How did you make this language did u use an app or something.

I didn’t make this language and it certainly wasn’t made with an app. The amazingly talented @dedalvs created it!

Hi again! I was just doing a lesson and had a suggestion for if you were looking to add more/when you're done with the grammatical parts of the lessons. Perhaps you or one of the Slakkru can make clips where you're talking in Trigedasleng and have us translate it for better comprehension/pronunciation? Like the lessons or a simple conversation. Mochof! 😀

I’m not really making lessons anymore, but maybe Slakkru would be interested in doing something like that? @slakgedakru?

Can you please please please give us The Travelers Blessing in Trigedasleng. (Want it as a tattoo but in trig for Lexa) 😭 In peace, may you leave this shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.

This is a tough translation, and I’m not sure I can match the grace of the English, but I can translate it. Here it is:

Kom chilnes yu na ban sishou-de au,Kom hodnes yu na hon neson op.Gouthru klir hashta yu soujon,Kom taim oso fali kom daun gon graun-de.

I have two thoughts on this translation. The last line’s a little long. It could be shortened by changing oso to ‘so. It could also be shortened by removing fali. And you could do both. I’m not certain what version would be best. All work, though. I stand by getting rid of “this” in the first line and translating it as sishou-de. I think it works better in Trig. I also think using na is more elegant than mebi or hofli for this translation. I also like kom daun gon better than komba raun, despite its being wordier, because it makes direct reference to coming down to Earth from space. I also like that there were a couple happy accidents—the first being that gouthru klir is literally from the first line of Trigedasleng in the show back in 201 (Octavia, who’s rehearsing the line in preparation of meeting with the Grounders), and the second being that graun-de sounds like “Grounder”.

Thanks for your patience with this. :) Not just you, but everyone else who’s been looking for a translation of this. I’ve been super busy, and a translation like this isn’t simple, so I want to be sure I get it right. Thanks for the ask. <3

Hey, I was in the Slack a looong time ago and did a lot of the early speculation. I just came back and it seems to have gone quiet. Did something happen?

I don’t actually know... I was also part of it early on but am not active on there anymore. @slakgedakru?

[skaigedasleng]

Hi, could you tell me the words for mother, father, big sister, little sister, brother and friend, please?

Hey, random question - is there a word for midnight? Do we have info about how the Grounders talk about time?

Hi! I don’t know of a word for midnight. I don’t think Grounders keep track of time the way we do, but they do have some general words for times of day such as nat for “night” and sonop for “morning”. I hope that helps!

Hi, I'm new here. I've been watching the 100 since it started but i never thought to look on Tumblr. But I wanna get a tattoo of, " My Fight Is Not Over." In trigedasleng. I was hoping you could give mea pretty accurate translation. And if there are any learning things you have, can you send me the link? On mobile right now so can't find much. Lol. Thanks in advance!

Hi! “My fight is not over” would be Ai gonplei nou ste odon. Good luck with the tattoo! 

My blog has a few lessons and some resources on the sidebar of the main page. http://trigedasleng.info/ is the most up to date dictionary out there, so you can check that out! 

If you’re interested in talking to some other people interested in the language, you can join the @slakgedakru community. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Wait I’m confused where’s the 11 learning things all I see is people asking for their name translated lol
