Come on! in Foreign languages and signs

[kungfusmkim]

I know there is Ajde, and Aller! and also the Vicht sign but are there any other ones? Just curious..

[Zhou]

vamos.....

[soyizgood]

Japanese: Sah ikoh!
Russian: Davai!

[ThePro101]

I know there is ... Aller!...


Allez (french - go)
Aller (to go?)

Not 100% sure, but I would use allez over aller... perhaps a true French speaker would help. (I'm only a part-timer)

[kungfusmkim]

yea your right allez would be lets go due to the pro nom Vous.

[kungfusmkim]

Japanese: Sah ikoh!
Russian: Davai!

Thanks soy thats relaly helpful. Any signs like vicht like that in like other foriegn languages?

[xr3fgb]

Mandarin: "Jia You!!"

[goober]

Ghetto: "You want some mo' beat down?"

[tzinc]

there is only 1 vicht! it translates into all languages!

[Buuurnz]

German: komm jetzt

[my_forehand]

Ow Ma Leauh!!

[Geezer Guy]

Down south: Com-On Y'all

[diegaa]

No naming please cause if you see where i live (Canada) your language becomes foreign to me... and most people here who post are north american. Their are astill large percentage of europeans on this forum BUT there are more north americans.. so dont call me egocentric

[kungfusmkim]

I just think it's funny that a Canadian, with French and English on every package in every store misses the spelling/conjugation of 'Allez'.

That's just funny, eh.

"Pame'' or ''Ela'' in Greek.

''Jaaaa!'' means ''Yess!" in Cherman.

[Hartzy]

Are these only positive things to yell?

Heiland Sach!: like Jesus Christ in Swiss German

This made me giggle, I have to say.

Well, I live on Curacao, I'm Venezuelan, go to a Dutch school (Curacao's in the Netherland Antilles, so yeah, that's how it works), speak fluent English (without accent) and get French at school.

Papiamentu: Ban! (I guess it would be pronounced "bahn")
Dutch: Not really sure what this would be, 'cause saying "Kom!" or "Ga!" just doesn't sound right. I guess just "Ja!" which is "yeah".
Spanish: Pretty obvious, I guess. "Vamos", "Si", though "Dale" is what I usually yell.
French: "Allez"

[SoBad]

If you are advised to wear black belt in bathhouse, what is the meaning of where around the clock you tie it? Please some Eastern understanding person tell me, because I am in confusion...:(

[slice bh compliment]

For using it, no worries.
For trying to make it his own, a little kicking.
For trying to copyright it and threaten others who use it with legal action? Well, yeah, I'm with you origmarm.

Not 100% sure, but I would use allez over aller... perhaps a true French speaker would help. (I'm only a part-timer)

they all have some similar sounds like below

yallah (Arabic)
yallah (Hebrew)
yallah (Latin greek)

[Dedans Penthouse]

In Finnish
(particularly useful to hollar when attending, e.g., a Jarko Neiminen match):

Perkele (per-kell-le) = "good shot"

Voi vittu! (voy-vee-tu) = "great shot!"

[hollywood9826]

In Finnish
(particularly useful to hollar when attending, e.g., a Jarko Neiminen match):

Perkele (per-kell-le) = "good shot"

Voi vittu! (voy-vee-tu) = "great shot!"

thats fine and all, but if neiminen was to play hewitt how would one say "Come on" TM in finnish?

[origmarm]

I believe the correct word is "Runkkari!" but I could be wrong. Dedans? :)

[Dedans Penthouse]

thats fine and all, but if neiminen was to play hewitt how would one say "Come on" TM in finnish?Actually hollywood, it's not fine and all. :-) "Voi vittu" is a no-no; it's pretty much the "F" bomb; voi vittu meaning "bleep this!" or "oh bleep!" while "perkele" is somewhat milder ("damn" or the 's' word). I'll address the "come on!" variations below.

