This doesn't have much to do with KotOR because I can't think of any backwards talking characters (I'm sure Vandar has correct grammar) but I guess inspired from raising Jar Jar Binks in the Favourite Alien thread.

 

Just a simple light-hearted poll on who you think has the worst grammar when speaking Basic.

Yoda: Talk funny, I do.

Yoda: Talk backwards I may, but sound terrible I do not

 

 

(Anyone know why Yoda talks backwards and Vandar does not?)

Never trust a Jedis with bad grammars...

(Voted for Jar Jar.)

My theory is that Yoda is severely dislexic. So bad in fact that words not only get jumbled when he reads, but also when he talks.

Meesa hates Jar Jar and Gungens. Their form of communication is irrating.

Meesa seconds you proposal Gabrielle

 

Gungens must die!!

I actually enjoy the way Yoda talks.... Meesa have to go with Jar Jar

I'd say Jar Jar Binks has slightly better grammar than Yoda but that voice of his makes it sound a lot worse...

 

I dug up my Jedi Outcast and pieced together the cutscene between the Chiss Bartender and Kyle Katarn (since some people said in a previous Nar Shaddaa poll they haven't played JO before).

 

This GameSpot guy must've had the ugly shadow option on

 

jo_bartender.mp3

 

K = Kyle, B = Bartender

 

K: Bartender? (is ignored) BARTENDER!?

B: Ah, Jedis! I had no ideas! What can I do for you, honored Jedis?

K: I'm no Jedi. I'm just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions.

B: Of course. Many peoples have them.

K: Lightsabers?

B: Questions. Hows abouts a Ruby Bliels?

K: Corellian ale...in a clean glass.

B: Of course, sirs. (gets the drink) Now, you seek informations?

K: What do you know about Reelo Baruk?

B: A respected waste disposal managers. This very establishment contracts with him to remove our garbages.

K: Where does he take your 'garbages'?

B: Who cares? Out of sight, out of minds, says us.

K: And it's all strictly legit, right?

B: As legitimate as anything on Nar Shaddaa, Mr. "Just-A-Guy".

K: Do you know where I can find Baruk?

B: Trulies?

K: Trulies.

B: Wait here. I get him for you.

(a blast shield then closes around the bar)

K: Never trust a bartender with bad grammar.

With bad grammar, never trust a bartender.

Jar Jar Binks- ye gods how I loathe him

 

Yoda IS cool

Jar Jar is kewl and funny....

 

exuezze me for saying this but i dont think he is any worse that c-3po and r2-d2 in forced humour department

I don't mind Yoda speech. It's unique.

Yoda's is probably the worst, but I like his messed-up word order. Jar-Jar is just annoying though, so my vote goes to him, and I have no idea who the bartender is, never having played Jedi Outcast, only Jedi Academy.

I've played Outcast and Acadamy, I prefer Acadamy. I still play it from time to time whereas I only played Outcast once and didn't see any replay value to it. Granted that Acadamies is kinda' low, but it does have some.

Well if you have a bunch of SP character mods it adds a lot of replay value to it.

 

MP is what I play the most though.

 

But on-topic though, Gungans have the worst grammar alive.

Edited December 1, 200520 yr by Ioini

Yoda is cool! I can sound just like him. Is backwards grammar add to the character I think. That and his size.

 

I think the bartender had the worse. But (to those who have played it) once Kyle kicks butt and gets the blast sheild open, and thrusts his saber i the guys face, the chiss starts talking normaly! The grammar was just a ploy.

Actually no:

(after the fighting and stuff)

"Please noble Jedis, not in the faces! Reelo's offices on higher levels, follow the garbage collectors."

 

Yoda: I say worse because I think Backwards Talking >> Wrong Plurals

Jar Jar: "The annoying voice clouds our judgement"

Chiss: It is bad grammar but not as bad as backwards talking Yoda - I find the whole dialog with Katarn very memorable though.

Edited December 2, 200520 yr by dufflover

Jar Jar's grammar is most likely to interfere with communication, especially with a non-native speaker, so I'd suggest his is worst. Yoda's changes in word order matter little, especially since he speaks so slowly.

Jar Jar. Very annoying in speech and action. He ruined EP1 for me.

Correct, Yoda's grammar is. When into Russian translated, at least.

Edited December 2, 200520 yr by Sikon

I like Jar Jar.

 

"Mesa dona know. Mesa start day fine munchin, then bam! Mesa here!

 

"Ye gods! What the hell is mesa sayin!

ya, jar jar is the worst. <_<

 

 

yoda, i like.

 

yoda is the best. :cool:

Jar Jar sucks for all eternity

There's just somethings about that Chiss bartenders. I keep loadings that audio every now and agains. Maybe I'ms just pleased at how well I mixed it alls.
