How many of you have your own language from home?
[There is a very distinct pause as Arno realizes that question may need to be clarified.]
By language, I mean something that is unique to your country or culture. For example, I'm from France and our language is French- but if you go to our neighboring country Spain, they speak Spanish instead. Italy has Italian. Britain has English.
Hilariously enough, if you gathered a Frenchman and a Spaniard together, they would be able to hold a somewhat decent conversation in their own languages because they're similar. [There's a bit of a pause as he says "somewhat," because he's pretty sure he wouldn't completely understand Spanish unless given some time to really digest it.] I'm not exactly sure they'd understand everything, but the basics would be covered rather well.
I suppose I'm asking mostly because there's so many of us, and so there's bound to be similarities and differences. Even across worlds. It would be interesting to talk about it, and possibly teach others if they're wanting to learn as well.
[Because almost anything is better than thinking about their current situation or about the Savrii, in his opinion.]

video; IT'S OKAY NO WORRIES
[He sure thinks it's the best.]
Uhhhh... maybe? I've kinda used it forever though so. Who knows.
video; THANK
[He has no??? idea??? what to think of Sideswipe tbh.]
I'm not exactly from this time, so I'd definitely say that it's not something said for us back home.
video;
So what do you say, man?
video;
It's not used often, only when something unique or different happens.
video;
Do you always put like "que" and the end of words?
video;
Not always. Some words, like magnifique and académique will have "que" because they're adjectives. Other words like comprater and accuser are verbs, and therefore we don't use "que" at all.
video;
So many rules for talking, man.
How are you supposed to remember all of them?
video;
Though I suppose if you asked me to learn English, I might not say that would be easy for me.

...A download?
video;
You just plug into the 'net and download it.
video;
And what is a download, anyway?
video;
Download's like.
Getting information. Boop! Right into your head or TAB, I guess.

[He pauses to explain.] At home, we learn by either apprenticeship or through literature- well, when the streets aren't full of riots and people wanting to storm noble's gates.
video;
Wait riots?
video;
Yes, riots. Are you familiar with Earth's history? [A breath, and he continues.] Currently France is in the middle of a revolution- the people feel neglected and mistreated, and they've begun to take arms against the nobles and royalty they feel have ignored their problems and wants to live a decent life. They're fighting for their rights, essentially.

Nope, sorry dude. I just got there for like a month, and then I was here. But uh. Man, that sucks.
Bee says it was like that for us, too, except then scrap hit the intake fan and whoof. Millions of years of everything getting exploded.
