Can you trust the process....
in another language?
The more obscure the better. And any language that has the word "old" in it would be great as well. Bonus points if someone actually knows with good, human, certainty that their translation is correct. (Unlike the ones I used for the site banner, which were just off of babelfish and are probably wrong.)

Swahili I think
Did it on Google Translate about 10 mins ago. The Spanish I did know without using Google!
"I'll take some Coco with that please"
wouldn't it be something like
confiemos en el proceso?
I think dayton’s original quote was sorta directed to everyone in particular, in an imperative sense, right?
There would need to be some conjugation of the verb
Confiar is the infinitive. I’ll just wait until Juancho happens by.

Confiar is infinitive
But as a random statement “Trust the process”, wouldn’t the infinitive be most appropriate instead of the command? Wouldn’t command be “Confia en el proceso”?
"I'll take some Coco with that please"
you might be right
how do they usually have verbs in latin or spanish when we’re just talking about phrases/random statements? you may be right
Nope ...
… That is the indicative form (actually there is an accent on the i, confía) in the third person singular or 2nd person singular formal. IOW, you are stating a fact, so that statement would translate as, depending on the context, “You are trusting in the process.”, “He/she is trusting in the process.”, or “You/he/she do trust in the process.”
To convey that as a request instead of a statement of fact, it would have to be in the subjunctive, “confíen” the 3rd person plural subjunctive.
“Confíen en el processo.” – that would be a request to trust in the process.
++++++++
But I still think that might miss the mark, because Dayton’s statement to “Trust the process” isn’t a simple request, but more of a command. I’m not sure that sense of command is conveyed by “Confíen en el processo.”.
Perhaps a better translation might be “Hay que confiar en el proceso.” – literally, “one must trust the process”.
+++++++
Expressing obligation and preferences in Spanish are minefields for native English speakers. I’ve been learning Spanish for a couple of years – i.e., enough to be dangerous. But I’ve also learned enough to know that something that is a polite request in English will often register an imperious and haughty command in Spanish if translated literally.

"imperious and haughty"
That pretty much sums up Royals FO and management’s attitude toward the fans – so that’d be the translation we’re looking for.

yea...
didn’t he originally say, “let’s just trust the process”
when you think about, it’s a pretty complex statement
lets=us/we, but he didn’t totally mean “we” in terms of meaning, because he already trusts the process
he basically said, “you all should trust the process”
you could go a few different directions
Referencing above ...
he basically said, "you all should trust the process"
That is also an impersonal “you”, not a specific you.
As I suggest above, this might be rendered with “hay que” + infinitive, which expresses impersonal obligation – “one must …”.
I've Always Taken
It as a simple command with the implicit “you”.

I’m pretty confident this is correct, though the expression is pretty idiomatic in English
I thought the German version would have sounded more authoritarian
Making the verbs the first and last thing in the sentence usually leads to this result, so maybe it is just that “trauen” is a weak sounding verb

Several ways to say it
“Confía en el proceso” – third person familiar singular imperative
“No confío en el proceso” – “I don’t trust the process”
“El proceso es una puta mierda” – “The process fucking sucks”
“Me cago en los muertos de Dayton Moore” – “I shit on Dayton Moore’s dead ancestors”
“Qué le den por el culo a Dayton Moore” – “May Dayton Moore be buggered in the ass”
“Dayton Moore folla con cabras” – “Dayton Moore fucks goats”
“Me gusta el pan, me gusta el vino, me gustaría ver a Dayton colgado de un pino” – Children’s rhyme. “I like bread, I like wine, I’d like to see Dayton hanging off a pine tree”

Oops, I got the right form but called it the wrong thing
“Confía en el proceso” is SECOND person singular familiar. “Confiemos en el proceso” would be “Let’s trust the process,” which I think is closest to Dayton’s original meaning. “Creamos en el proceso” would be “Let’s believe in the process,” which is more idiomatic in Spanish, as “confiar” isn’t really a very common word.
It’s almost the same thing in Catalan: “Confía en el procés.”
Things you can yell at Yuni and Guillén from the stands next season, just to make sure they get it. They all more or less mean “asshole” or “dickhead”:
“Pendejo” – pubic hair
“Hijo de puta” – son of a whore
“Chupapollas” – cocksucker
“Cabrón” – cuckold
“Cornudo” – cuckold
“Capullo” – dickhead
“Maricón” – faggot (not PC, I know, but very Spanish, and this is already a non-PC post)
“Pajillero” – wanker
“Eres una mierda” – you suck, literally “You’re a piece of shit”
“Díle a tu madre que he dejado mis calcetines bajo su cama” – Tell your mother I left my socks under her bed
It's pronounced Poo-ZHOLS in Catalan.
Oh, here's one they actually use at soccer games
“Qué malo eres, Yuni, qué malo eres” to the tune of “Guantanamera.” It means “You’re terrible.” Obviously, you can change the name of the person it’s directed at.
Now imagine 100,000 crazed Barcelona fans screaming that at you. Especially if you’re the ref. Home-field advantage is a very intimidating factor in soccer.
It's pronounced Poo-ZHOLS in Catalan.
Mexican Spanish has an all-purpose profane emphasizer
“Pinche.” You can put it before any noun. Its approximate strength is “goddamn”; it’s not as strong as “fucking.”
So you could call Yuni a “pinche pendejo,” meaning a goddamn asshole, or shout “Eres una pinche mierda,” meaning you really suck.
Spain’s equivalent is “puto,” derived from “puta,” whore. It’s stronger than “pinche.” You could shout “Puto cabrón” at Guillén, meaning “Fucking cuckold.” That would probably offend him.

