"French Translations..." , posted Tue 22 Jul 20:41

I was wondering what the appropriate translations would be for:

-chain (such as chaining a prisoner)
-unchain (same but in reverse)
-redemption

BTW, is Pare-tonnre or Partinelle a real french word (Ruby Heart's super: seen it spelled different ways...)

Here we go :

-chain: since it is a latin-based word, it's almost the same in french, we say "enchaîner"
-unchain : désenchaîner
-redemption: again, it's the same, redemption. However prononciation differs.

And yes, paratonnerre is a real word meanning lightning-rod. I never managed to see the relation with Ruby's super.

Or, in real french, "libérer" (free). I never heared anyone use désenchaîner, even though the word exists (it's in my bescherelle, that is)
About Ruby... Hmmm... I don't know, she's... Canadian, maybe? From some sort of out of space transgenic antarctic Canada, maybe?

EDIT : I thought she said "partenaire" in her super?

Damn you !

ZamIAma asked for the translation of "unchain" not "free". I never heard "unchain" in real life to, but the word exist and so does "désenchaîner".
Thus, you should leave the "real french" stuff to real people, you know the one who have a real social life and can hear other real people use real words...

You know, this is mean. I should never have told you about the parapara of the onmyôji.
Anyway, I have to go now, I have to practice their choregraphy.

I did mean the literal translation and not "free" but thanks. I think Ruby does say "partenaire". Like I said, I've seen her moves (mis)spelled different ways. I was roughly asuming that this meant "partner" or something similar.

And you were not wrong, that's what it means. Thus, partner makes more sense than lightening-rod...
