What the statue creator was explain the Trump was brandishing a sword that represents the U.S. economy that he is using to lay waste to other countries (didn't say which) instead of missals . Rough translations of the words on the sword is F.U. but it's a play on words.
Actually....I believe that "F.U." in Italian is "La Funcula". But...my Italian is pretty rusty.
Regardless...President Trump should put that image on his website and send out a Tweet to announce it!
The Lefties will be scurrying for their safe spaces like roaches when the light comes on!
I rely on Libertas for help with my Italian But you could oil it if need be.
Yeah I dunno about that sword...the Goolag translator thinks it is Bosnian and says "lifestyle"...seems stupid to me but that's Goolag for ya.
As for Italian...most popular languages...I do try to learn all the naughty words, just in case...but I don't get to use them much and forget some.
But I thought that particular phrase was vaffanculo, si?
Anything with "La" in front is "The", maybe that one is like a "WTF"?
You're probably right! As I said, my Italian is pretty rusty.
I used to travel to Italy a couple times per year on business. I would stay for a week or two at a time but...that was almost 20 years ago.
It's a beautiful country and the Italians are a wonderful people.
Many Italians speak at least some English. My business partner there has two children (girls) and they start English Language classes in the first grade and it continues through out their primary education.
Most of them also speak French and German. It sort of puts our kids to shame in that regard....although...our school kids score the highest in Self-Esteem.
So...we've got THAT going for us!
I used to stay in Lake Como in Northern Italy. My partner's factory was/is in Corano which is outside of Milan. I used to take the train from Como to Corano and back each day.
A tip for travelers....outside of the usual touristy spots, men and women use the same public restrooms. That took a little getting used to but...after a few days, it becomes obvious that it's no big deal. Everyone "minds their own business". But still....for an American, it is strange to be standing there peeing in a trough in the floor and have some girl walk in and start washing her hands at the sink which is less than a foot away!
My longest stay in Italy was one trip where I spent 3 weeks there. It was weird when I started dreaming in Italian!
Another traveler's tip: IF you plan to visit there bring only black clothing...otherwise, you're going to stick out like a sore thumb.