[b]I believe the correct word is "Rankkari" but I could be wrong. Dedans?Nice try wiseguy! :-) Rankkari (as you know undoubtably know-lol) translates pretty much to "wanker."

There isn't really (my very limited "Suomi" i.e. Finnish aside) a standard "come on!" phrase. Some variations to consider:

tule! tule! = come! come!
mene! mene! = go! go!
jatka! = continue!

hyva! hyva! = good! good! (better used in bed with a kaunis suomalainen kuningatar = beautiful Finnish queen)

voit voittaa! = you can win!

words that denote progress:

edistya = get better
edeta = to progress

combining them from the above selections, you could come up with:

"Tule, tule! Voit edistya!" (or "Go, go! You can get better!")

(pronounciation guide: the "y" in Finnish is semi-silent; it's pronounced like the "y" in the word "physics")

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, so I save the Finnish for when I want to let off a little steam: voi vittu! (smirk)


Nakemiin! :-)

[hollywood9826]

OK im confused up above you say it means good shot or great shot. then you say basically if you say it you are swearing. :)

is tule 1 syllable or 2. and there is no word for on in finn?

That's funny, I recall an interview with Wilander in the 80's; when asked about the "Vicht" salute, he mentioned it was a gesture peculiar to his hometown and it meant "everything's OK" - how Hewitt co-opted it is beyond me, and obviously it's now gone well past its original meaning...

I also like how the Italians (forza!) yell out "Die" to spur on their favorites: "Die, John!" (McEnroe once thought he was being threatened by otherwise friendly fans in Rome!)

I believe most demonstrative Germans would say, "Geh doch!" [(emphatic) Go!] to psyche up. At least I do.

[YULitle]

I worked with a pro that always said "mench!" I don't know how to spell it, that's just how it sounds when read Americanized. :D I don't think it means c'mon, but he said it in the same context.

I think a mensch is a 'nice guy' or 'good man' in Yiddish.

Ha, ha. Ok hollywood, this is on the level. Disregard my fisrt/original post wherein I referenced "perkele" to mean "good shot" and "voi vittu" to mean "great shot." Those Finnish words (perkele/voi vittu) in fact mean "sh*t" and "oh f**k" respectfully.
I was just imagining Jarko playing a match down in Miami and a well-meaning fan (Drakulie) using those words to shout out "enouragement" to Jarko, that is, unknowingly showering the court with Finnish profanities-lol-that would've resonnated in only "one" pair of ears: Jarko's-lol~! My most recent/previous post above this can however be taken at face value. I did honestly try to attempt to list words and phrases of encouragement along the lines of "come on!":

"tule, tule...voit edistya!" ("come on..you can progress!")

Regards.

[VadeRetro]

In Dutch it is:

"Kom op"

Much like in English.

Personally I never say something like that to myself in a tennisgame.
First I start be giving myself technical instructions like "Watch the ball", "Move yout feet", "Bend your knees".
Only when everything goes horribly wrong I swear at myself for being an idiot who should never have taken up a racquet.

Yeah, I personally have never heard anyone say "kom op" or "ja!" here. Most of the Dutch people (Hollanders, dus) just say "come on!".

That's Wilander and Kroon, the guys who actually invented the Vicht in their little town in Belgium. They owned the trademark, Hewitt stole it when it expired while they were trying to renew it. At this point a phallus began to grow on his head

[Enrai]

Japanese phrases

kakate koi="come on!" or "bring it!"
ikuze="let's go!" or very loosely "come on"

The comp im on right now doesnt have the hiragana option so i cant write it in japanese.

[vbranis]

"Haide" - Serbian & Romanian. It means "C'mon".

[VadeRetro]

Yeah, I personally have never heard anyone say "kom op" or "ja!" here. Most of the Dutch people (Hollanders, dus) just say "come on!".

You must be of a different generation or a different part of the country.
I presume both.

