How come the msq keeps using big words?

[Iscah]

Using dictionaries is hard.

It's such a big book though! And it's full of hard words!

Do you think Urianger and Jacke would be able to understand each other?

Anyway, I wish more troll threads were like this - it's not inherently offensive. A nice change from the "I brought this strawman to show-and-tell, please burn it so I can watch " variety.

Urianger probably knows every language in the world and could decipher his Lominsan speak.
No one can understand Urianger except Y'shtola and anyone who plays a nerrrrd WoL.

Personally, I love the opportunity to expand my vocabulary. One of my friends occasionally throws out more obscure words, such as velutinous, and it’s always fun to google and find out what they mean. My work also throws out gems such as litigious and contemporaneously.

Are you fluent in Japanese?

No. But it just flows better. Like it fits. But I see this as nothing but anime so the Japanese audio works for me. ARR turned me off the english audio. Mayhap.

I'm not an english major so I don't know these big words. But omg can we all agree to chill with the big words. How come urianger and even the crystal Miqote use words like "puissant"? What does "by his most puissant hands" even mean lol? Do you want people to carry a dictionary when they do the msq? Because if you are you succeeded congrats looooool.

Or, use this as an opportunity to LEARN NEW WORDS. Folks dont yell at authors for using a big word in a book that they dont know... NO, they either skip it or look it up or make an inference (guess) based on the content/context where the word was used.
You dont have to carry a dictionary. I'm sure you have a smartphone or a computer. Search engines are your friend.

PS> From a quick google search.
Puissant:
having great power or influence.

English isn't even my first language and I can understand it just fine. You talk like a twitter teenager in your post, it's really not that difficult. Learn some words if you can't understand it or at least try and grasp it from the context it is spoken in. See it as an opportunity to learn.

BroFists is sitting in his Chesterfield wing chair nearby a cozy fireplace in his library dating back to the 16th century, gently closing the lid of his MacBook. As the background lighting of the display slowly vanishes, you can make out a gentle smile on his face... As he puts the computer away, he leans back and tumbles his whiskey while you keep getting baited day for day. . . *cracking wood in the fireplace* *camera pans out*

Funnily enough, while archaic, and still using many... big words so to say, Urianger is pretty easy to understand in Japanese. I think they went the extra mile with the english version to make him sound as convoluted as possible.

Actually the more I think about it, it isn't even that archaic in japanese, just overly polite, and sophisticated (?).

PS: to be fair both english and japanese are secondary languages to me.

It distinctly reminded me of period pieces that attempt to remain accurate to the language of its time, i.e. from 200-600 years prior to modern Japanese. Admittedly, though, that style feels more similar to modern Japanese than 16th century English would feel to modern English, if only due to the number of words changed.

Perhaps English's Urianger, too, is less "archaic" as just having a larger available vocabulary and different words preferred for particular situations, but again, his style fits into what you'd expect of an educated person of some centuries ago in the same way as his Japanese version seems to, so I don't think they necessarily overly styled him so much as maybe that same imitation requires more changes in English.
