There's no "but" or "and" in the Greek version.

Are we sure that this is about deleting somebody and not about squashing a bug or something?

I translated from Serbian, not from Greek, it was about deleting in the serbian version.

You don`t like ugly, but what do you suggest instead of?
Tiresome and boring are synonyms http://www.thefreedictionary.com/tiresome

There's nothing wrong with "tiresome", and "very" is the same as "so". I've never heard of "clunch", mideia, and I'd rather work with this version, since it was done directly from the Serbian. The Greek version may be wrong.

English correction:

I feel bad to delete you --> I feel bad about deleting you

But now the whole thing doesn't make sense in English. If she says she feels bad about deleting the other person, it means she feels sorry, but then she says, "You are very ugly", which certainly doesn't sound like someone who feels sorry, so I'm wondering if "feel bad" is the right phrase.

Could someone please tell us what "a" means and what "zao mi" means? Also, are there several possibilities for "ruzan"?

"A" may mean "and", may mean "but", depands.

"Zao mi je" is I am sorry. But there is some irony in that "i am sorry". Probably this is "I am sorry" to delete you,cause you are so tiresome and ugly.
"Ružan" is ugly, homely, ill-featured etc http://www.krstarica.com/dictionary/index.php?u=ruzan

In this case "A zao mi da te obrisem" (And I feel sorry to delete you) is a bit ironic. (S)he thinks he's boring and ugly but feels sorry to take him off the list. (delete or block, as you wish).

Ugly is just ugly, there's no other way to tell it.

Kafetzou, I suggested clunch after looking at a dictionnary. You're probably right, the greek one must be wrong. It doesn't say ugly, but without grace.I agree with Roller-Coaster :
Ugly is just ugly.I don't know why galka translated that way, and Cinderella probably didn't see it!That happens all the time!

I kow they are synonyms but according to the greek version it is not a word you would use in this phrase.
Same thing with ugly; i guess the greek one is wrong.

Reggina, please leave the decisions about English usage to the English experts. Tiresome and boring are equal choices here.

As for "And I feel sorry to delete you!", it just doesn't sound sarcastic in English. My suggestion: "And I'm so sorry to have to delete you." (no exclamation point)

To be honest, I still don't understand why the word "and" is in there twice. Maybe the Greek version was right to get rid of it.

Kafetzou i just pointed out that the greek version is probably wrong...i guess a greek expert will understand that better than you do...
