Learn Blitzardi

I might as well do this...

Someone asked me a lot of questions about the customs and culture of the Blitzardi...well, I got one better.

Let's all learn Blitzardi.

Blitzardi itself was a language I started developing in Junior High while helping one of my good friends with her French homework. Though my French sucks. 

Mostly because I only know a few phrases because my mother knows French. Spanish is my stronger second language.

Yeah, I learned Spanish, my mother...French. And then my good friend from Argentina who spoke Spanish...was also learning French.

So, I started basing Blitzardi off of a very bad mixture of the various Romance Languages.

How to speak it...it's similar to how one would phonetically speak Italian and Latin.

It's liquid, smooth, but forcefully bouncy.

Just imagine a Blitzardi sitting down and dipping pasta into wine while calling for garlic bread and you'll get an idea of their basic accent.

So, let's have fun with this.

First lesson. How to say a basic "hello".

And it's like you think it is...informal hello/goodbye = Ciao'ma.

Formal Good Morning: Bon'yurno.

Formal Good Afternoon: Bon'seno.

Formal Good Evening: Bon'sue

And parting Good Night: Bon'ci

Special Warrior Blitzardi greeting: L’cande uocalis. (The Thunder calls)

The reply: I’blitzar d'xeis. (The Lightning Answers)

Simple yes: Echeso.

Simple no: Ouita.

Simple understanding sentences.

I know: X'se.

I don't know: X'ni s'pä.

Questions.

What did you say? Ku'av vu di ma?

Is it you?: X'tua?

Do you speak Blitzardi?: Se l'vu Blitzardi?

Where is he/she?: Kua se lo/le?

Reply: He/she is over there: Lui e lo/le.

Command in combat.

Attack with all weapons!: Atoqh avec tolo l'aemi!

More complicated phrase.

These aliens are strange: L'etranxie e strayano.

And a little insult...

Take that, jackass!: Taek'sa, con-culé!

Actually "con-culé" is a word that isn't really translatable in English...roughly, it means something very nasty.

Another way of using it.

Vigi'te i, con-culé!

Which roughly means "watch thy lazy back"  But it's a big insult.  Talks about the incompetence of a green-behind the ears rookie soldier who could very well get themselves killed.

A more formal insult among the aristocracy.

Thine protests are profound:  T'sui l'gander altzi!

In simple terms, it means: "You talk too much."

But there we go, have fun.

One added thing.  Kedzuel's Juggernaut Battle Chariot.  It is called the Shi'lithra.

Shi means Death in Blitzardi.  Li = to..."thra" is the shorten form of Xhtaethra, which was the name of the Kethosian stellar system parent star.  Precisely, it means death to the parent stars, simply it means death to stars.  However, "li" can mean to come, and so it means death comes to parent stars...or more verbatim, the stars, whose system of planets currently hold life.  Which is what that ship does.  It destroys the stars, which causes a massive shockwave that atomizes every planet in the system.

Poetically Shi'lithra means "Death which comes to the light that gives life."  The light that gives our world life is our Sun.  Imagine what that would mean for us.
