A!A again (translator timez)

Here we go again. Man its fun stringing together sentences. I'm sure ol' Paarth would faceclaw himself with embarresment of my butchery, but I tried my damndedest to obey the rules of Dragon grammar. (can you imagine dragon kindergarten? Bad enough kids stumblnig around shouting random words, imagine if one of those could freeze or burn you!)

translations:

Jul Thur:

Aam? Lost Daar Pah? Ask Kendovi Se Nii. Vodreh Tinvaak Wahi.:

Niid. Losti Unslaad Sil. Kosi Joorre. Losti Honaan Thu'um. Nisu Hon Rottei?:

Geh, Tinvaaki. Joor Tinvaak. Thu'umi Nid, Bron Thur, Noki. Unt Wah Ahraani, Sahloi :

Y'all should know Fus and Yol.

Captcha: complete exitice. A very complete exit onto the ice, indeed.

I am completely loving this story! I think your use of the dragon language is very effective. Given it's not a complete language and not set out for easy use, you're managing the impossible with a remarkable amount of panache. Your characterization of the DB is intriguing. The dragonish impulses and instincts are very well done. You have managed to imply there has been a big change bu that the DB is almost oblivious is very clever. This is actually very realistic. Disorders or damage that change the personality are often insidious that way.

A!A lapping up praise here (also MASSIVE TECHNICAL EXPLANATION)

Trust me, I know all about how damn hard that language is to write. I spent 30, count 'em THIRTY MINUTES Ctrl-Fing over and over on the UESP dragon language page, finding words and checking out tenses and possessives and all that grammar jazz. 30 minutes of no writing whatsoever, just trying to find words. There is no Dragon word for "question", did you know that? or "ask" or "query". There's no words for "I/mine" or "you/your" (there is a word for 'we'. It's 'Mu'). Apparently an 'i' is added at the end of a words to indicate a singular possessive (Speech/language = Tinvaak. YOUR speech = tinvaaki. MY Speech also = tinvaaki). 'u' is added to indicate plural possesive (our, their). 'aan' is added to indicate past tense (or rather, to indicate something has already happened, since the dragon language, being spoken by a race outside of time, has no proper tenses. Thus, 'aan' has been corrupted by me to mean past tense as well.) to indicate a plural, one duplicates the last letter and adds an 'e'. 'Joor' becomes 'joorre', 'Rot' becomes 'rotte'.


Good lord but I'm like a crabby ol' english teacher but for Dov-tinvaak instead.

Glad ya like it. Check back today or tommorow (2 days from now at latest) for an update.
