Playing Genshin in Chinese, I find that the World Quests are by far the most difficult content for me. First it’s not voiced, and then it introduces a lot of concepts and lore related to the region. I really want to understand all Natlan lore in Chinese only, so I’ll do my best to study 5.x world quests and not switch back to English.

I’ll post my study notes here, it’s a good motivation for me, and I can consult vocab easily when needed!

It’s all going to be under CW, but if you want to filter it out, I’ll use

Genshin DC “Saurian vs Mountain”

特拉忒 Tèlātè: Tlatem
奇卡 qíkǎ: Tlatem’s Yumkasaur

Tlatem uses 它 to talk about his companion, and similarly to our tepetlisaur, we don’t know if they are male or female.

Overall, this dialogue is super easy. Even with unknown words, it was easy to guess the meaning.
The only difficult part was when Tlatem says that Qika is still weak and cannot:

在悬崖旁边窜来窜去

悬崖 xuányá: overhanging cliff, precipice
窜 cuàn: scurry.

Qika cannot scurry around near the cliffs.

There’s really not much vocab to note, but Tlatem mentioned several persons, and I’m very bad at remembering names, so I’ll note them here:

亚瓦尔 Yàwǎěr: Tatlem calls him Yawaer uncle. He provided advice.
马伊塔 Mǎyītǎ: Tatlem’s friend. He is good at 攀岩 pānyán: rock-climb. Tatlem thinks he can help them arrange a training plan.
洛娅 Luòyá: One of the rare persons who can beat Mayita at climbing.

I’ll try to find them and talk to them. I still haven’t talked to all the NPCs, but so far, I understand them well enough to just enjoy the game without constantly looking up words :blob_grin:
