Treamayne Posted November 19, 2022 Posted November 19, 2022 WoB about the Slang/Imperial: Spoiler Quote Questioner How does one make sense of Spook's High Imperial? Brandon Sanderson One thing about High Imperial, or Eastern Street Slang, is that it was devised by those who spoke it in order to be intentionally obtuse. So it was hard for people to understand. And so there are a lot of nonsense words thrown in the middle. But, it's also got reversed grammar. ‘Wasing the wanting of doing the thing' is ‘I wanted to do that.' But you can also throw random words in there. As long as those parts are in there, it'll make sense to those they're speaking to. ‘I wanted to do this. Wasing the wanting of doing the thing.' You're putting everything into a gerund. You're starting with the verb and the tense. And you're turning everything into ridiculously bad gerunds. That's it in brief. Quote The pronoun is assumed to be you unless contradicted. Using your name is redundant. If you must refer to the subject do so at the end. Use nicknames for people, the language is based off moving the structure of a sentence into as many confusing manners as possible. In fact, using a nickname of a nickname is best. For example, Spook uses the nickname Nip to refer to Breeze, which is in itself a nickname. Adjectives come first, Then verbs, even if you form them as nouns In general, verbs should be gerunds, meaning they should end with -ing, even if that's not normally correct. The only exception is if the verb can't become a gerund without losing the needed meaning. Form sentences (Tense-Adjective) (Verb-Gerund) Noun The longer the sentence is it becomes symmetrical. Remember it TAV-GuN; Nug VAT Those in parenthesis (see above) can be swapped around with each other. I don't know where the you came from; this is how a friend explained it to me. It's better to use longer sentences, the shorter ones can give more clarity, which we are trying to avoid. Throw as many "wasings" and "hasings" in as possible, even if they are not necessary to divert from the actual point Don't use possessives unless they are formed as adjectives. To refer to a subject say "of <subject name>". Many phrases begin with Wasing or Ising. Ising (in the) now is incorrect, don't pair them. This changes the tense. If you must change the tense, you'll have to cycle again, or you risk adding too much clarity to what you say. Don't neglect Notting, Nowing, Nearing, Having, Kind, Good, You, He, Wanting and other words as they work well too. Remember that you'll learn to understand it before you speak it near as well. 1 hour ago, Shallan Stormblessed said: Is this correct?

I would probably go with something like: Hating the be of the people with the annoying there.
