Any fluent Spanish speakers in the house?

[ret5hd]

babelfish doesn't translate these words, and am curious as to their meaning:
(i am unsure about the exact spelling, maybe thats the problem)

trasnochada
probreza
pais
funebre

[pooja]

1. pais is land.. i think

[DesertRat]

2. Not fluent, but pais is "country". funebre is funeral

[Behind the Aegis]

3. pais = country

'pobreza' = "poverty"

'trasnochada' = "spoiled, rotten" (f.)

'funebre' = funeral (accent on the 'u')

[Xipe Totec]

4. Here

trasnochada = late night; short on sleep (usually partying, but can also mean working)
probreza = poverty
pais = country
funebre = somber, depressing mood (as in a funeral).

[EFerrari]

5. You are fast!

[ret5hd]

9. very useful...thank you. (nt)

[MADem]

7. Ok, now what was the sentence or paragraph in which you found those

words?

8. It was a comment to a video i posted on youtube.com:

Que video mas triste, pana, como la mentalidad gris de los chavistas retrogrados que creen que repitiendo slogans de la izquierda trasnochada e igualando a todos en la probreza, se puede construir un pais. Ahh la musica funebre de Molotov va con el video.

babelfish translation:
That sad video but, velveteen, like the gray mentality of the retrogrados chavistas that think that repeating slogans of the trasnochada left and equaling to all in the probreza, can be constructed pais. Ahh the musica funebre of Molotov goes with the video

What a sad video brother (pal, friend) how gloomy the mentality of the reactionary "chavistas" (slang word I am not familiar with) who think that by repeating slogans from the sleepy left and making all the poor equal they can build a nation. The funeral like music of Molotov goes with the video.

(some of the translations on the net are literal which means they don't always translate correctly. In this case the word "pana" is a slang word used to mean "brother" or "pal" or "buddy" or something like that, not velveteen! LOL)

[K8-EEE]

11. "Chavista" = supporter of Hugo Chavez

This is a Freep-ista commenting, LOL!

[calico1]

13. Hehhee, thank you!

[Marie26]

17. Oops, beat me. nt

[ret5hd]

12. thank you very much...what a help...

"chavistas" are followers or beleivers in the policies of Hugo Chavez, their democratically elected president, whom the u.s. govt very much despises. I freely admit i am a "chavista".

[calico1]

14. Yes, I should have figured that one out. n/t

[Marie26]

15. Chavistas = pro- Chavez

Meaning supportive of Chavez's populist/leftist gov. And I think transnochada can also mean old-fashioned.

So - "What a sad video, my friend, like the gloomy mentality of the backwards Chavez supporters who think that they can build a nation by repeating outdated leftist slogans & making everyone equally poor. Ahh, the funeral march of Moltov goes with the video." He's sort of making fun, sorry.

18. Your translation was better than mine.

I don't get to use Spanish that often. I agree that the poster was making fun of the comment.

16. probeza = pobreza = poverty
