chongjasmine Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Why did Galladon always say 'kolo?' at the end of his speech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 It was just a Dula manner of speaking. The translation means something along the lines of, "Isn't that right?" or "Don't you think?" Just the same way someone might add a word like, "right" onto a sentence. "We're going to the mall next week, right?" Does that make sense? If you want to know more about the Dula language there are a few facts here in Elantris's glossary on Brandon's site. A few terms there are outdated or wrong though, so take everything you read with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Feesh Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I always thought it was more 'understand?', kind of like people saying 'capishe?' This is also what he says on Roshar during the first interlude of Way of Kings - he keeps punctuating his sentences with 'Understand?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizee Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think Brandon compared it to Canadians ending their sentences with "Eh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm just going off Brandon's glossary here, you're free to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
