Originally posted by NordlysYes. The way it works out is as follows. arf arf is said for emphassis when gretting another walrus. It's like saying, hello hello. So I just put the normal version so as to not complicate things. Goodbye in walrussian translates literally to Ten Arfs and a Flop. To clarify, let's consider that a walrus in saying goodbye to another. The first line will be what the walrus says, the second will be its literal translation to english, and the third its real meaning.
I thought "hello" were "arf arf", and goodbye were ten arfs and a flop. That's what you told me. 😕
"arf"
"Ten Arfs and a Flop"
"Goodbye"
Does that clarify things?
The only sound walri can make is arf, and can vary the tone, loudness, and pitch to form meaning. Of course this is impossible to accomplish on a keyboard so complications arise.
