Tamaranian Dictionary

[Kregor8]

This is a project I'd like to try. I have a small thing for languages, and I really like Tamaranian. For now, it'd just be nice to collect a phrase book, so if you know any Tamaranian phrases (especially their meanings) then post them here. I'll post what I can think of now.

Clorbag Valblernek - a person who pulls mean pranks on others
Blothog - a celebration of friendship
Gorka pipe - a native Tamaranian instrument, similar to Scottish bagpipes, large and pink, plays very disonnant notes very loudly.

Other words or phrases I'm not sure of -
Finbar
Glembork
Zallwort Doobaflixing Zarfarger

Anyone who can correct my spelling or offer new words or meanings, please post. If you all think this is stupid, that's fine. I'll just sit in my little corner :( with my pile of books until you get over it.

[Kregor8]

And this is totally related to fan fic writing, because people can look here for a refrence when writing for Starfire or Blackfire or Sunfire or Bonfire or whoever.


Ps. Bonfire doesn't exist, to my knowlege.

[Magick]

Umm, I think there's one they mentioned in "How Long is Forever"

Reckmas-When close friends begin to drift apart, and their friendship begins to die

i have a HUGE thing for different languages and alphebets! i learned the Ancient viking alphebet by heart now! (i know im weird)
so interesting! :sweat:
tamamranian is confusing though.... i dont know much there....

[Adrastea]

Ah man, i love languages. I speak English and Swedish, and I'm learning French and Japanese. I think they're so cool, plus numerous other codes/languages i've made up....

[Sproxie]

japanese???
cooooooooool
things u made up huh? when i used to make them up i could never get them myself :shrug: so i stuck to ancient viking :D

Tamaranian word: clor bag two by vixing blarbler velk or something like that.... :sweat: (too complicated) it means SOMETHING bad:rolleyes: not sure what, just an insult :shrug: :D

[Starfire Raven]

I know cantonese! oh and by the way
Sniparwooserloop- one who plays pranks but still apoligizes
or atleast thats what I think....

[raven54]

i also have a weird thing for languages. well, actually alphabets. i like learning new languages, i'm just not very good at it. can't memorize to save my life... oh well.:anime:

[oneeyemonkeypie]

I'll be honest with you-the show's creators didn't write out a language for this show. There's no way they invested the time needed, they just wing it and try to create words that sound kinda funny, with lots of protraced vowel sounds followed by a consonant.

wusserloop is a good example. extended u and o.
to that end-since there is no basis for the language, new words are fair game, as my guess is just as valid as theirs as to what tamarnian words are. So I'll post my created Tamarnian words and what they mean. (also clorbag and blorthog have the drawn out o sound.)

Gend'an-someone who means more to you than words can express; a true love. Someone who you could see youself spending your life with.
Aach-cha - the band on starfire's upper arm. traditionally worn by tamaranian upper class and nobility. When a corresponding band is given to another tamaranian, it symbolizes they are gend'ans

this is a great idea, it would help people writing their fics. But since Tamaranian is a make-it-up-as-you-go language, I think everyone should post their words here.
(I'm trying to learn Japanese. ITS HARD!)

[Kregor8]

I was aware that Tamaranian doens't really exist as a full language. That's why I used the term "Phrase Book" and not dictionary in my post (true the title of the thread says dictionary). I assumed that we could put in all the stuff we use in our fics, just so there can be some unity between stories. I'm glad there are so many other people who like languages here. I sadly only can speak English, but I'm learnign French and dabble in Japanese and Galelic (sp?). Tolkien also has some nice stuff...:D

[raven54]

but I'm learnign French and dabble in Japanese and Galelic (sp?)
(sp)- Gaelic, maybe?

yeah, Tolkien does have some good stuff- i like the Elven alphabets at the end of Return of the King

[oneeyemonkeypie]

OK, cool. When you said know any Tamaranian phrases, I thought you meant like know from the show. Yeah, a comprehensive dictionary would be an awesome idea.

Gaelic? Really, gaelic is the least intuitive language on the planet. I have an Irish Mythology class and we speak some Gaelic. Are you learning to speak it or write it? 'Cause they're totally different.

Cuchulainn is pronounced Coohoolan.
Ridiculous.

