Next?

[Soap]

Poswa uses "erupt" (like a volcano) forthat. One might think a sexual metaphor is lurking behind this, (e.g. "it makes me cum" ) but that wasnt my intention.

[cybrxkhan]

I'll pretend that this:

lurking behind this

is the next idiom.

[mapking27]

In Denalian, to be caught in a sand storm is

Zot rabijiu ol Resh e Zatush

Translation: To be angered by Resh on Friday.
This makes sense because the reigon has a lot of sandstorms. The god of sandstorms (and a lot of other thing is Resh) and the day of the week dedicated to him is Zatush, or Friday.

[Trailsend]

Feayran:

Àethshushúturunli.

Next:

[cybrxkhan]

Next:

Excessively masculine; a he-man caricature

Aidisese:

Besera ma detas - literally, "Besera's God". The Beserans were a militaristic culture that had a varied relationship with Aidis throughout its history, but even when the two were allied, the Aidisese often caricaturized the Beserans as ultra-chauvinist, bloodthirsty warriors who cared only about brute strength and testosterone poisoning or something of that sort. Thus, calling a guy "Besera's God" is like calling him the God of Masculinity, though not necessarily in a positive way. This is slightly ironic as the Beserans, although militaristic, weren't as chauvinistic as another culture, that of the Keintapans.


Next:
an Einstein; a genius

[eodrakken]

an Einstein; a genius

Tirase: Bezonbé te bólkilume sog biroló po Om. lit. "He doesn't need a dictionary when he talks to God". God, of course, speaks the classical language Kulae, widely believed to be learnable only by intelligent people. Only a genius would be confident enough in the language to address God without fear of making a possibly fatal linguistic mistake.


next: hypocrisy, advising one thing but doing another

[Soap]

Maka bamampam fam babriba.

He's got a trap* (hidden) in his backpack.

*A small animal trap used for hunting animals such as squirrels, since these people don't have any easily concealable weapons. This can be substituted with anything else that suggests one's intent is to hunt animals (which is illegal everywhere) rather than simply enjoy a walk in the woods. There are at least three different words for different kinds of animal traps in Poswa, and fishing equipment would work well too. Note that the average Poswob squirrel weighs 88 pounds in adulthood, and they are quite dangerous, so a human wouldnt want to get too close.



Next TC: To deny an obvious reality, especially one that would be emotionally damaging (.e.g not just lying on purpose to win an argument ("why no, I didnt trap any animals while I was out hiking") ... think anorexics etc who are in poor health, obvious to all, but psycholoigcally cant admit it)

[Přemysl]

Aidisese:
ohate - literally, "am kissing", or the kissing verb with a progressive aspect. Comes from a novel of the famous Aidisese author Un Kaphis, who was the first to use the trope of a person being mentally disabled after a kiss, although it's not like our more innocent conception of it - in Un Kaphis' work, it means that one is too overcome by feelings of lust and desire, so one thus cannot think properly.


Next:
Yeah, right. [or some kind of response/phrase that indicates that one doesn't believe what someone else has just said]

[WanderlustKoko]

Karani:

Uzozkina tooyatte seigai aku monokatri [usoskina to:jatʰdɛ seɪkaɪ akʰu: monogatʰri:] /lit to tell (lies)+how to do (something)+world+possesive particle+ story(-+ies)./ How is that you are telling (lies) all these stories? [implying that the speaker is lying about a lot of things and will not stop]

Shorter way of expressing this is:

Oipa (kulus) honma hainma?[ɔɪpʰa (kʰulu:z) ɦonma ɦaɪnma] - Can (you) really do it? [the hainma particle indicates that the speaker doubts the other person's motives and suspects that the person has an ulterior motive or is flat out telling them lies.] -This can also be shortened to just Oipa hainma and it will still indicate the same meaning.

Hainma- /particle/"Maybe, perhaps" (Indicates doubt or sarcasm)
Honma- really

Next: To deny the fact that someone has been scammed/defrauded/tricked into believing something that turned out to be untrue.

[cybrxkhan]

Next: To deny the fact that someone has been scammed/defrauded/tricked into believing something that turned out to be untrue.

Aidisese:
bentoata ha woa - literally, "to yawn [at] truth". Yawning while someone speaks implies that one is ignoring them, or that one is disinterested, so yawning at the truth is as if one is ignoring the truth.

Ür Mazël Ticel lit. A Magic Thought. A thought that came from nowhere, must be magic, right?
