OneTheyFear doesn't seem to understand that Legacy is barely used these days, as most of their replies on the Question Board are simply Legacy translations that can be found with the outdated Legacy Translator. For "lesson," there's not a canon translation, but we can construct a phrase that will fit with the intended meaning. Untsemindoraan would work, as it means "trial-of-understanding," which isn't too far from what a lesson is. It's the best we can do with the limited vocabulary of the language. For "darling," or other terms of endearment, check out Ruvgein's brilliant post about various ways to say "love" in Dovahzul. It covers a lot of related topics as well, some of which might help you to find an answer for your question. HERE is the link to that thread. TL;DR for it is that there's no canon way to directly show affection, but you can use metaphors and the like. You could call someone dii zii, "my essence," to show that they mean a lot to you. Or, you can call them yoli, "my fire," to show that they are as vital a part of you as fire is to a dragon. I used to call my ex-girlfriend kulaasi as a pet name, meaning "my princess," and she called me kulaani, "my prince." Dovahzul has a lot of ways to express sappy things like that, but they all require some level of extrapolation to fully understand. Hope this helps! |
