stands for "мерещилось"(from мерещиться - to seem), which means "it seemed to me"
So, the whole phrase is "I miss you so much...A few times it even seemed to me that I saw you"

[khathi.livejournal.com]

It's "I miss you so... Once it even seemed to me that I saw you"

Such strange scheme of transliteration came from sms where you want to save time on typing (and probably also to save money on less symbols too). So instead of "ch" we sometimes use "4" which looks like ч and instead of "sh"/"sch" we may use "w" which looks like "ш"/"щ". You can also see meet "9" meaning "я" though this one is quite rare (and strange even for me).

And sometimes people use "g" or "j" instead of "zh" ("ж"), like in your message (dage = даже).
