Now using Google translate for EI, means NOT - Finnish detected automatically however, in the Dutch language it means EGG.
What makes matters worse is that Bing is saying EI means DOES - once again Finnish detected automatically - while still meaning EGG in Dutch.

an ongoing mystery, that is. also a "33" beer from Vietnam:
Ba Moui Ba, (Vietnamese for Thirty Three) or '33' Beer
This Danang-brewed golden lager was produced by France's Brasseries et Glacieres Internationales, until the plant was nationalized after the fall of South Vietnam in 1975. After nationalization, Vietnamese-made beer was excluded from most major export markets other than Japan for years, and the French continued to produce 33 outside Vietnam under worldwide license. The Vietnamese beer became known as 333 (or "ba ba ba"), and the 33 vs. 333 dispute plagued Vietnamese brewing for decades. Heineken's Saigon Brewery Co. now produces "33".
So why was the beer named "33" in the first place? Without being certain (because who can ever tell what any Frenchman thinks) here are some interesting guesses:

- Average consumption of beer is about 33 gallons per person per year (based on persons over 18 years of age).
- The 21st Amendment abolished Prohibition in the USA on 5 December 1933.
- The French Brewmaster had 33 mistresses.
- Beer tastes best at 33 degrees.
- The beer is brewed at 33 degrees.
- 33rd Degree is the highest level status attained by Freemasons.
- 33 is a lucky number in the Chinese I-Ching philosophy.
