How to adapt Shakespearian Style in German DISCO ELYSIUM? Fairy tales!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DRAMA talks in a Shakespearian style in Disco Elysium, addressing Harry with "sire" and using the pronouns thou/thee on occasion. It makes sense for a skill that belongs on the *stage of the world*.
However, Shakespeare is very specific to the English language. How to adapt this into German?
German SCHAUSPIELKUNST (Art of Acting) uses a different set of pronouns and vocabulary, and evokes something else: GERMAN FAIRY TALES.
The pronouns are Euer/Ihr, a polite pronoun only to be used in plural cases - the Pluralis Majestatis. Old monarchy used to refer to themselves with we.
The royal we, majestic plural (pluralis majestatis), or royal plural, is the use of a plural pronoun (or corresponding plural-inflected verb forms) used by a single person who is a monarch or holds a high office to refer to themselves.
So if you address a king, you have to use plural pronouns Euer/Ihr in return, SCHAUSPIELKUNST does so. And of course, calls you "Majestät" (majesty), instead of "sire".
Tumblr media
In combination with Euer/Ihr, it evokes the image of a Court Jester, talking to his King. The style of writing sounds "old", medieval even, one that you normally encounter a fairy tale, like how characters talk in a Brothers Grimm story, for example. (Since Germany has no monarchy to speak of, you will pretty much encounter "Eure Majestät" in fairy tales, fictional stories and history books.)
To me, that is a triple whammy of a localisation:
Switching Shakespeare to Brothers Grimm is a great style baton pass that keeps the cultural significance: classic literature that is recognisable to the reader as something old and long-gone, but still linked to the theatrical and story-telling.
Addressing Harry itself with a plural pronoun is great, as he has many voice skills in his head. SCHAUSPIELKUNST recognises that Harry is in fact a *multitude* of characters, like its portrait shows.
Literal KING, SLAYYYYYYYY

i gotta say one of my fave things about language is when you add random syllables to words or add nonsense words that rhyme
like for example, our girl cat is called minou but sometimes i'll call her "minoutschi". and then instead of saying "minou, du" i'll say "minoutschi dutschi". and when i'm feeling extra silly or loving i'll add a nonsense word, so i'll sweep her off the ground and pet her and say "minoutschi dutschi wutschi"
or sometimes she'll meow outside in the hallway, then wander in my room and start purring loudly while rolling around the ground (she does that when she gets clingy and really wants affection). and so i'll start petting her and she'll be purring and i'll say "du schnurrli wurli" (schnurrli/schnurli is a very common cat name based on the word "schnurren" which means "to pur". which is why it's my affectionate nickname for her when she's purring lol)

So my partner @kaihoney quoted the "no little german boy" meme a few times on call and TIL it originated on Tumblr and that makes me very happy. Sincerely, a little german girl

My betrothed works for a guy from Germany, but he doesn’t really have an accent when speaking English. They just told me that sometimes he’ll put on a pretend accent though, like, “oh mein Gott, vhy iz this not verking?”
