This is a lore post based on the conlang for which I hijacked the pinglist! I'll be making these every once in a while for those who are interested. If you're on the conlang pinglist, but not interested, let me know and I won't ping you for them.

Now without further complication

DRACONIC NONSENSE #02: TRADITIONAL TUNDRA GREETINGS

When meeting for the first time, the majority of tundras will say one of three things. Tundras are taught these phrases from hatching and they are second nature to them.

Greeting - “Kibohain Pache tagal.”
Translation - “You smell like family.”
Traditional response - “Torsahe ranen fek.”
Translation - “[then] walk with me.”

This is said when one’s scent brings positive or neutral emotions. It is rather common as convention assumes positive in neutral situations.

Greeting - “Kibohain Umris tagal.”
Translation - “You smell like blood.”
Traditional response - (none)
Translation - (none)

Let's just say that this is the opposite of the first response. There is no traditional verbal response as this is where conversations end.

Greeting - “Kibohain Aiga gat.”
Translation - “You smell of Ice.”
Traditional response - “Fienure ranen enual.”
Translation - “[then] remember me fondly.”

This is said when one’s scent evokes no memories. The two parties have truly never come in contact with one another before.

Oh man, the Tundra greetings are super neat! I can't wait for the next installment of these little tidbits!

Oooh, I really like the greetings :D

Ahh the lore posts are so niceee!

@Llanai, I just found this late last night. I'm slow at learning new languages, but add me to your pinglist?

Was also thinking of things Tundras might say as inspired by your post there, and as I'm literally still on the first few pages of the basic grammar slides, I'm not going to translate this or anything, because I'd butcher this lovely language you guys have built. xD But Tundras do love, and so I was trying to imagine what one may say to another that they love and came up with,

"You smell like home"
"Then stay with me."

In the same format as the others you have there. You guys may already have something like this in place, I'm far from done reading through everything, but... it crossed my mind so I figured I'd toss it out there. *shrug* ^_~

Anyway, this is a great project and I'll be coming back here often!

@noriaki pinging myself so i can learn this daily hell yea

@Xarina

Hello! Sorry for taking so long with the response. It's awesome to see more people finding and taking interest in the project! The sayings I built above are kind of a base. I'm sure tons of variations exist within, including the lovely one you've got there. I went ahead and translated it for you. "Kibohain Hald tagal." "Rise ranen fek" The word ris actually means 'to live' but I thought it worked better.

Also you can sign up for the pinglist here. I was going to have my own, but thought it'd be better to use the general one.

@Banjo @Llanai

Hmm, ok so, would something like "Clan of Singing Caverns" translate to "Zulem Arjhunbalyero gat?"

"Clan Singing-caverns of"

There was an extra E in singing but I dropped it. Hope you don't mind me pinging you on here!

also, if you're still looking for clan names to write in the script, i'm game!

@Raskies

This is legitimately cool, tagging myself.
