Is there a dictionary for k'ajiiti?

Hygiliack

We get Zerith-var, who half the time speaks on unintelligible(For the non learned) K'ajiiti language, I'd be awesome to get something to translate what he says, so far I only know what Friend means "Tamiit" but that is kind of obvious

fizzylu

Wait, I thought Tamiit was partner or something like that?

But yeah, it's kind of odd playing a Khajiit and talking with him since he doesn't at all register that you are one (at least he hasn't yet, maybe he will idk).... that's a problem in many areas of this games dialogue with lots of things though.

The Khajiiti tongue is called Ta'agra. You can look at what UESP editors have translated by finding Ta’agra on UESP. There’s also a Ta’agra project which is community-run but seeks to make Ta’agra a full language.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

Tamiit means partner.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Ta'agra

Has pretty much all information we have about Ta'agra and its translation. Some of the words Zerith-var says we have heard before too, but we don't have translations of what they mean. It would be nice if they released more translations.

Dif you check the sales catalogue?

I also hope for a translation of his Ta'agra lines.

I took it upon myself to catalogue all the Ta'agra he uses, as well as some notes and partial translations. I'll dump it here for reference.

Whoa whoa WHOA, you're telling me they gave him THAT much dialogue in Ta'agra?

And they didn't do that for Ember?!

I'm incredibly sad right meow.

I mean he's from a different time and might just not be as fluent in whatever the common language is at the time of ESO. I'm quite sure ZOS did it deliberately so he seems more "out of place" in the world (but yes, I too would generally prefer to learn more about the native languages of Tamriel's different cultures).

Ember doesn't speak Ta'agra at all. She's not born in Elsweyr and is not familiar with khajiit culture or its language. She's an orphan raised on the streets of Skywatch. Meanwhile Zarith-var is Elsweyr born and raised and very much part of khajiit culture. Speaking Cyrodilic might even be somewhat unfamiliar to him.

I just personally like it when the Khajit refer to me as 5 claw or shave-skinned.

I also like it when they Argonians refer to me as beeko (short for Beekojel).

What about bald-bottom? Because that is how this one refers to all his tail-deprived friends.

Khajiit wrote his steam review for ESO in his native tongue ta'agra but unfortunately few have noticed or remarked upon it

Here is Khajiit's ESO review.

karthrag_inak

Not official of course, but thorough and consistent with official sources, to the best of khajiit's knowledge.

@BXR_Lonestar Beeko is not short for Beekojel, they are different words. Beeko just means friend, while beek-ojel is like outsider-friend or a non-Jel speaking friend.

Meanwhile Zarith-var is Elsweyr born and raised and very much part of khajiit culture. Speaking Cyrodilic might even be somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Ember's lack of Khajiit'nes was criticized. Now if she grew up in High Isle where its few khajiit it would make sense, not in Skywatch where khajiit is an significant minority.
Now it could been explained if she grew up an place with few khajiit and family moved to Auridon just before she lost her parents 5-7 years old.

For Zarith-var he did not only grew up in Elsweyr but also long ago before culture was as homogenized as its at ESO times.
And to compensate for Ember I guess.

I've added several newly-encountered lines to my quote above, and I'll keep updating it as needed.

I never understood why. There are more Khajiits in the game who were raised outside of Elsweyr and speak "normally" and no one has a problem with those IIRC.
Zhasim was raised by Orcs for example. But I don't remember talking to him I was just looking for Khajiits who don't speak in third person or taagra a long time ago.

I think some people are not happy that many companions aren't "typical" for their race. Like Bastian, who seems to be more Breton than Imperial, or Ember who doesn't speak like most Khajiit, or Tanlorin, who's been ousted from Altmer society. Some people actually enjoy the typical cultural peculiarities of TES' races and would love to have companions who show these. And yes, this is possible without turning them into a living cliché.
