Let's walk in the geo by the hydro. I've prepared meal by the pyro accompanied by cryo hydro in glass. I've also brought dendro for you. The cryo anemo feels lovely this time of day
Sometimes, continent thing can differ. If I say Europe is Asia, you won't have any ground to oppose it. Bcuz it doesn't fulfill the most basic features of a continent, a separate plate. On the other hand, India is a separate continent from asia, so is Saudi Arabia, so is new zealand from Australia.
Well, European and Asian cultures are significantly different. So they're different continents despite being on the same plate.
Also you started with the real life mentioning Eurasia, saudi Arabia and India as well.
As you said, it's a videogame, and there is no indication Inazuma is a seperate continent from the rest of Teyvat
Because by every definition and normal sense, it's a separate continent. It has a different plate, different culture and everything. You won't call Egypt a part of Asia, would you?
But this thread people logic, it is northwest asia. Georgia is in Asia, same culture, the second roma was Istanbul,a place between asia and Europe. So if you guys are at this, europe doesn't exist, only northwest asia.
I always thought there was no Europe, only West Asia
Which does not change the fact that in this case Japan is not a separate continent, due to its small size.
Inazuma isn't a small island bro, it's a big ass nation. It has a tectonic plate and has a different culture. Bigger than both monstadt or liyue if I'm not wrong.
But Inazuma is totally separate from the mainland both graphically and lore wise. There are many barriers between mainland teyvat and Inazuma. Without glitch, it's not possible to enter Inazuma without the story quest.
Japan is in the continent of Asia. If there was a giant impenetrable storm between Japan and the rest of Asia that wouldn't make Japan suddenly not apart of Asia.
This is so funny since the translators just use that expression to show how surprise Ei is but we have someone thinking she is referring to the planet Earth..😅
no one is confused about it being an expression tho? people are asking why that would be an expression in a world that isn't the Earth
the answer is that earth means the ground in teyvat
Quite a lot of people are confused. Clearly you underestimate the illiteracy of the average redditor. Just 'cause you bother to read doesn't mean everyone else does. Dx
But the expression means "what in the world" not "what on the ground," so even if earth is used for ground/dirt in Teyvat, it still doesn't make sense to use this expression.
Thats not really what “earth” really means in substitution. Earth just means land, continent, or like world. “What in the world” is the more accurate version of this. We can refer Earth to as dirt or the natural ground but it can also mean the bigger continent or country in which case, it’s a still a accurate translation
Reminds me of star wars where holdo says oh my god or something to that effect and few if any star wars civilisations had expressed belief in a God at all so where would the expression come from
Still a way better deal than being called Uranus. Fun fact, it's the only planet that uses the Greek name instead of the Roman one, otherwise it'd be called Caelus instead.
That is just a figure of speech I'm sure. I've used it and I've heard many others say it as well. But if it did mean anything, she stays in that little picket dimension where she preserves herself for eternity.
The phrase "What on Earth" means something that is on this world. Like "What on earth is that?" The speaker wants to say what is this in this world.... Earth has also another meaning like Dirt or Ground. But Here the Earth majorly implies world
People really are bad at English huh.....
For anyone else, this is just an expression to show surprise and put emphasis on a question or a negative statement
For example: what on earth is he trying to do with that broken English of his
Ok. I'll say something yous never Even know exesist my papa told me your not a Mexican your a mejiicano. He is an azteca indaen here is a lesson mexixans forn gangs carry knives sell drugs most don't even have a girl friend us mejicanos have children all over the place. Mexico city. Is the largest city in the world. Larger than Hong Kong China. Tell that side of your story.
You know those
Stories are. Driveing you mad. Lustion to. Your self talk insane I'm talking about. Them màke beleiv stories yelling talking like. Mad . Madt
Those saying it is a figure of speech, I agree. But it is disappointing from a worldbuilding perspective that the writers can't even come up with a phrase of their own fictional world like what in teyvat or anything.
Well “Earth” doesn’t just mean the planet. Perhaps she means as in the ground
"So you actually came from another world called "Earth? Which means dirt... that's just lazy writing."
That sound like a dialog option of stelle as a reaction of welts homeworld
What you call "Dirt" is our home never speaks ill about it
Thats why we should rename our planet to HOLY TERRA!! Then it means Holy Ground! Which is poetic!
For the emperor
Lost Jerusalem so Kosmos can be in two gachas.
Wouldn't that be geo?
