Tendaji is a rich and diverse land filled with many different cultures and languages. While most travelers are fortunate enough to speak a common language, sometimes one might find themselves in a village where they can't communicate with the local population. How do you manage? Do you find someone to translate, or fumble along?
[ Tendaji has many different languages that the locals speak, and sometimes you might find yourself in a village or town where no one is speaking your language. Use this prompt to explore that miscommunication - maybe thinking about how hard it is to get your message across. Or connecting with a stranger who is helping you translate so you can make that purchase you need. What happens when everything is lost in translation? ]

Everyday that Mina spent in Matori her grasp of the local language was growing. She'd been doing her best to learn from Ninaeleth and her family, which meant conversing more with the community around them and it was inevitable that an incident would occur. Mina was, after all, a foreigner with a language that didn't sync up with the local dialect and shopping could be...problematic, at best.
"Spit it out already, girl! If you aren't going to buy something then get moving." The stall owner glared down at the smaller Hapuna, but Mina wouldn't budge. She was just as frustrated, if not more so, because she knew what she wanted she just couldn't say it.
"It's...It's long and-" She tried to make the shape, but he just rolled his eyes at her. Well, she wasn't going to take that! "Stop that! If you would just listen-"
"I'm trying to, but I can barely understand every third word out of your mouth!"
