Ouw Se on Coq: EXPLAINED

[Gottheim]

Ouw se on coq e coq la se rwa an le pil fimie ay.

Finished the Hearts of Stone DLC a short while ago, and I happen to know exactly what language that sentence is in, and what it means.

In fact I was rather surprised to find that (at least to my knowledge) no one had posted a proper translation yet, after nearly a year of the expansion being out.

It's Guadeloupean Creole, a.k.a a dialect spoken only on one tiny island in the French Caribbean, which I happen to hail from. It draws heavily from French, as some people might have figured out. It is also fairly obscure outside of the Caribbean, so imagine my surprise when I heard something spoken in it, in a Polish video game, no less! To say nothing of the creepily accurate accent and pronunciation.

TL;DR the translation is as follows:
Ouw se on coq e coq la se rwa an le pil fimie ay
You are a c*ck (rooster), and atop his pile of manure, the c*ck is king.

G.o.D is basically calling Geralt an arrogant fool (in French culture at least, roosters are a symbol of pride), who can't even begin to grasp his own insignificance.

This has been explained a year ago.

I'm aware of those threads and the discussions therein, but they only give a translation of the Georgian bits, with which I can't help at all anyway. I'm only offering an explanation of the very first sentence Gaunter says when Geralt pulls him out of the water.

This has been discussed before. Please remember the game was released 16 months ago and while it may be new to you, it's not new to most people here.

Interestingly others have other takes on what he says.

None of what you said had anything to do with what he said. Never post a comment again, please.
