Translation please: FUERA BUSH

[ucmike]

i've been seeing it in the protests in argentina. i did a web translation and it came back with "he was bush" or "it was bush".

i think its losing something in the translation or its a reference to some protest point i don't know about.

thanks.

1. FIRE BUSH

[tridim]

8. Watching the "news" I would have guessed it meant, "We hate America"

[Justitia]

19. Ain't that the truth? What a distortion! -eom

[BuyingThyme]

2. Fuhrer

[BuyingThyme]

4. As in Heil!

[DistressedAmerican]

[melissinha]

Distressed American is correct

[DistressedAmerican]

Kind of funny.

[melissinha]

26. yeah its pretty simple

but thats the nature of translation for ya, even the simplest of statements can be interpreted in a number of ways.

5. Someone earlier said it means "get out, Bush" or "away, Bush"

Seems to work in the context of the signs I've seen.

6. this help?

IT WAS BUSH

according to babelfish

24. beware the perils of babelfish, in knows not context

fuera can mean "he/it/she was", but that's not the context here.

here, it means "go away" or "go home" or "get out".

[Botany]

27. From the verb ir?

To go?

so is fuera the future tense of ir?

[unblock]

34. here, it's just the adverb "fuera", which means "out", similar to "afuera"

there is, i believe, a form of estar (to be) although my conjugation is a bit rusty. third person past perfect, i think.

damn, high school spanish was a long time ago....

[Botany]

37. Si estoy compendo

Que lastima Senior Arbusto - es un muy grande pandejo

[unblock]

[Kralizec]

7. I was wrong.

or was I?

I thought that it meant "Get out, Bush!"

Like get the hell out of our land.

[brainshrub]

9. Fuera means "Get out", but it's meant as a harsh rebuke.

As in yelling "GET OUT" at the dog after he piddles on the rug.

FUERA perro!


P.S.: Perro = dog.

[IChing]

18. It's as strong as "get the fuck out"

[brainshrub]

21. Yes, exactly. You don't yell "fuera" to be nice. It connotes urgency.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Yanqui go home

I thought it was a rude expression.

[gordianot]

12. CNN is downplaying role for Bush

Bush get out is a good sentiment.

[mshasta]

13. GET OUT BUSH!

FUERA= get da' fuck out!

[NJCher]

15. so glad you asked

There is a car that parks in the same lot at the university where I teach and it has a Kerry/Edwards sticker on the right side of the bumper and a "fuera bush" on the other side of the bumper.

[lpbk2713]

30. *Chupa arbusto* might have worked better.

[mtnsnake]

31. Where I come from, Fuera means

"fuck off, you beady-eyed pointy-eared lying little treasonous coward!"

[Joe Chi Minh]

32. Beat it, Bush! Scram, Bush! Sling your hook, Bush!

Or any of a number of expletives ending, ".... off, Bush"

[Joe Chi Minh]

33. Beat it, Bush! Scram, Bush! Sling your hook, Bush!

Take a powder, Bush! Or coarser injunctions along such lines.

[loudsue]

35. Literally translated, by the conjugation of the verb "to go", it

says "Bush Go" (their verbs go before their nouns, but I turned it around so it would make sense to English speakers.)

But IN CONTEXT (rather than literal translation) the signs are saying "bush go away". At least, that's what it says to Argentinians.

I lived in Argentina for 7 months. It rocks. It seriously rocks.
