Was just about to say the same thing. When you know what they were originally saying, you can actually decipher most of the original message from all the nonsense.
You know how Gandalf became Gandalf the White when he died? Maybe that's just a wizard thing in general and when Ron Weasley dies, he becomes white Ron.
The more support we show to the mod, the more likely it is that we can get a series of this ! Right now, they only have about 6% of lines translated :(
"Stupid dog" "thats a chicken" These are the hard science facts I come to this channel for "I'm gonna cover it with a big dead rat so I don't have to think about it anymore" just like my last relationship
Hey Kev, awesome to see you playing our mod! Your channel's definitely been an inspiration for me as a new TH-camr. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the shoutout!
"He led the black bear to a hidden table in the great room and took me... quite simply." Idk why this took me out, like it sounded like our guy was dishing out tea on a saucy encounter to his bestie!
Would make more sense if the dragons in Skyrim weren't actually wyverns, because then you could argue that dogs have 4 legs and dragons have 4 legs too, and snakes have scales and dragons have scales too so it's not so farfetched dragons are a mix of dog and snake!

Dragons being described as "snake dogs" is amazing. I think it might catch on.
That's gotta be some Chinese or something. Probably something like "scaled beast "or something
In Finnish dragons are called "lohikäärme" aka salmon snakes
@@Sfeksophobia indeed they are. I remember laughing about it with my mum when I was younger. When we translate some of these things to English it's funny.
In many slavic languages the word for dragon and the word for snake are very similar, so possibly it got confused.
Sounds like it should be a kenning from the sagas. Somehow fitting for Skyrim 😊
I’m so glad they added Kevin's language to Skyrim, now we can all enjoy the game.
It's so wholesome getting to watch him play the main quest for the very first time, now that he can finally understand it.

We 100% need a full series of this. This is way too funny for a one-off.
Im pretty sure calling someone a "milk drinker" is the equivalent of calling them a child
It’s a mistranslation of an old timey insult, “milksop”, which means Wimp.
@@saintsea-hat7891 also fair, it works in both contexts
I thought it was calling them a simp for the empire (because they drink from the imperial teat) but u can’t remember what source I got that from
