Basic swear word to express anger (more often) or surprise 2. Adjective to emphasise an insult about someone of something disliked 3. Noun to describe a person that makes another angry because of this person's annoying or disgruntling acts or attitude (or simply because this person is unbearable) 4. An emotion meaning to be furious, extremely angry 5. A word to express surprise, whether good or bad *The word tabarnak is really hard to translate in English as there is no litteral translation so the closest term is all of the words related to the word fuck!
1. Tabarnak! (Meaning: Fuck!) 2. J'l'haïs en tabarnak! (Meaning: I hate him/her as fuck!) or J'haïs les cons en tabarnak! (Meaning: I hate assholes as fuck!) 3. C't'un tabarnak!