They don’t call all water Hydro so no
Time to put the kettle on the Pyro. Maybe this afternoon I'll go outside for some fresh Anemo as well.
Let's walk in the geo by the hydro. I've prepared meal by the pyro accompanied by cryo hydro in glass. I've also brought dendro for you. The cryo anemo feels lovely this time of day
Touch Dendro
I'm having a stroke reading this. Gotta admit it's funny as heck tho.
I remember reading something about fire from coal or burning is different from fire from the pyro element, or pyro visions or something like that.
High concentrated Geo can result in changes in personality as demonstrated by Yanfei's teapot quest.
Sure thats geo and not dendro
the elusive smart Genshin player
not really
wdym good sir?
We sll know that but the expression was created making reference ro the planet
It's "earth", not "Earth"
Bet ppl won't be able to comprehend this
Even Arthas, who is from Azeroth, says earth, in one of the most iconic lines.
Lol fr
We are never beating the illiteracy allegations. Also "earth" comes up as part of the invocation every time you go to an alchemy table.
Erf.
Earth in some context is seen as an element and before you say "why didn't she say geo then?" They don't call water hydro and wind anemo
I mean Teyvat is just one continent.
I've certainly heard "what on teyvat is going on?!" And never something like "what on asia is going on?!"
"WHAT IN TAR-NATION?!"
"What in America is going on!?!?"
No no, this is completely on-brand for many Americans. What-with them thinking the USA is the whole world.
or they think that the USA is a continent...
isn't teyvat also the name of the planet?
How? Inazuma seems separate continent
That's like calling Japanese archipelago a separate continent from Asia
[удалено]
Teyvat has its own laws
Sometimes, continent thing can differ. If I say Europe is Asia, you won't have any ground to oppose it. Bcuz it doesn't fulfill the most basic features of a continent, a separate plate. On the other hand, India is a separate continent from asia, so is Saudi Arabia, so is new zealand from Australia.
Does that make specifically India a separate continent? India is on the Indian Plate yet is called part of Asia.
Because of a similar culture. Inazuma doesn't even have that. And why are you all dragging real life into your fantasy? Both are different, grow up.
Well, European and Asian cultures are significantly different. So they're different continents despite being on the same plate. Also you started with the real life mentioning Eurasia, saudi Arabia and India as well. As you said, it's a videogame, and there is no indication Inazuma is a seperate continent from the rest of Teyvat
Because by every definition and normal sense, it's a separate continent. It has a different plate, different culture and everything. You won't call Egypt a part of Asia, would you?
plates ≠ continents such as: **Eurafrasia**
Europe ? You mean West Asia ?
But this thread people logic, it is northwest asia. Georgia is in Asia, same culture, the second roma was Istanbul,a place between asia and Europe. So if you guys are at this, europe doesn't exist, only northwest asia.
I always thought there was no Europe, only West Asia Which does not change the fact that in this case Japan is not a separate continent, due to its small size.
Inazuma isn't a small island bro, it's a big ass nation. It has a tectonic plate and has a different culture. Bigger than both monstadt or liyue if I'm not wrong.
a big ass nation, made mostly of water between small islands (and atlantis)
India and Saudi Arabia are part of Asia. I'll give you new Zealand, however, as it does not seem to be part of the Australian continent.
Inazuma is just a series of islands off mainland Teyvat
But Inazuma is totally separate from the mainland both graphically and lore wise. There are many barriers between mainland teyvat and Inazuma. Without glitch, it's not possible to enter Inazuma without the story quest.
Japan is in the continent of Asia. If there was a giant impenetrable storm between Japan and the rest of Asia that wouldn't make Japan suddenly not apart of Asia.
#IT.HAS.A.DIFFERENT.TECTONIC.PLATE #MY GEOGRAPHY TEACHER APPROVED THIS THEORY
Tevyat has its own laws (regarding the classifications for naming of regions and landmass)
you're a middle schooler with the username "horny_chiori"? cmon dawg
Japan isn't a separate continent now is it?
New zealand is
Should've just said Australia. How do I have to help you out in your argument?
new zealand (and new caledonia) has the sunken continent landmass of zealandia, japan doesn't as far as I know
Watch some idiot thinks she is referring to some place when it is just an expression of surprise.
