What Does Zimabu Eter Means?

Have you seen the movie, The Fourth Kind? If you have not, please check the movie out. Here is the official movie trailer :



There are a lot of discussions about the movie, especially on the meaning of the words "Zimabu Eter". These words are Sumerian, so it can be a bit mind boggling trying to figure out what it means. For a direct translation of the words from Sumerian to English, here is the link.

Check the movie out and do share your thoughts with me.

Peace be upon us all!

  1. Zimabu Eter,
    Those words has meanings in Kurdish language:
    Zim: means "Stop" in Hawramany kurdish
    A:if linked with the verb bu, means must be:
    BU:means "exist" in all kurdish accents
    Eter: means "from now on" in Sorany Kurdis
    So the sentence means: This guy or woman must stop from exisiting from now on.