[Sproxie]

yeah, Tolkien does have some good stuff- i like the Elven alphabets at the end of Return of the King
i also like the elven alphebets :D
love Lord of the Rings! sorta..:sweat:

[Unix]

i speak english, *duh, but still, go me!* very little Italian/Greek/Roman/German (only a phrase or two cos i really suck at languages) some Arabic from my childhood, Gaelic and i'm still learning French.
Cuchulainn is really pronounced as "Coo-cull-an" - unless thats what u said, cos i'm nearly certain that your phoenetics differ a lot from mine. *if that makes any sense at all to anyone but me:sweat: *
(sorry if this is unessicerly bi***y) Surely if your learning to speak Gaelic, you'll need the writing also? they're really not that different, besides the pronouncation, but all languages are like that. i think...?
finally, correct me if i'm wrong cos i haven't seen the episode with Mad Mod in a long time, this is just what i think i can remember:
"How many ocarans does it take to hoogie a morphlar?.... Finbar!!!:D *Star to BB*
i know its not much help other than to state the obvious, but its probably like one of those... How many blondes does it take to screw in a lightbulb...? 50!
**yes, bad joke with no point and possibility to offend many, i know, but its not mine and i only used it for an example.now if u want a real blonde joke... jk;)

[Crowgirl]

I must confess. I know a little espanol and tamaranian, but I TOTALLY ROCK with Pig latin.

Ondle-bay okes-jay are-hey unny-fay!!

[Unix]

nice! like the ::cough:: at the end, nice touch there!;)
your sig is really cool, nice motto :D

[oneeyemonkeypie]

nice...

I loved the sound in that episode when she said that and beast boy let go of "whatever" it was that he was holding.

[Unix]

nice...

I loved the sound in that episode when she said that and beast boy let go of "whatever" it was that he was holding.
yeah, i'm guessin it was mainly cos Robin was nearby ;)

[oneeyemonkeypie]

um, no not that...
When beast Boy said sorry offscreen, you could hear a suction cup-like sound. It was hilarious. And I don't think Robin had anything to do with it.

[Unix]

oh, really? i never heard that, must go find a sound clip...
i was jokin sayin at he let go twice as fast as normal cos Robin was right beside him...the whole Robin/Starfire thing...tryin to be funny, failed miserably ...ok, quiet time now:sweat:

[Kregor8]

Ok, here's another one.

Zall - roughly, "God" as in "Oh god," or "by god," or "thank god."

atsthay yaboutyay yityay orfay ownay

[nevermore]

I can speak 2 languages: English and American.
I also made up my own special alphabet, but I haven't come up with a language yet. The letters look so cool, especially the M and W. :D

[Blue_Fire]

Wow. Lots of language people here. I can speak English, a little Russian, and I'm taking French. I know a few signs, and want to learn ASL. I also speak and write Isandhurillian, although it's not quite done yet.(my little language.)

This is a fun idea though. A dictionary/phrase book.

See y'all later.


Eloise

[Adrastea]

OK, i know this is a place for phrases we make up, but these are a few i got from the show:

Knorfcuff: A kind've a Nanny or protective figure
Bunglegorff: Some sort of pet name
Grimplork: and insult said against Kitten ("She is a manipulative grimplork who is not worth Robin's time")

Yeah, there we go. Ans ah, yes, pig latin is fun

[nevermore]

Pig latin is fun, but I understand it better than I speak it. I don't exactly know how that works but I'm working on it.

[Sproxie]

i hate piglatin :shrug:
i love ancient languages and alphebets! (dont ask)

[nevermore]

Why do you like ancient languages and alphabets? I'm being sarcastic y'know. I like alphabets better than speaking the languages.

[Unix]

oh yeah, i 4got, i can spell my name in signs too.wow, we got a lotta languages around here! go us :anime:! i do like the alphabets but i also love being able to have a couple of phrases under my belt, y'know, to just throw around and what-have-ya. but a word of advise, don't do what i did; i was seven and had heard that song Lady Marmalade, i wud go up to family members and say 'Hey, i can speak French....." ... of coure, at the time i didn't know what "that sentence" actually meant. :sweat: .... the horror......:crying: :o

[T.T.Raven4]

Lol. I should've known someone would make one of these. :D I've always loved Starfires odd words. Especially Chlorbag Varblernook. (I think that's what it is...)

