Translation: "Yes"	comment	While we commonly expect short phrases in one language to be equally short in another, sometimes short phrases are translated into surprisingly long ones: however, many shows parody this completely by having a single word become a long phrase in English, or a ridiculously long phrase to a single English word, often the word 'Yes'. This is mild Truth in Television, which is usually due to a language not having a precisely equivalent term for something, so the "translation" is actually more of a definition. An example is Zugzwang which means "a situation [in a game, especially Chess] where one player is put at a disadvantage because he has to make a move when he would prefer to pass and make no move" (from The Other Wiki).note Technically, the word's literal translation (in German) is simply "compulsion to move". Another example is (translating to Latin) immÃ³dica medicamenti stupefactÄ«vi iniÃ©ctio or "excessive injection of medicinal chemicals", though you probably call it an "overdose". This can also happen not because the language lacks a certain word, but because a non-fluent speaker doesn't know it and so is forced to talk around it, such as describing a bank as "the building where they keep money" (in linguistics that kind of Buffy Speak is called "circumlocution"). And then, of course, there are phrases which are short on the surface but whose referents require knowledge of some sort of cultural In-Joke or other bit of background context — for instance, Grammar Nazi* Which requires you to understand who the Nazis were and why using that term to refer to someone is an insult and Stockholm Syndrome* Which assumes at least a surface level of knowledge of a Stockholm bank robbery where the captives in a hostage situation allegedly developed a rapport with their captors against the police who were trying to rescue them. Related to Fun with Subtitles, which may overlap with Bilingual Bonus. Also related to Expospeak Gag, with the key difference that in the latter both messages are (technically) in the same language. Compare Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom. A potential cause of Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas. If this is actually happening in the story being presented when a conversation is being held through a translator, it may be because the translator is doing a Tactful Translation and thus editing and carefully rephrasing some of what is being said.

"Shimatta" literally means "done, but to a negative effect," and has the meaning of "drat!" or "dammit!". "Bakame" carries the meaning of "the damned fool" or "that moron!" It is not, however, an inaccurate translation: He's calling himself a screw up (spoken Japanese often drops the subject), which is actually pretty close to what "D'oh" implies anyway.

Translation: "Yes" / int_468bebb0	comment	Both versions are used a lot in Discworld novels. In Jingo, "Aagragaah" in troll literally means "der time when you see dem little pebbles and you jus' know dere's gonna be a great big landslide on toppa you and it already too late to run", but is more usefully translated as "forebodings". And according to Vimes, the Klatchian word "vindaloo" actually translates literally to "mouth-scalding gristle for macho foreign idiots". Trollish does a good deal of this. Granny Weatherwax has a Trollish nickname approximately translating as "she who should be avoided". Dwarfish tends to go in more for bad puns, or purely incomprehensible. "Sh'rt'atz" is Littlebottom's family name. "Littlebottom" is by way of being a Tactful Translation. The Nac Mac Feegles' "Crivens!" can be translated as anything from "My goodness!" to "I've just lost my temper and there is going to be trouble (for you)," depending on usage. It's actually a fairly stereotypical (mild) Scots swearword, so in the UK, it doesn't really need translation. The Librarian of Unseen University is a wizard who was transformed into an orangutan. He manages to get a lot of mileage out of the word "Ook". A Borogravian song mentioned in Monstrous Regiment is titled "Plogviehze!", which means "The Sun Has Risen, Let's Make War!" According to Vimes, "You need a very special history to get all that into one word." Equal Rites features the word "p'ch'zarni'chiwkov" used by the small tribe of the K'turni, which means: "The nasty little sound of a sword being unsheathed right behind one at just the point when one thought one had disposed of one's enemies" (in other words, the Oh, Crap! of a Post-Climax Confrontation), as well as the Cumhoolie word "squernt", which means "the feeling upon finding that the previous occupant of the privy has used all the paper". Happens a lot with the Agatean language in Interesting Times, as it's mostly an inflectional language. In the same book, it's mentioned that in various regions of the Disc "Aargh" can mean anything from "highly enjoyable" to "your wife is a big hippo". Also, one of the Silver Horde members uses the battle cry "P'charnkov!" which means "Your feet shall be cut off and buried several yards from your body so your ghost won't walk". In Making Money, Umnian is said to be an entirely contextual language, meaning that there isn't a single word that won't have a different meaning when used in a different sentence. Thusly the "Four Gold Golems" that the Golem trust had excavated and directed to Ankh Morpork turned out to be "Four Thousand Golems".. An interesting English to English translation, quite a bit of time in Unseen Academicals is devoted to an extremely long, flowery love poem from Trev to Juliet — both of whom are somewhat... less-than-literate. The message is translated, with the help of Nutt, from Trev's original, "I think you're really fit. I really fancy you. Can we have a date? No hanky panky, I promise" to said long poem. Of course, once Juliet gets it, Glenda has to translate the poem back for her. Naturally, she translates it as, "He really fancies you, thinks you're really fit, how about a date, no hanky panky, he promises." In fact Nutt had foreseen this, and the long version doubles as a poem from him to Glenda. In The Colour of Magic, the Trob equivalent of the word "remarkable" is "a thing which may happen but once in the usable lifetime of a canoe hollowed dilligently by axe and fire from the tallest diamondwood tree that grows in the noted diamondwood forests on the lower slopes of Mount Awayawa, home of the firegods or so it is said".

