Hi all

My wife and I recently bought this political poster (North Korean).
Can anyone please tell me what the slogan says.

I hope that image posting works (i have never tried it before).

Thanks Jason

'Give me the order...'

Paraphrasing,
'Give me the order to do it and I'll do it.'
'Just tell me what to do, I'll get the job done.'
'명령은 나에게'

Thats not 4 its 나.

I couldn't read it but I put it through google translate Laughing

명령은 나 에 게 I'm not in command
명령은 나 에게 Command to me
명령 은 나에게 Command me

I like the first one but it is probably the last

While 명령 does translate as command, and command me is a good translation, I would round out the edges a little.

Give (me) the word!

In other words, we are ready to fight, just say the word (command).

명령 could be command, order, or assignment.