[rrarbecy]

I'm learning French. I suck at it, but I'm learning it. It would be so cool to be bilingual. *sigh* I wish I was bilingual.

[Sproxie]

hey, has anyone welcomed T.T.Raven 4?

WELCOME!

[Unix]

welcome T.T.Raven4, look forward to seing you around here :D

[Raven37]

I can speak English, British, Canadian, and Australian. Lol......And a small fraction of german. Herzlichen gluckwunsch zum geberstag!:anime:

P.S. Welcome T.T. Raven4!!! It's good to have ya here!:D

[Kregor8]

Ok, I'll have to put this one in.

Gorb-gorb: The Tamaranian festival of berating drappery

STUPID CURTAINS!

[Raven37]

Stupid curtains!.....LOL!:D

[Unix]

here here, we've all delt with annoying drappery at some point in our lives....

[Raven37]

yes, some drapery i used to have wouldn't stop growling at my dog.:D

[nevermore]

That's nothing. I used to have drapery that wouldn't stop eating my homework!!!!! I must have done that assignment like ten times before I got it in, and then my teacher lost it and I never got credit for it.

[Lord Welshi]

I can speak 2 languages: English and American.
I also made up my own special alphabet, but I haven't come up with a language yet. The letters look so cool, especially the M and W. :D
OK, sorry about this but it's hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic or not when it's purely typed, but WHAT? English and American are the same language. i really hope you were sarcastic with ur comment:sweat:

I can speak english, little bit of french, little bit of welsh, and a little bit of ancient greek (just so long as it's about plows, fields or big big rocks)

here's a tamaranian phrase i invented for my story, vanishing act (when star is with robin)

glarbok slemer floop - translated for younger audiences, this means "an annoying/badly timed interruption." for older audiences, it's something like "*****, ****, damn!"

[nevermore]

I was being sarcastic about the two language thing y'know.

I think I can remember where you put in your phrase, but I'm no sure. Vanishing Act was the first fanfic I ever read and that was a long time ago.

[Sproxie]

for older audiences, it's something like "*****, ****, damn!"
LOL

ancient greek? cool.

[Starfire Raven]

anyone know cantonese? (a chinese language)
I guess not:sad:
well, ley de hi ho yun!
it means you are good people
say teen
that means the s word
oh, and i forgot some but starfire once said,
you are acting like a royal....
I forgot:sweat:

[Magick]

Zarbnarf. A royal zarbnarf is what she called Beast Boy in 'The Beast Within.' I think it means bully or something like that.

[Raven37]

In Fractured, Starfire says " Welcome small amusing 'duffleganger'!" or somethin' like that....:sweat:

[nevermore]

doubleganger

[Raven37]

:sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: right!:sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

[Aquagirl15]

i feel left out! i know only the German Rae37 has bothered to teach me which is counting. some Spanish too,mind you that's not very much. i have a friend that speeks Giberish. she would say things in Giberish and it drove me crazy 'cause i couldn't understand a word!

[nevermore]

All I know is a few phrases in spanish. Besides that I only speak English.

[Magick]

I know a little Spanish, French and German. My school doesn't have a foriegn languages class, so I've managed to pick things up from movies and books. In third grade there was this kid who taught me how to speak Klingon. I can't remeber any right now, though.:sweat:

In Fractured, Starfire says " Welcome small amusing 'duffleganger'!" or somethin' like that....:sweat:Doppelganger. It is, actually, an earthling word that means clone, copy, or twin.

[nevermore]

It's spelt doubleganger!

[Raven37]

Right...my bad!!!:sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

[Magick]

It's spelled doppelganger in the dictionary on my computer. Maybe it's wrong, who knows.

[nevermore]

I'm sure that it's spelt doubleganger because double reffers to two. (Twin, clone, and copy)

[Unix]

i've just been giving some thought to the chicken or egg dilemma, but this is easier. i'm pretty sure its spelled doppleganger. i know it would probably make more sense as doubleganger, but hey, the english language is kooky like that! its also prounounced as doppleganger....

i'm almost sure the above info is correct...

