[Language] Vani Basics [Pre-Approval]

Postby Lesserage on April 3rd, 2011, 4:29 pm

To add a more cultural feel to my Vantha merchant, I've started making him speak using foreign-sounding honorifics and greetings. Would these words have to be approved and qualified as part of the Vani language before I can try to use them frequently in his speech, I wonder? I'm mainly using them as such:

~ Essai (Hello)
~ [fml.] Moressai (Greetings)
~ [eg.] "Essai, my friend!"

~ Tava (Bye)
~ [fml.] Tavalerre (Farewell)
- [eg.] "Tava! I'll see you tomorrow!"

~ Lerre (Hale/You okay?)
~ [fml.] Alerre (How do you fare?)
~ [eg.] "Lerre, David?"

~ Vessera (Milord)
~ [pl.] Vesserati (Milords)
~ [eg.] "How do you fare, Vessera Peter?"

~ Vesserina (Milady)
~ [pl.] Vesserinati (Miladies)
~ [eg.] "You look well today, Vesserina Jessica."

~ Vessio (Young Master/Mistress)
~ [pl.] Vessoti (Young Masters/Mistresses)
~ [eg.] "Vessio Adam is being cared for by one of the local nursemaids."

~ Vessar (Person - Respectful unisex term of address, usually used for Kelvic)
~ [pl.] Vessari (People)
~ [eg.] "Well met, Vessar Louise."

~ Ve (Friend)
~ [pl.] Vei (Friends)
~ [eg.] "Joseph! Ve! Long time no see!"

~ Mave (Friend - Kelvic Only)
~ [pl.] Mavei (Friends - Kelvic Only)
~ [eg.] "Horst, Mave, it is good to see you."

~ Venueto (Loved One)
~ [pl.] Venueti (Loved Ones - Often refers to family)
~ [eg.] "Venueto, how good it is to see you again after all this time!"

~ Vefiora (Loved One - Romantic)
~ [pl.] Vefiorati (Loved Ones - Romantic)
~ [eg.] "Ah, Vefiora, how beautifully your hair shines in the moonlight."

~ Morwenai (Worshiper of Morwen)
~ [pl.] Morwenati (Worshipers of Morwen)
~ [eg.] "I am a Morwenai, dedicated to Morwen's Everwinter Temple."

~ Ael (Of/From)

~ Ain (The)
~ [eg.] "Ain Icewatch."

~ Daal (Good)
~ [eg.] "That is daal!"

~ Dalte (Bad)

I already mentioned this in your other thread, but to continue to look professional, I will do it again. ;)

There is a process to this, and you can find it here! We need you to go through this process in order to get this on it's way to being approved into the Wiki... and before all else, you need Help Desk approval!

I shall go about doing so!
"Look closely into every man's eyes. There, you will find a dream."
"Within every woman's eyes, lies an ambition."
"And in each child's eyes is an aspiration."
"Even within a beast, lies instinct."
