<< review queue entry 43358 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> it's not a single word, but a short phrase, dog + fuck + grammar particle that makes this a noun/adjective (sort of like 要饭的 means "beggar" but 要饭 on its own means a completely different thing), 的 is necessary here, sort of like in the phrase 狗娘养的 which we do have with the 的. if you just leave 狗日 then it means "dog fucks"... fucks what? heh also, I think 'damn' would be a nice way to translate it in English. it just basically means 'damn/fucking'. like in the popular exclamation 狗日的小日本儿 see: Niubi!: The Real Chinese You Were Never Taught in School (by Eveline Chao) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese_profanity etc Editor: 1) Why delete "or spawned"? Your reference "Niubi!" says ~ 狗日的 son of a bitch (rude). Literally, can mean "fucked by a dog" or "born of a mother fucked by a dog" 2) "的 is necessary here"? Doesn't seem to be: "狗日小日本" = About 1,820,000 results (verbatim) e.g. "盼望9.18.国耻日给狗日小日本一个狠狠的教训" 3) "if you just leave 狗日 then it means "dog fucks"... fucks what?" Dictionaries normally don't include 的 in adjective headwords, even when they are formed from a noun + verb (like 人造). I'll put in a submission to change the entry for 狗娘养的 4) "damn"? I think "damn" would be too weak, and could be confused with the exclamation "damn!" 5) "fucking"? That's less specific than "lousy, fucking ..." ("fucking" may just express coarseness, whereas "lousy, fucking ..." expresses contempt) coarse use of "fucking" ~ "Shit happens but it would be easier to take if she dropped the fucking phone and picked the kid up." "lousy fucking" expresses contempt ~ "G**** W B*** is a Lousy Fucking Traitor. That's right! I said it! This madman with his delusions of godhood is well on his way to destroying all ..." |
