Question
Hihi, my friend looked down on me when i don't know what 'le nodecardio thy son of monte cyisto' is. I'm really interested to know what that means and what language is it, and also interested to learn more about this language, hope you will answer my query soon! Thank you very much.

Answer
Hello,

'le nodecardio thy son of monte cyisto'” is very strange.

Maybe you misunderstood the words of your friend who most likely said:
“The count of Monte Cristo” which is the title of a novel by Alexandre Dumas the Elder, a French novelist born 1802- died 1870.

Monte Cristo, which  is the name of an Italian island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, opposite Tuscan coast, means “Mount Christ”.

As for “le nodecardio”, the word ‘nodecardio'  is neither Italian nor Latin nor Greek, while ‘le' is an Italian  article,  feminine plural,  meaning ‘the'.

Bye.
Maria