For example, the sentence "Oldthinkers unbellyfeel Ingsoc" roughly translates as "Those whose ideas were formed before the Revolution cannot have a full emotional understanding of the principles of English Socialism". From another angle, a major point of the language is, in fact, to obfuscate, or eliminate, the more complex thoughts. Given as an example, the passage from the American Declaration of Independence discussing equal rights and fallibility of the government could only be translated into Newspeak either with the single word "crimethink", or as an "ideological translation" that would reverse its meaning.

The message is translated, with the help of Nutt, from Trev's original, "I think you're really fit. I really fancy you. Can we have a date? No hanky panky, I promise" to said long poem. Of course, once Juliet gets it, Glenda has to translate the poem back for her. Naturally, she translates it as, "He really fancies you, thinks you're really fit, how about a date, no hanky panky, he promises." In fact Nutt had foreseen this, and the long version doubles as a poem from him to Glenda.

Translation: "Yes" / int_6a8aff51	comment	The Stormlight Archive: The people of the Horneater Peaks have names that are literally poems that unsurprisingly don't translate well, so they mostly use one or two word translations. The most prevalent Horneater character is named Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor, a poetic description of a rock his father found on the day he was born; he goes by Rock. This causes a bit of confusion when he introduces his family, as one of his sons is similarly named after a rock that Rock found the day he was born, leading to Rock awkwardly explaining that his son's name is ALSO Rock, but "a different rock." Likewise, he translates his wife's name to "Song", and one of their daughters is also known as "Song", although once again presumably a "different Song". This combined with Language Equals Thought in regards to speaking about nobility from other areas in Alethi. In Alethkar, eye color determines societal standing, and anyone in charge is a "Lighteyes". As a result, characters from anywhere where this is not the case are stuck using awkward terms like "lighteyes who don't have light eyes" where we would just use a word like "nobles".

Once when they had Malia Hosaka with them, whom Taka referred to as his girlfriend, instead of handing the microphone to Funaki at the end of his part, he handed it to her. It was the same voice as Funaki's translation, but with a higher pitch, still only saying "Indeed!"

It's also unskippable without mods, which is quite frustrating. Continued in the sequel Star Wars: The Old Republic, where NPCs can talk for almost a full minute and only say one or two words. These are, by and large, almost certainly unintentional examples since, at least in Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, there are only a handful of alien speech files that are used and reused for all aliens of a given species and gender. None of the alien speech is actually intended to literally translate to whatever the subtitles read, and is pretty much just to save on time and cost of voice acting.

Martinez, presumably just trying to simplify things, translated it as "No." Sipowicz got annoyed and said, "I know what 'no' is, 'no' is 'no!'" A similar situation occurs in the 2nd-season episode "Cop Suey." Kelly enlists the help of a detective from another precinct, Harold Ng, to find the killer of a cop in Chinatown. Interrogating the suspect, Ng briefly converses with him and tells Kelly he only said "No" to a question. When Kelly points out the length of their back-and-forth remarks, Ng relents and says the suspect asked him, "Why are you working with these white ghosts?", and was worried that Kelly would be offended by the remark.

He says a long, long phrase in Elvish. Subtitles: "Giggity". Peter recounts the family's history in a different episode, and tells them of one of his ancestors, silent film actor Black-Eye Griffin. A clip is shown of Black-Eye noticing some pie and visibly speaking for several seconds; the intertitle simply reads "That's pie".

Translation: "Yes" / int_eec5ab1	comment	In She Spies, a show that likes dragging jokes out, D.D. is teaching English to Icelandic workers. One of them offers her some flowers, and says "D'boi". The translation is an awfully long sentence expressing his love and gratitude towards her for teaching him, and later develops into a hint of romantic feelings for her, ending on a sad note about how she would never love him back. She explains that she just wants to be friends, and asks if he can't understand that. He answers in a long sentence, the translation of which is "no". Bonus points for a few dirty-sounding words in that long answer that strongly imply that he'd like nothing more than to bone her right then and there.

Sometimes the interruption becomes the new name. Hence, Mount Nevermind. Inspired by the human race's gift for brevity, they began to shorten their proverbs (usually long enough to require several hours to quote one) to much shorter form, such as "A gear" or "hydrodynamics." This practice is said to bring tears of joy to the gnomish elders, awestruck by such skill in verbal shortform.

His power-speak tends to be rather verbose, even eloquent, when translated, and usually prompts a reaction along the lines of "He said all that?!" A similar case was shown in one of the PairPuri fanbooks of The Prince of Tennis, where Kabaji Munehiro answered questions with only "Usu" (basically, "Yes"), and the other "power players" understood his answers as complex statements, while the reporter interviewing them all was clueless as to what was being said.