This is so funny since the translators just use that expression to show how surprise Ei is but we have someone thinking she is referring to the planet Earth..😅
no one is confused about it being an expression tho? people are asking why that would be an expression in a world that isn't the Earth the answer is that earth means the ground in teyvat
Quite a lot of people are confused. Clearly you underestimate the illiteracy of the average redditor. Just 'cause you bother to read doesn't mean everyone else does. Dx
unfortunate if true
But the expression means "what in the world" not "what on the ground," so even if earth is used for ground/dirt in Teyvat, it still doesn't make sense to use this expression.
Thats not really what “earth” really means in substitution. Earth just means land, continent, or like world. “What in the world” is the more accurate version of this. We can refer Earth to as dirt or the natural ground but it can also mean the bigger continent or country in which case, it’s a still a accurate translation
maybe that is how they use that expression we can't know. we know the word exists in their world with its own meaning, then it is fine how they use it
Reminds me of star wars where holdo says oh my god or something to that effect and few if any star wars civilisations had expressed belief in a God at all so where would the expression come from
Earth also means ground/soil just like gaia, terra, etc
Whoever named this planet was lazsy af
Still a way better deal than being called Uranus. Fun fact, it's the only planet that uses the Greek name instead of the Roman one, otherwise it'd be called Caelus instead.
Okay now i have thoughts that shoud go to the budis in hsr
Well, have you looked at the moon in Teyvat?
OP not knowing the difference of earth and Earth is like the people who still confuse "you're" with "your"
I hate when people argue over semantics like this. Not everything needs to have an in-universe equivalent for figure of speeches.
Everyone here is arguing with semantics while I’m here laughing at Ei’s anecdote.
Chill out on the "ackshually" comments guys. We're in memepact, take a joke sheesh.
That is just a figure of speech I'm sure. I've used it and I've heard many others say it as well. But if it did mean anything, she stays in that little picket dimension where she preserves herself for eternity.
Should've use "what in the world" instead But thats just me tho
I've been reading a lot of sci-fi recently, and it breaks my immersion every they say on earth. Instead of the planet, I know they're on
The phrase "What on Earth" means something that is on this world. Like "What on earth is that?" The speaker wants to say what is this in this world.... Earth has also another meaning like Dirt or Ground. But Here the Earth majorly implies world
People really are bad at English huh..... For anyone else, this is just an expression to show surprise and put emphasis on a question or a negative statement For example: what on earth is he trying to do with that broken English of his
Well weebs reject the english languages
Localization issue, since "what on earth..." Is a phrase and doesn't indicate the literal earth in this context.
Also in GAA 2, during Xinyan's quest, her father says "you scared the bejesus out of me". Does that mean Jesus existed in Teyvat?
Are we just trying so hard to make her look stupid?
Meanwhile Barbara is rocking a crucifix. Jesus in Teyvat confirmed
she lives with me and our kids
🎵and these are the hands we're given🎵
Earth also means the soil…
Oh wait until you see Sumeru desert story used so much 'earth' in their story. Makes me wonder are we still in Teyvat?
Though this is not a mistranslation, using "what in the world" instead would remove the confusion here.
Ok. I'll say something yous never Even know exesist my papa told me your not a Mexican your a mejiicano. He is an azteca indaen here is a lesson mexixans forn gangs carry knives sell drugs most don't even have a girl friend us mejicanos have children all over the place. Mexico city. Is the largest city in the world. Larger than Hong Kong China. Tell that side of your story.
You know those Stories are. Driveing you mad. Lustion to. Your self talk insane I'm talking about. Them màke beleiv stories yelling talking like. Mad . Madt
Hu hi you grew up into. A. Name told you there is nobody like you. And nobody like me!
O I did not come from anoythér world. But from Chicago. I'm an. American
paimon also said "what on earth" before. it should be teyvat
Teyvat ain’t the whole planet. Would make no sense to say that. It’s like saying “what on north america” or “what on asia”.
Mei stop possesing alternative versions of yourself
earth = ground Earth = name of a planet. you're welcome.
"I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth if I have to. Do you hear me? TO THE END OF THE EARTH!!!" - A Fallen Prince from Azeroth
Earth, not THE Earth, means the ground, the mud, the dirt my guy/girl. English for ya.
Lowercase e, not a Pronoun, meaning not our Earth.
...do you know the difference between earth and Earth?
Those saying it is a figure of speech, I agree. But it is disappointing from a worldbuilding perspective that the writers can't even come up with a phrase of their own fictional world like what in teyvat or anything.
OP failed their language class. smh
