Did you guys make the unofficial Trigedasleng dictionary? Did David Peterson collaborate to have the website published? I am asking because I use UOTD and many fans tell me that I am not learning "real Trigedasleng" lol. I know it is but for their damn sake I wanted to ask this question in hope to get an answer to show them. 😵

David J Peterson has been in our group for some years now and approves of us creating our own dialect for practical use of the language in modern situations and he would probably tell you to tell anyone who says you aren't learning "the real" Trigedasleng that he's disappointed with their gatekeeping attitude as well as reassure you that you're doing perfectly fine learning the canon as well as Slakkru version.

It doesn't mean what you're learning is any less 'sleng - you're learning Trigedesleng with bonus vocab!

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

[scienceoftheidiot]

They existed *before beetles*

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

First quote from the linked article. Found it poetic.

I would love to learn trig but I’m not so good at it would I still be allowed in

We're trying out Discord!

Hei! So over the past few years, and especially in the last couple of months, our member count has shot up and after a bit of thinking, we've decided to move out of Slack and into Discord.

Why did we do this? Well:

- Discord saves message history while Slack doesn't.

- Discord offers us a lot more functionality such as roles and bots to help with management without locking it all behind a paywall.

- There's voice chat! We can actually speak/practice/teach trigedasleng!

- You don't need to ask to join!

The last point is big, I think. Before, you had to email us and ask for an invite to Slack but now there's a permanent link you can click to join our server. Send it to friends! Instantly be part of our kru!

The server is still new and we're in the beginning stages of moving our existing members over, but we're releasing the public link now to continue our momentum of growing the community. Please join and share!

With regards to this tumblr, we do check it! I know it might seem a little dead but our community is active, just not on this! We are always looking here and will be using it for major updates, such as this one, so don't worry! We are here!

idk if i already asked you this (tumblr stopped working in my phone) but i'd like to know if “and i am not weak” translation is “en ai ste nou kwel” or “en ai nou kwel”. and also, i know “swis” means knife, but how would you say “sword”?

Sword is "bleirona" and I would say "en ai nou ste kwelen"

Hei. Idk how this works, but I'd like to know how would you say “You are killing me slow but I am not ready to die” in Trig. Mochof. Leida.

Hi, I’m writing a story on Wattpad that takes place during the 100 era, and in the story I am creating the 14 Clan after the 13 Clan called the “Bunker Clan, Bunker People,” but I am curious to know How do you say “Bunker People” in Trigedasleng I know that “Kru” means People in Trigedasleng, but what does “Bunker” mean?

Closest we thought was "trap" which means camp. Maybe "gapa" for hole/pit?

- pinki

[slakgedakru]

And what does “Gada prom in?” Mean

"Have a question/questions?"

[slakgedakru]

i’ve been recently trying to translate skam quotes for fun and thought i’d ask your thoughts. How would « all is love » be translated? would it be « ogeda laik/bilaik hodnes » or would it be something less literal? Mochof!

I think both work but have different feels to them from the difference in laik's definitiveness vs bilaik's comparing.

[slakgedakru]

How would you say the verb hope in Trigedasleng. I’ve been looking everywhere and there doesn’t seem to be a translation. Thanks!

It might be easier to translate the whole sentence because I would use "hofli" which is "hopefully" but it would also change the sentence structure.

- pinki

[slakgedakru]

how would you say « i want to » or « i have the urge/want » to do something in trig. chof

"Ai gaf..." is "I want/need"

[slakgedakru]

You can send it to us here or any of our social media! We won't post it publicly. And I would go with "Livai".

Maybe conqueror… @slakgedakru?

Hey, So I’m kinda new to this language but I was hoping to learn it. I am as we speak going through the dictionary as well. But I would love to be a part of the group so I could pick up on some stuff. Is the invite only for people who know the language or is it also for initiates?

It is absolutely open to all! Just send us your email and we will send you an invite!
