Tyrannian-Enlgish Dictionary.....Please review

[mikki]

<P>Gal-a-ugga-Tyrannia! Or, welcome to Tyrannia, whichever you prefer. This is my homeland, and one of the oldest Neopian worlds. Though it is visited daily by many Neopians, almost none of them have bothered to pick up the language. I myself am fluent, but many others struggle on a daily basis when coming to pick up some omelette, or to see their favorite band in concert. It is for this reason that I have created this Tyarannian-English dictionary. In it, I have put the basic linguistic tools and Tyrannia that you’ll need to understand. Many people think that throwing a whole bunch of ugghs and uggas together is the whole Tyrannian language, but there’s a lo more to it than that </P>

<P>If you visit the plateau, most of the people there speak English. However, if you visit any of the shops, or venture into the villages, knowing Tyrannian will be quite necessary. I mean, imagine trying to haggle for a price when you don’t speak the language, or asking for directions. .</P>

<P><B>Phrases:</B></P>

<P>Ugga here a-ugga Tyrannia: Click here to go back to Tyrannia. [This is easy to remember because most of the shop keepers say this.] </P>

<P>Gal-aka-aka-bo! Nah-de: Welcome to the big shop of petpets. [You could also say petpet shop, but shop of petpets is a more literal and accurate translation.]</P>

<P>Uggh-Ugga-Ugg: Local food. [This is one of our more complicated phrases because uggh, ugga, and ugg have about 50 different meanings each, that’s partially why Tyrannian is so hard to learn.]</P>

<P>Ahh-aka-aka-gal: Welcome to the shop of furniture. [This would also be worded differently in english, but this is a more exact translation].</P>

<P>Ekk-aggh: Tickets gone. [This is the phrase used to say “The tickets are all sold out”.]</P>

<P>Gal-aka-fyaaaar: Welcome to the shop of lethal weapons.</P>

<P>Ekka-ugg: Where’s the washroom?

<P><B>Words</B></P>

<P>Tyranu: Higher</P>

<P>Evavu: Lower</P>

<P>Gal: Welcome</P>

<P>Ekk: Ticket(s)</P>

<P>Aggh: Gone</P>

<P>Nah-de: Petpet</P>

<P>Bo: Big/ large</P>

<P>Aka-aka: Shop/store [aka is short form for aka-aka, but it still means the same thing].</P>

<P>Fyar: Weapon</P>

<P>Fyaar: Lethal/dangerous weapon [the more As that are added, the more lethal the weapon is.]</P>

<P>Ugg, uggh, and ugga all have about 50 meanings each. Therefore, I will not go into those words. Just remember to be <I>very</I> careful when using these words.</P>

<P>Well that’s it. I hope that you have learned to something, and that you will

An article on pretty much the same topic has already been written before... off the top of my head, I think it was by relationshipper, but I'm not certain... but anyway, you may want to check that one out and make sure that yours is different enough...

[Lappi]

It's pretty good . . . maybe a bit short, but pretty good.

[noremac9]

Actually, I believe there were several articles like that. They were written near each other, it was one of those little fad things. You might want to check to see if yours is too much like some of the others.

[thenoveliststrikes]

I like it, very entertaining. ;D

It's pretty cool, but I checked how many word you have, and you have 396, when the minimum for an article is 1,000, and the then you also havet subtract the <p>'s if you actually want to know the real amount of words. Other than that, I'd say it's pretty good.

I don't think there's a set minimum, and publication really (I believe from experience) depends more on quality than quantity. You just have to say something.

I guess your probably right if your story is good, but when you get the reply message from neopets saying that your story is being read, you scroll down and it'll say the rules for each story/article/comic. There it says that you must have at least 1,000 words. But if it's a good article, they would definetly bend the rules.

Oh. I've gotten an auto-reponse only once, and they might have changed it since then...wait...let me ggo digging into my e-mail to see if I saved it as a historic moment.

Nope. Oh, well.

[Deleted]

Oh, I was sort of maybe a little wrong, it just tells you to TRY to get 1,000. Here we go...
Articles - Is there something new going on in Neopia? New game, world
and/or item(s)? Something weird going on? Think you have some tips
that would benefit other Neopians? Make sure you either paste your text
right into the e-mail or attach your file (.doc or .txt) to your e-mail.
Shoot for around 1,000 words or more. No maximum limit. Please enclose
your paragraphs in <p>...</p> tags. If you don't know what that means,
then don't worry about it.

[Tdyans]

Yep, it does just say "shoot for around 1,000 words or more," which means that if you write well enough and say all you need to say, you can most likely get away with less... but your chances are still probably better if you're pretty close to that "minimum" and 300-400 is probably a bit *too* much less. There's probably more you can find to say in order to flesh it out a little.
