are you normal or did you note down the puns in the act 1 event quest to compare between localizations

#so the thing is i heard there would be puns so i switched my text language to spanish again #and i caught 3 of them #the first is the va-iew-vyastra one #that one was pretty much the same in spa it was 'vayumatra' so i think it was just the 'matra' pun #the second in en was apparently 'ground nuts' #i find the spa one more related to the context of a.lbedo's suggestion to test out m.ondstadt native flora afterwards #it's 'valbayas' instead and he said it's bc 'vayas al suelo' tal vez despues de comer demasiado #i will admit that one coaxed an actual laugh out of me #valberry in spa text is valbaya -> baya means berry #but the pun is bc vaya and baya are pronounced almost the same way #the 'b' in baya in this case is an approximate of /b/ bc it appears in intervocalic position #and orthographic 'v' is pronounced as /b/ after a significant pause #idr if he was speaking quickly at this time but yeah #and 'vayas' is the 2nd person singular subjunctive form of 'ir' meaning 'to go' #so the gloss would probably be 'you fell to the ground' #bc she ate too many valberries #the third in en was 'c.ollei lily/flower' #in spa they did a diff pun and he said 'coleigas' como las colegas de c.ollei #it's a cognate so 'colleague' and 'c.ollei' #love these little changes in the localizations it makes me pay more attention to differences #i also mainly use cn voiceover. sometimes i switch to en for certain characters #i left the vo the same and boy was that a test of listening comprehension #unfortunately i'm not as proficient there so i could only pick out certain words and phrases #which was still fun ngl! i really took my time with this quest #i played it late in the day too so that's why this is late-ish #oh right and i was spiraling in the abyss earlier which put me in The worst mood but hey 36 stars we take those #if you read this essay. why. but yw that was your localization infodump for the day #unfortunately i cannot ramble about this anywhere so to the blog it goes #genshin spoilers #note
