Larian Studios Forums General Chat Just say hello or hi or.......!!!

Selamat Pagi - Good Morning
Selamat Tengahari - Good Noon
Selamat Petang - Good Afternoon/Evening
Selamat Malam - Good Night

all in malay language. Selamat actually means safe but in this context it's good or well. Pagi means morning, Tengahari means midday or noon (Tengah = middle, hari = day), Petang means afternoon or evening & Malam means night. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Selamat Datang! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> that means welcome.

Bom dia - good morning
Boa tarde - good afternoon
Boa noite - good night

fica frio - be cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I guess someone has to say it, so......Howdy!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

kumusta!

it's a corrupted translation of the spanish words "como estas". basically means hello or how are you.

and jang, "salamat" in our language means "thank you".

i'll send a prize to anyone who can guess what "iniibig kita" means in english.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

crusader, u're a filipino? if so then

HELLO NEIGHBOUR! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> i'm on the borneo island, state of Sarawak.

you got that right, neighbor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Means:

"I love you" where is my prize, ha ha... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Here i love you or iniibig kita:

Eu te amo (pronounced 'eiu chee amu'). Try to speak it correctly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />


Hey Jang Kumusta for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

And Salamat to everyone here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />


Como estas? Yo estoy bien! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

"Hey Jang Kumusta for you." Shyon

hey, no dirty words! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

a silly trivia; in my state (i don't know about the rest of my country since we're so diverse racially, religiously, linguistically), whenever people come over to our house, after greetings we will usually ask the visitors if they have their meals. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> just thinking of the welfare of visitors, u know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

sheesh, how did you get that so fast shyon? never thought anyone could guess. for that, i'll give you a copy of a locally-made rpg, anito:defend a land enraged. but freight costs to your country might be exorbitant. you're halfway around the globe. my savings will go down the drain!

have to find a way to fit this box into the e-mail. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, i believe so... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
Now how i got it so fast? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
The internet is a huge library. I found your words in one minute in more than 100 different languages. Nice try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

sigh... this is one instance where the wonders of technology can backfire on you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

My normal greeting i think would be..."All right" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
and my normal way of saying good bye would be...."Toodle pip" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Let's be a little immature...

What does this mean?

Jag är bög.

Übereil <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

so what does that mean ube? in plain everyday english pls.

i hope it's not something pornographic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

On a rather serious note, Larian could include all of these kinds of Greetings into their next game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> *hint, hint* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
I think it would be quite good to be greeted from within the game in your own language. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (Just my thought.)

we could have a unique rpg title in our hands.
Around the world in 80 days.
visiting lots of countrys full of traditions ,kingdoms, corruption and loot.

or we could make it a quest in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

We have something similar here in Germany.

In the morning : "Guten Morgen", short form (kind of slang) : "Morgen"
Around high noon : I often hear "Malzeit" because a Malzeit is something to eat. From high noon to 14.00 it is normally time to eat.
In the afternoon : "Guten Tag", short form : "Tag"
In the evening : "Guten Abend", short form : " 'Nabend" (spoken "nabend" or "naabend" , depending on part of the country you are in [influence of dialects] , similar to the quote above <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )
In the night (if ever <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> ) : "Gute Nacht", short form : "Nacht", with an ch like in "Loch Ness". "Gute Nacht" is normally only said when going to bed at night, because you'll hardly ever meet a person at nicht. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (Well, at least outside towns <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

In short :

Guten Morgen - Good Morning
Guten Tag - Good Afternoon
Guten Abend - Good Evening
Gute Nacht - Good Night




Yeah, that's why I sometimes read in the dutch-language forum-part here ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Romania
Buna dimineata - Good morning
Buna ziua - Good evening
Buna seara - Good afternoon
Noapte buna - Good night

It happened 2 me when I worked in a place.A british called to take an order and god he's accent is so british,I didn't understand much.I'm not used to that kind of speaking cause they have a really strange accent.I'm used to american english not the british one.

I really like how "Ta Ta" sounds.In Romania we use some time "Tai Tai" but not very often.So there are kind a similar.
