Brandon Sanderson / Re: Spook's Eastern Slang
« on: July 12, 2009, 04:27:52 AM »
sounds good,  I read it, but I still wanted to find every instance of Spookspeak I could.

next one-

"Wasing with the Dox to come and be without the stay."

-Dox and I came to visit.

"Weapons for the getting, giving for the time to be."

-this one is clarified by Spook himself- "We needed the drop off some more weapons, " ... "Storing them here for a while."

actually, i think there's a typo contained in there. 'needed the drop' should be 'needed to drop.' I'll check the typo thread, see if i need to add it.

"Notting as the now," ... "Kelsier wasing the the hit with my name; changed it to Spook."

-Not anymore, Kelsier didn't like my name, he changed it to Spook.

"Two weeks," .."Wait here."

"Someone's coming! Out in the night with the calling!"
"Big man. Robe."

Ok, I have no idea what out in the night with the calling could really mean. The rest is pretty straightforward, though.

KK, next spookspeak.

"Notting without the call of his parents."
"He wasing one, though."
"Ironeyes. Others stopped using it. Too calling close to an iron in the real eyes, eh? Inquisitor."

-Not that his parents called him ...or something.
-He had one, though.
-Ironeyes. Others stopped using it. Too close to a Steel Inquisitor, eh?

second instance of spook speak

"Lestibournes."

"Not of the yetting yet."

first is his name, second means- not yet, or I don't have a nickname yet.

Third instance

"Wasing the place when I was young."

-I lived there when I was young, or something similar.

Brandon Sanderson / Spook's Eastern Slang
« on: July 11, 2009, 06:25:45 AM »
I love the way Spook talks, even though most of the time I can't tell exactly what he said, so I decided as I read through the series this time, i'm going to post everything Spook says and translate it, roughly.


Thought ya'll might wanna learn some eastern slang as well.

anyway-- first spookspeak-

"You're wanted,"... "Ups in the where above with the doing. With Master Jumps to the third floor. Uh, I've gotta go."

basically, Kelsier wants you on the third floor. I've gotta go.

btw... if anyone has a better suggestion for these translations I'd love to hear.

Also... if someone wants to lay down the rules of Eastern slang, this is a good place to do it, eh?

Mistborn: The Final Empire

Hardback- 1st edition

90-10 ... Strength flooded his legs, and he flared his steel as well, Pulling against the safe.

-steel doesn't pull, It pushes, and he's already pulling with iron. this sentence should be stopped at legs, but that wouldn't be a good end to the paragraph. erm... anyway, typo.

Hmm... It has been made abundantly clear in my mind that atium stores the effect of age, not time, and when a Feruchemist stores 'weight' he is actually storing 'mass,' because his magic isn't a type which alters the physical forces of the universe, only his own body. The Forces acting upon him remain constant, his body changes in structure at the most fundamental level.

Yeah, but if Lanfear died, she should have died, it's just that simple.

Nah, I don't hate Rand or Moiraine, They're both incredible characters which I'm fond of. But Rand needs to die for the sake of fulfilling Min's visions, and Moiraine needs to stay trapped because i really dislike it when characters are brought back from the dead. It's too... ummmm.. I don't think Deus Ex Machina is what I'm meaning, but I can't think of a better term.
