I wanted to ask does anyone know this language or what this means? (self.languages)

Hey so I recently heard this language when talking about important things like manipulating matter, rapid evolution and protest.

The word I could clearly make out was “Asef Ankay’. Does anyone know what this means or what language it is?

When you put that into Google Translate it seems to think that it's the Arabic equivalent of "Sorry about you." No idea if that's what you actually heard or what the context was.

@[email protected] آسف (Asif/Asef) is also a male name - I don't recognise the Ankay part* so maybe it's someone's name?

* probably my rusty Arabic, but perhaps an unfamiliar accent or bad transcription)

I was talking about the FBI putting people on a watchlist due to supporting the idea behind why the recent shooting happened. Then at the end I heard that. I’ve heard similar and possibly other languages when talking about rapid evolution, and more.
