There is no German word "fricken", but "Ficken" which can be translated as f**king.

The F-word.

In any language, its always some kind of profanity. In Spanish its pinche, in Japanese its baka, in Korean its pabo and so on.

Erm, "baka" really means retard and "pabo" means nerd/weirdo.

Indeed. It can mean "no" and "yes".

I know exactly what they mean because I picked them up when I was in the service. The question is versatile and those two words can be used in any fashion. Any noun, idea, person, abstract thing, verb or adjective can be baka or pabo.

Now, did you know what they mean, or did you have to Google the words?

And they are curse-words but they lose a lot of their "oomph" when translated. In English, "idiot" isn't so bad.

Which is why I translated baka as "retard" instead. It's slightly stronger.

Pabo I did have to look up, though.

Baka isn't versitile at all though. It's a suffix, it really has few uses.

Yes it is.

It's also a prefix, as in "baka yaro" (f*cking assh*le). And using it as a prefix doesn't give it a new definition, it's going to mean the same thing no matter what the context.

You're right that it doesn't have many definitions like "set" does. What it is, is a strong modifier that can be used in any sentence to describe or intensify anything. So its basically their F-word. BUt it's only used to modify towards the negative. So it's no where near as versitile as ****.

It sounds like it is more like only one function of ****.

There are plenty of strong modifiers that are on the same level and a lot that are even stronger than baka... Baka is just in a lot of animes so has traveled.
