i want to know how to say a couple words: i have seen the letter/word "i" be spell a couple ways. this website says zu'u and ive seen zu being used. also "i am" has been used as "zu'u" and this website says "zu'u los" also in skyrim ive seen dragons say zu'u before and alduin has said zu'u alduin and im not sure if it would be "i alduin" which sounds awkward (atleast in english because im not used to the dragon language) and since ive seen it zu'u as i am i would think the proper translation would be zu'u alduin = i am alduin. also if im right how would you spell "am i"? or would this be "los zu" or "los zu'u"?

You're right: "Zu'u Alduin" is "I am Alduin." Here's a short explanation as to why. "Zu'u" is "I", not "I'm". The full sentence would be "Zu'u los Alduin". However, the Dragon Language likes to be brief, so most of the time "los" is cut. You'll see the same thing happen with the words for "the" and "a/an". The result is "Zu'u Alduin", or "I Alduin". It does sound awkward or primitive, but that's way it's phrased. Then, "Am I ..." would be "Los zu'u ...". |

Hello there! So I'm a little new to this site and I've been looking around but couldn't find the translation for either
"who are you?" Or "who am I?"
Any any idea what the translation could be? |

Aesa Happy to help! "Who are you?" would translate to "Wo los hi?", and "Who am I?" would translate to "Wo los zu'u?" |
