antonio carroccio Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Applause for Jim!!! Link to comment
gthyni Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Applause for Jim!!! 35765[/snapback] Hmm, Antonio, me and my itailian friend Simone agreed on: Vilket spektakel which in english should be something like What a spectacular show spettacolo is a noun, isn't it? Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 My Italian is mediocre at best and is often confused by my mediocre Spanish. Translated literally it means "That Show". I think for us poor street bike riders it means "I am sooooo fast it would make your head spin!". Link to comment
antonio carroccio Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 On the shirt of "the doctor" wasn't "che spettecolare" But "che spettacolo"........ 10 points for the best translation 8 points for the best nearby 5 points for the approximately answer a kick in the ass for a guess Link to comment
badmotogoozer Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Antonio,Jaap isn't there, but some sites don't like theire pictures linked. This is the picture 30597[/snapback] So that's Jaap!

gthyni Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Trouble is that languages does not always map that well that a word-for-word translation get the message through. I discussed it with Simone and Vilket spektakel is a very good match in swedish, but english is a bit harder since the meaning of the word spektakel (and spettacolo I guess) is a depending on context and to translate it to english you have to do some interpretation of what Vale really means by it. That on the other is not that easy since I think it choosen but be hard to intepret (it's a joke). Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 How come Rossi has "the Doctor"on the seat of his leathers and not "Il Dottore"? Has anyone asked Rossi what "che spettacolo" means? Has anyone asked him what time it is? Link to comment
