10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[Daemul]

To be fair I've met CR 3 times now so I'm allowed haha

Pfft, pls go

 

[Caps]

Pfft, pls go

It was meeting him that made me dislike him Though of course I remain polite. My daughter has met Leo =(

 

[Flavia]

Not that it matters, we all get what he meant to say, but it meant shy. "You're too shy to talk to him." "Shame" would indicate he did something wrong.

I don't think "verguenza" can be translated as shy. There's another word for that. Embarassed, maybe?

what happened ?

Yeah verguenza could both mean shame and embarrassment depending on the context. In this case, the likely meaning was he meant his son was embarrassed when presented to Messi.

Verguenza could be translated as either shame, embarrassment, shyness, etc. In this case it's definitely about being shy. The kid was just nervous. Shame and embarrassment imply that he did something wrong or humiliating beforehand. Sometimes in translation you can't get 100% equivalence by the book, because languages don't categorize meanings the same way, but the meaning dictates what word you're going to use.

Pardon my eagerness, I'm passionate about my area.

I've never, ever understood how football fans can curse and hate people they've never met or spoken too, it makes no sense.

Haven't we all, not just football fans hated someone that we have never met?

Mostly the people on my ignore list.

If Messi wants to get his 5th ballon d'or, he'll really need to turn up this season.

We will probably see the biggest campaign for an individual award in history next season. There's no way the Madrid media won't use their influence to make sure Ronaldo ties Messi.

I admit it, I curse and hate Laurent Blanc. Hopefully he's not friend with the french governement, so I will not end up in prison for trashing him a lot on the internet

I think Messi will take it due to the Copa America.