I hear "Kom op" a lot in doubles when people want to encourage their partner, You just don't tell yourself "Kom op".

Only people living in Holland claim that every Dutchman is a "Hollander", much to the annoyance of people living in one of the ten provinces of the Netherlands which are not "Holland". Off the 12 provinces which constitute the Netherlands only two provinces are in "Holland".

The sheer arrogance of Hollanders (people living in Holland) to declare every Dutchman as being a "Hollander" is ridiculous. It is the same as declaring every US citizen a Virginian.

A proud inhabitant of "Noord Brabant", a Dutch province just as big as Holland and home of the true soccer champions of the Netherlands, PSV Eindhoven.

Yeah, that's basically what I meant; you don't go "kom op" when you're playing singles. At least, I haven't heard anyone saying it.

Well, I'm not a Hollander (though I'll be living there next year) and I'm not really a soccer (or as it really should be called; voetbal) fan. I always loved Kluivert, though, and I hate Ajax fans. Just my opinion, though, lol. Ajax fans seem to be a bit arrogant sometimes.

haha nvm then, i thought they were just random people. LOL, i just got owned by 2 people.

[MegacedU]

"Allons-Y" is let's go, or come on, in French.

[chiapants226]

'ayo!' is comeon in indonesian/malay.
if you get frustrated, you can yell 'madipantat!' :p
it means motherf***er :p

[panic]

In Finnish
(particularly useful to hollar when attending, e.g., a Jarko Neiminen match):

Perkele (per-kell-le) = "good shot"

Voi vittu! (voy-vee-tu) = "great shot!"


People can get beaten because of you for that :D.

Actually perkele means something like "f*ck" (the word itself comes from the word "ass") and voi vittu! is something like oh sht, but more dirty :D

[forzainter]

Do epeople relaly say these things? just like yell out Andiamooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I wouldnt have thought the italians would say andiamo, that means 'we go' or something, im 100% sure its something to do with going somewhere, forza has a direct translation of 'come on' though

[origmarm]

haha nvm then, i thought they were just random people. LOL, i just got owned by 2 people.

Its unfortunate because he plays with real spirit and you have to admire the fact that if he plays anyone on the tour who is not 100% in the match even today, he'll take it. I used to enjoy watching him a lot. Its a pity because every time he does the vicht now it just irritates me

[malakas]

I also like how the Italians (forza!) yell out "Die" to spur on their favorites: "Die, John!" (McEnroe once thought he was being threatened by otherwise friendly fans in Rome!)

I believe most demonstrative Germans would say, "Geh doch!" [(emphatic) Go!] to psyche up. At least I do.

hahaha :mrgreen:,that reminds of a Italy-Greece football game when the Italians with the best intentions shouted "Auguri Auguri" = welcome to the opposite fans but the Greeks thought they said "aggouri aggouri" meaning cucumber and a slang word..with some unfortunate results that lead to the interruption of the match in the end.lol

also [ade] means come on in greek,turkish,serbian,croatian,bulgarian,albanian.

[montx]

Cantonese : CA YAO

I don't think that people (e.g. in the present tennis tourney in Miami) would freak and want to beat anyone--practically all of them wouldn't know what 'perkele' meant; besides Finns are somewhat lax with regard to using "blue" slang in their everyday language. :razz:

That said, it's my understanding that "perkele" is a stronger version of "devil!" in that "Perkele" originally was the name for the Finnish pagan god of thunder. And "vittu" (voy vittu) is a stronger term; i.e. "f" in nature.

[jmsx521]

Davai (I think) -- in Russian, with the accent falling on the "i." The "i" is pronounced like "e."

Davai -- in Bulgarian, with the accent falling on the first "a"

[slice bh compliment]

Okay, it's time to throw down the knowledge folks:

Om' on Cay! [that's ''come on!'' in pig latin]

OmeCay Onnay [same thing, different dialect of pig latin]
