Translate English to Trigedasleng, the constructed language from The 100 TV series, or convert Trigedasleng back to English.
Trigedasleng is the language spoken by the Grounders in the post-apocalyptic TV series The 100. Created by David J. Peterson, it evolved from English over 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse. The language features simplified grammar, phonetic spelling, and vocabulary derived from modern English slang and contractions.
Trigedasleng simplifies English by dropping articles (the, a, an), using phonetic spellings ("yu" for "you", "ai" for "I"), and creating compound words. Common phrases include "Jus drein jus daun" (blood must have blood) and "Mebi oso na hit choda op nodotaim" (maybe we will meet again someday). The language reflects the Grounders' warrior culture and survival-focused society.
I am a warrior
Ai laik wamplei
May we meet again
Mebi oso na hit choda op nodotaim
Blood must have blood
Jus drein jus daun
Your fight is over
Yu gonplei ste odon
Ai laik Heda
I am the Commander
Essential phrases include greetings like "Heya" (hello) and "Reshop" (goodbye), as well as cultural expressions like "Jus drein jus daun" (blood must have blood) and "Yu gonplei ste odon" (your fight is over). The language uses "ai" for I, "yu" for you, "em" for him/her, and "oso" for we/us.
