Do you like to use the taru taru style of speaking when you're playing?

I like to say "thanktaru" instead of thank you, but I don't get much more into it then that.

Taru speak will someday rule the world. ^^

I don't know if thanktaru actually follows the traditional tarutaru speak-age. Adding "-taru" to something usually means it ends in a 't.'

For example:

* I like your hat-aru.

* I would rather you do this instead thataru.

* Before walking in, please wipe your feet on the mataru! ^^

I also like rhyming random words (hello~wello), and stringing them together to form crazy~wazy sentances. ^^

For example:

* Before walking in, pleasey~weasy wipe your feetsy~weetsys on the mataru! ^^

Hehehe, I like to use taru-speak VERY~WERY often. ^^;

Oh-my-Taru! Nordly lovey-wovey cutesey-wusey Taru Talk! ^^ Hello-wello is my standard greeting, and I likey-wikey to change names to Taru Names, eg. Epsi-wepsi, Avy-wavy, gobbie-wobbie.
I also add -taru to alotaru of words, basically mostaru words that end with a -t.
Too bad ur not on Kujata, otherwise u could joiny-woiny my LS TaruTerror. We organize very-wery fun events, we had a taru dance contesty-westy and a scavenger hunty-wunty ^^

I dont talk Taru Talk all the time, mostly in (RPG) LS, and I have it in some of my macros: eg. Hugtaru me for Protect! Sometimes I talk Taru in pt for fun, but Ill immediately stop if someone finds it annoying ^^

I suggesty-westy u spend some time chatting-watting with the Windurst locals, they are greataru inspirational sources! There is a taru near the Magic Shop in Bastok who uses: I wonder-blunder! I lovey-wovey that one =D

Have fun!

I try to keep the Taru speaky weaky restrained to my linkshell (Word up TaruTerror), butaru occasionally I'll slip in party combat and go off on a rant about bringing doomie woomie to the world and blowing ******* up when I'm playing my black mage.

Course with my monk or theif it's smacking monsters in the facey wacey that I rantaru about :)

I've speent days on end talking to NPC's just to get the basics of their language down.

Pretty much, act like you are 4 years old mentaly and just learned how to talk.

Well, from what I can tell:

If it ends in 'T' it can be made to Taru. ie: getaru, feltaru, neataru. However, there are some other words that sound right when a "taru" is on the end of it. Also, just becuase it has a T on the end, doesn't mean it absolutely HAS to have Taru on the end.

Your 'R's are replaced with 'W' like Elmer Fudd. ie: Wascily Wabbit. However, there are some exceptions. Like the word "are" or "ore" Sound it out with the r, then the w. If it doesn't sound like the original word anymore, don't replace it the r with a W. Also, the letter "L" is commonly replaced with 'W' when it sounds right.

Now, as for the rhyming scheme, there is such thing as a "saturation" point. Where it just becomes overbearing and plain dumb to have so many words that rhyme. You're a Taru Taru, not Dr Seusse.

Anything that can be rhymed, will most likely be rhymed. It's very common that the rhyme word begin with 'W' (or R, which becomes a 'w' due to the lingusitic rules) ie: Batty-watty.

It's also common for the rhymed word to end in 'y' to make it more cute sounding I suppose.

I also see this alot. If the word "Taru" was not used anywhere in a paragraph or set statement, then the last word in the -speech- will automaticly have Taru on the end. Though, it's hard not to have a single sentence that does not involve the word Taru.



Wespectaru my leety-weety skillz.

For example. :P

Hrm... I don't think I do taru-speak very much. Kinda gets on my nerves, but not quite as much as gangster or 1337 (which, to me, reads: one thousand, three hundred thirty seven). I'm most apt to speak in Shakespearian, even more so than abbreviated words. For one, I say, "Indeed," too much.

In my experience-werience, all my friends from homey-wome in Windurst speak their own ways! So notaru all of us add -taru to the end of words. You know there's a lady on the Fishing-wishing Guild docks that puts itaru in the middle! Thataru tangle-wangles my tongue too much. And some people make up words to add in, like that funny-wunny man who gave me my fancy-wancy Compound Eye Circlet-wirclet. He lives in Windurst Walls, by the bridge to Waters, so pay him a visitaru too!

Practice-wactice makes perfect, especially if you're like me, and grew up in another city-wity.

    A agree. Not all Taru speak the same. The variances are like the uniqueness of ones own personality.

    However, there is a greater majority of them that have some definite conventions when it comes to speech.

    I say, find what feels most comforatable with you.

    Alot of them like to use the word Taru in stuff, and they like to rhyme nouns and verbs.

    I don't use any Tarutaru speak except when I greet people on my LS. In that case I say Meeparu!! ^^.

    In case you're wondering my LS was wondering what a taru would say to greet someone. i.e. a Mithra would say "Meow". We just figured if a Mithra said meow then a Tarutaru would meep. The only other form of that we tried was Meep Meep! and Meepy~weepy!

    Still when I see people use Taru speak in a creative way I think it's really cool.

    Have you noticed all the "grown-up" Tarutaru NPCs talk the tarutaru talk and almost all of the children tarutaru NPCs talk like eloquent hume adults? :p

    Listen up all you damn ankle bitters, knee bitters, and shin kickers! Taru emotes are the most annoying of them all and they love doing it so much to attract attention cause they think they're so damn cute. But it's already getting old. All the little fudge packers are dancing and whoring themselves for gil these days. You need to just play the game and maybe then not so many people will hate you. They're also the ugliest race in the game, the closest to a demented dog. A foot and a half tall with a brown nose, floppy ears, a silly hair style, and most with stupid names. They bounce and waddle everywhere with their six inch legs and some how manage to have the same stride as everybody else. I think the developers must have been drunk when they designed you... some sort of sick joke. At least when you die, your face is straight down in the dirt where it belongs.
