good/bad character guys are one way to look at it.
how about guys you just don't like as nba players? could you be fans of theirs if they came to the knicks? what about forming of team of non-homegrown talent? does that take away from anything? |

^^ lol, yea, that is pretty funny stuff.
To understand the humor, the feeling, in that tirade you would have to be a native speaker of that language...there are no native speakers of that language that wouldn't die laughing after watching that clip...it's more funny than anything and it is not directly analogous to someone saying the same things in English..... the subtitles fail to capture the essence, as is often the case with subtitles.

Posted by jimimou:Posted by orangeblobman: I am serious. It is not analogous to someone saying those same things in English. If someone said that in English it would be horrible. In Serbian, it is different. And a native English speaker can't EVER understand the true meaning and emotion that Darko came with.

Posted by orangeblobman: Dude if you know exactly what he said and think the subtitles fail, give us your translation since it seems Darko and you share the same nationality. And even if you don't, give us your translation.  Knicks_Fan

Posted by Knicksfan:Posted by orangeblobman: The direct translation is pretty accurate. But the cultural differences prevent English speakers from understand the underlying meaning. For example, "jebem ti mater" is directly translated "f your mother", but 'jebem ti mater' is used almost colloquially in Serbian informal conversations while saying 'f your mother' in English is sacrilege. Another example is "jebem ti misa", or "f a mouse". No one wants to do that to a mouse, and saying this in English would be absurd. The direct translation is not always the one that captures the intended meaning. WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.
