Some observations made by the Harpiologist Aul Ne'kmu'm on the language of Felaryan harpies.
| Harpy | Nice English |
|---|---|
| "I wish to speak to your sister." | "Let me see your sister or face my wrath!" |
| "She's not here." | "Insolent fool! My sister has more important matters to deal with than speaking to the likes of you!" |
| "Happy birthday mom!" | "Why haven't you croaked yet, you filthy old slut?" |
| "I have a favor to ask, can you lend me some help?" | "Move your lazy, good-for-nothing wings over here and do something useful." |
| "Sure, I'd be glad to help you." | "You can't do anything yourself perma-chick. I lend you my assistance out of pity!" |
| "I have leftovers, do you want some?" | "Eat this weakling, maybe someday you'll be as great a hunter as I." |
| "Thank you, that was delicious." | "I expected a more filling offering. Bring me more next time." |
(Suggested translations) from the Garnet comic:
| Harpy | Nice English |
|---|---|
| "Hey you!" | "Oi slimeball!" |
|
Note: "Slimeball" is an affectionate term here. If the harpy was talking to a stranger she would use the variation "Hairbrained dimwit". |
|
| "Happy to see me?" | "Wet yourself? You should! 'Cause I'm going to rip yer sissy head off and spit down ya neck!" |
| "I'm happy to see you too." | "Then... yeah! I'm gonna pull your @!#& tongue out and use it as a zipper!" |
| "Have a nice day." | "Have a nice day and don't let the door hit you on the way out, you sorry waste of space!" |
Additional examples can be found on the harpy phrasebook thread in the forum.