[Aquagirl15]

in first grade we did a play about which came first the chicken or egg. it never told the answer. :shrug: as to the previous conversation i couldn't be of any help.

[Raven37]

hey, i remember that play!!!! I was an egg!!! Weren't you a chicken Aquagirl?

[Aquagirl15]

i think so.:confused: not sure.

[Raven37]

Yeah, I think you were 'cause I remember Brent made fun of your chicken costume because it was yellow and his was purple, but then our teacher made him make a new costume!....lol:anime:...Oh, right, off subject...back to normal...no more nonsence:sweat:

[K-dog]

in the show where starfire gets married to the sludge ball thing doesnt blackfire say his name is "glurdlesklech" or something or is it a word? i forgot

[ShadowOfAGhost]

argh!!!! I had something ready to post but something happened and now I have to retype it!!

I can speak English and Spanish (I'm in my third year of high school spanish)
what's interesting is when one of your teachers gives you...interesting phrases...and then puts them on homework and tests.

ve te a carajo :>: go to hell (vay tay ah kah-rah-ho)
cirerre la ventana maldita :>: shut the damn window (see-air-ay la ven-tah-nah mall-dee-tah)
hijo de punta :>: son of a B**** (ee-ho day poon-tah)

:^:Spanish

:v:Tamaranian

glorblar :>: a very large native tamaranian creature
(used in my story Spurned Past, Tentative Future)

“How do you feel?” Starfire asked him.

He groaned and responded “Tired, and I’m in pain all over. It feels like I was hit by a truck.”

“But how could you have been hit by a truck if you were asleep this whole time?” Starfire pondered aloud.

“He was comparing the beating he took to being hit by a truck.” Cyborg said.

“Oh, I think I understand. Like if a glorblar fell on you.”

“Umm, yeah.” Phantom looked around the room to make sure he wasn’t the only one who was clueless to her meaning.

[K-dog]

yo abla espaniol pero no mucho porque me abuelita vive en michwaucan mexico Y me ensenio a yo como ablar espaniol

i dont know if you got this or not but i think "klorbag garblerelk" is a word. it was used on the episode "forces of nature" when Beastboy hit Starfire with the oil ballon so im guessing its an insult

[K-dog]

[QUOTE=ShadowOfAGhost]hijo de punta :>: son of a B**** (ee-ho day poon-tah)
QUOTE]

im sry to say but thats incorrect

you say it like this. hijo de to pinche madre

sry for making this on two seprate posts

[ShadowOfAGhost]

Maybe there's two ways of saying it. that's the way I've always heard it.

[K-dog]

you may be right, i never heard it your way but then again everyone else has there own diffrent styles of spanish....i like spangelish. its pretty funny to hear especally if your little nephew talks spangelish

[Kregor8]

Got a new one:

Throknar - a meat crown worn on birthdays

Also, thanks to Rae:

Klorb - something to eat...but I'm not sure what! :D

7<regor (This should get me a 2-post-per-day average!)

[Edd]

Ok, here's another one.

Zall - roughly, "God" as in "Oh god," or "by god," or "thank god."

atsthay yaboutyay yityay orfay ownay

eesay ouyay aterlay!I can't recall the name, but in the first episode of season four Starfire compares Control Freak's power to someone "the Overseer" who I would assume is some sort of God in Tamaranian religion.

Zall (or zaul or however it would be spelt) was not only used by Starfire in expressing relief for Robin coming to her ("Thank zaul you--"), but also as a greeting from Galfore. ("Zaul.") My guess is it would mean something more along the lines of "goodness" or, when used alone, "good to you".

[Kregor8]

but also as a greeting from Galfore. ("Zaul.")
Yeah, I just noticed that when I watched Betrothal again last night. Hmm. And I found out (from reading the comics) that it's spelled Xäl or something like that. I don't quite remember.

7<regor

[T.T.Raven4]

I thought it was Xhal... (Dot things somewhere, but I dont know how to do that)

[Kregor8]

Yeah, that's right. Xhäl. To get the dots, hold down Alt and type 132 on the num pad. When you let go of alt, it places ä. There are a whole other ton of combinations (Alt+0194=Â, Alt+130=é, etc. Any syboll can be gotten with the alt+numpad). But you have to use the numpad, it doesn't work using the numbers above the letters.

7<regor
