WTF is that?! Ukraine!

A gif from the movie "Lord of War". I've always been curious how such particular sentence would sound in different languages.

Merdier? A bit weird, but I guess you can say that. I'd rather say "merde" though.

Truth be told, I was looking for an equivalent of WTF in French, found this and decided to use it ("merde" seemed to me a bit too obvious, like "what kind of shit is that?"). If you type it in Google you'll find some situations it was used in. :wink:

"C'est quoi cette merde?" is surely the best way to say "wtf" in that context because unlike Spanish, Catalan, and Italian, it's ungrammatical to say "Que merde est"? "Merdier" is understandable, but it sounds so European to me and I'm not very capable of using vulgar slangs on the other side the ocean (I just understand them). In my Canadian dialect, I just say "c'est quoi cette marde/shit". "C'est quoi ce bordel?" is another way of saying it in Europe I think.

Overall, your translation is just fine to me. We all have our own preference of cursing after all! :P

If you want to do dialect translation, beware that coño is another very Spaniard word. :P People do believe that you can sound like a Spaniard just by adding the three magical c- words randomly: coño, cojones, carajo. I don't think the grammar is right in the second one, I guess it should be ¿qué mierda es eso?, though I'm only like 60% sure... Let's wait for our recently-come Mexican resident. :) I'm sure qué chingados would work great here at least.

Editing the Spaniard and Mexican Spanish. Adding Salvadoran Spanish. I guess I'm gonna be the day's punctuation nazi adding proper (Spanish) dialogue punctuation. The English would be <"What the fuck is that?!" "Ukraine!">, but who cares.

See, it's a bit hard for me because I have to balance out the more formal material I learn in the Latin American Spanish textbooks with what I hear in speech and music around me, and often times I can get confused because of loqu's corrections/plain influence to top it off >.< :lol: But I blame myself for the ungrammatical agreement, and yeah, let's just wait for motanz then :P
I know for sure that we use the word "coño" though. I'm hearing it all the time, I swear.

You don't need the "the fuck" equivalent in German as long as you put a strong emphasis on the word "das."

"Ukraine" is pronounced [ʔʊˈkʁaɪnə] or [ʔʊ.kʁaˈʔiːnə] in German.

Literal translations of the three "the fuck" translations I gave for German: "zum Henker" = "to the hangman" / "zum Teufel" = "to the devil" / "verdammt nochmal" = "damned again".

You can always ask for clarifications or ask me to stop correcting you altogether. Anyway I always correct you carefully because I know you learn Mexican, so every time I'm not sure of a correction because of its dialectality I just refrain.

In French I think you may also translate "C'est quoi ce putain de truc? - L'Ukraine"

C'est quoi ce merdier ? is perfectly fine to me. Ce putain de truc sounds like badly translated English to me.

But... the point of the translations forum is to translate a phrase into different languages (or give an equivalent phrase in a different variety of the same language), not to give a similar, but different, phrase in the same variety of the same language...
