Villagers with different nationalities?

[stiney]

I keep thinking of Cousteau saying “oi oi” instead of “oui oui” because of a stream I watched last night lol

:takes notes for next time he asks for a new catchphrase:

 

[Uffe]

Oh. I thought this was going to be a topic about characters with certain names or their physical appearances. I think these are just things some characters say. Before Marshal moved in, he said Buongiorno, but he also said Guten Tag.

 

[Lotusblossom]

Yes in the English version of the game, but in the French version Tex's catchphrase is a French expression

Ooooo I see... hmmm

Freya says uff da which is a Norwegian expression. Vladimir says nyet which is Russian for no.

I was wondering what the uff da was about!!!!

It is about that too ^_^

Vladimir The Cranky Cub's catchphrase is "Nyet," which is "No" in Russian.

I had always thought Pietro was Italian just because Pietro is an Italian name, but the fact that the smugs in NH now say that “Buongiorno! That’s Italian for it’s gonna be a great giorno!” line messes up that headcanon a bit lol. Although maybe you could say he’s just kidding when he says that and actually does know what it means.

Oh yes I forgot about Vladimir ! Also in French his name is Vladimir and he says "niet" haha

And there is also German characters like the two knights Sterling (called Manfred in French) and Knox (called Wolfram). Sterling's catchphrase is "kaputt" by the way Like Klaus whose catchphrase is "achtung" in French ahah


I think there is also a Russian related villager besides Vladimir

Freya !!! Maybe others too

 

[Aardbei]

Freya !!! Maybe others too

No, Freya is Luppa in French That name comes from the latin word for "wolf"

 

[Altarium]

No, Freya is Luppa in French That name comes from the latin word for "wolf"

Lupe is actually Whitney's name in Spanish and it comes from the same word, how interesting!

 

[Aardbei]

Lupe is actually Whitney's name in Spanish and it comes from the same word, how interesting!

And Whitney is called Blanche in French, while Blanche the ostrich in English is called Sophie in French

 

[Lotusblossom]

No, Freya is Luppa in French That name comes from the latin word for "wolf"

Oh she says uff da though

 

[Uffe]

It is about that too ^_^

When Marshal said Guten Tag, I said, "Yeah, now you've got no choice to leave this island. You're moving in."

 

[Ananas Dragon]

Tex speaks spanish so i was wondering if any other residents spoke different languages?? I'm hoping one speaks italian...
Update raymond speaks italian all.panicotti and pancetti are italian like... what other residents have different nationalities themes!?!?!

I can confirm marshal speaks spanish and italian haha

 

[Fye]

Not dialogue related, But Eric is a moose and his house is winter themed so he's pretty much Canadian

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

Klaus is clearly Roman/Greek themed, yet his name is German...

I think Olaf is also Spanish influenced. And Marcel and Pietro are based on famous French mimes/clowns.

 

[cloudmask]

ankha is egyptian, but that one is pretty obvious haha

off the top of my head, lopez and lobo have spanish names!

Boris is also Egyptian!!!

 

[stiney]

Oh she says uff da though

Freya is a Scandinavian goddess and she says "uff da," that's definitely meant to be a Scandinavian country like Norway.

 

[cheezu]

The smugs sometimes say things in different languages.
That's about it. It's only specific to the personality type - not the actual villagers.

 

[virtualpet]

Off the top of my head, Stella has an Italian name. Her phrase is baa-dabing, so maybe Italian American? I'm Italian myself and she kind of reminds me of some of my aunts haha