No, it's not idiomatic
First off, it’s always “tu puta madre,” because when you’re calling somebody’s mom a whore you generally don’t use the respectful form. That’s generally used as an insult on its own: “Farnsy ganará diez partidos esta temporada.” – “Tu puta madre.” = “Farnsy will win ten games this year.” – “Yo’ mama.”
I’d go with “Me cago en el puto proceso de mierda.” That is, “I shit on the fucking shitty process.”
Or “Me cago en la reputísima madre de Dayton Moore.” = “I shit on the most whorish mother of Dayton Moore.”
You could say, “La puta madre de Dayton Moore es una zorra guarrisíma sifilítica.” That is, “Dayton Moore’s whore mother is a filthy syphilitic slut-bitch.” If you actually said that to Dayton, he’d be honor-bound to shiv you, at least if you were both in the same prison.
Here’s the fun thing: In Spain, the expression “de puta madre” means something like “kick ass” or “fuckin’ A.” “¿Fuiste al concierto de AC/DC anoche? De puta madre, tío.” = “Did you go to the AC/DC show last night? Kick ass, dude.” One must be careful.
It's pronounced Poo-ZHOLS in Catalan.
De nada.
I figure I should add some non-profane things people can yell at Yuni, in case they don’t like swearing or have little kids or something.
“Imbécil,” “idiota,” and “estúpido” are pretty self-explanatory. “Tonto” means a fool or a dope. “Eres malísimo” is “You’re terrible.” “Vuelve a casa” means “Go home.” “Torpe” is clumsy. “Lento” is slow. “Perezoso” is lazy. “Busca otro trabajo” is “Look for a new job.” “No sabes jugar” is “You don’t know how to play.” “Vete a Omaha” is “Go to Omaha.” “¡Abajo Fidel Castro!” is “Down with Fidel Castro!”
It's pronounced Poo-ZHOLS in Catalan.
The most heartfelt curse I've ever heard
is from Catalan. Spaniards are an extremely foul-mouthed lot, and the Catalans are probably the worst. It goes: “Em cago en Déu, en la creu, en el fuster que la feu, i el fill de puta que va plantar el pi.” That is, “I shit on God, on the cross, on the carpenter that made it, and the son-of-a-whore who planted the tree.”
Catholic countries use a lot more religious motifs when swearing than English does. “Me cago en” is “I shit on,” and in colloquial English it means “Fuck (this).” So people go around saying “Me cago en Dios” or “en la madre” (referring to the Virgin Mary) or “en todos los santos” or “en la hostia.” All the time. Spaniards can’t talk without cursing.
Oh, one thing. Catalan isn’t a dialect of Spanish, it’s a separate language. It’s about as different from Castilian Spanish as Portuguese is. The classic sentence demonstrating the difference is “I want a ham and cheese sandwich.” Spanish: “Quiero un bocadillo de jamón y queso.” Catalan: “Vull un entrepà de pernil i formatge.”

I know this subthread is proceeding off topic from "Can You Trust the Process ..."
… but since that’s OK with the mods I’ll continue.
Juancho – these few posts have provided some of the best information on Spanish invective that I’ve read. I don’t want to know Spanish invective to use it; I’ve heard enough non-native English speakers sounding stupid trying to curse in English to realize that I should never attempt that myself in another language.
But a student of a language still needs to be familiar with invective to know when it is being used and to avoid using it inadvertently. You’ve been a help.
Years ago a very dear friend of wife’s was studying American Sign Language to become a teacher of dear students. She was a very modest and proper girl, and told us one time that she was a bit put off for having to learn how to swear in ASL.
But, as she said, she did need to know it so that she could react appropriately if her students were using it.
by Steve Nelson on Feb 6, 2010 12:46 PM EST up reply actions
Precisely. Excellent insight.
I recommend to all my Spanish students of English that they learn the bad words but not use them themselves. If somebody says, “Gimme yer wallet, motherfucker” while sticking something in your back, you’d better know what he’s saying. And you’re not going to understand many Quentin Tarantino movies, either.
But it’s difficult to know when it’s appropriate to use taboo words in a foreign culture, so it’s better just to avoid doing it. The worst thing they’ll think of you in that case is that you have good manners.

One of the most interesting things I've seen
was once when my parents were over here and there was a family dinner. My wife’s cousin is a sign-language interpreter, and my mom (before she retired) was a special-ed teacher who knows some American ESL. My mom knows no Spanish or Catalan, and Anna, the cousin, knows just a little English.
But both American ESL and Spanish SL are derived from French SL, while Britain has its own SL. So my mom and Cousin Anna were able to talk just fine, with the aid of a few words that are similar in spoken English and Spanish. Fascinating for people studying communication. I should have videotaped it.

the most insane thing about morse code

That clapping thing that people universally do at sporting events is Morse Code, isn't it?
I tried to confirm this with teh interwebs just now, but couldn’t find it…
“73” is a common abbreviation for “best regards” and comes awful close. That would be: -… …-
But what people clap in the stand seems more like: -… ….-

…but you’d know what I’m talking about if I could figure out how to say it.
I’m talking about a rythmn that people clap at highschool football games and whatnot… I remember learning somewhere that the rythmn comes from Morse Code, but clapping rythmns are pretty difficult to convey on a message board.

See? Hard to express.

Norwegian is fun because they have two different official dialects: Bokmal, which is more urban, more literary, and more traditional, and Nynorsk, which is used in more rural areas and by Norwegian nationalists. They’re apparently mutually comprehensible, and the one you use depends on what your parents used, and your own choice.
