For Honor Ocelotl Translations

This one took a bit, and Nahuatl is a difficult language lol. If you're a Nahuatl speaker and have a different translation, lemme know in the comments.
Check out MasterJames: ‪@masterjames1935‬
Check out The Nahuatl Channel: ‪@thenahuatlchannel3896‬
Check out Ocelotl's Voice Actor, Rufino Romero: rufio4554?...

[@PotaterCat]

So Ocelotl’s voice lines actually have small references to modern Mexican slang. You may not know why he says certain things but it’s just a minor reference. Like when he says “good night” it’s similar to when we see someone get knocked out or messed up badly (or even die) we say “a mimir” or “esta dormido” or even as a threat “te duermo”. Also- before he says “cocoxqui” in the video, the unknown voice line almost sounds like he says “cuixzac” which means like “still?” Or “even yet?” which is basically him telling his opponent “you are dead, why are you still trying?” It’s pretty raw lol. Also Telpochtli is a god lol, he’s the god of youth so it makes sense why they thought they mean youth, but he is also the god of warriors. The 7 Suns is because Aztecs believed in the 5 suns, each sun hailed a new destruction and began life with a clean slate, Aztecs believed they lived in the 5th one of these eras. In For Honor lore there was the original cataclysm (the 6th sun) and ragnarok that Jorm brought (second cataclysm and 7th sun). Lastly he yells light bc he’s describing his speed. Hope this helped!

[@ralkashira1437]

[@rodryduran3311]

JAJAJAJA no creo que vaya por ahí, pienso que va más por el tema de que hace referencia a la batalla por el día y la noche que libran quetzalcoatl y otro dios que no recuerdo ahora mismo pero tiene cabeza de jaguar creo, eso o solo les gustó como suena 🙃

[@iPhantom287]

Telpochtli is another name we use for Tezcatlipoca when he is in the form of a young warrior. “Cocoxqui” is an insult towards Europeans, it mean’s an ill or sick person. Chicuace Tonatiuh does not mean 7th Sun, but instead means 6th Sun. We believe Quetzalcoatl is going to come back, during this exact transition in time actually, and is destined to rule the 6th Sun. Chicome is 7, Chicuace is 6.

I mean it makes perfect sense In Mexico, we still have ancestors who can trace their roots back to the founding cultures and many of them still speak their native dialects (this is why Mexico has ~70 officially recognized languages). Nahuatl is still spoken by like ~1-1.5m Mexicans so it still has many people speaking and practicing the language The Medjay existed in a point in time that has been long forgotten so what we know about them paints a very incomplete picture. Medjay existed in like ~2000BC and Mexico was colonized (and Spanish rule took over) in the 1500s, one of them happened much recent enough to know more about one warrior or culture over the other

2:31 I choose to interpret this as a hard canonisation of For Honor’s timeline, namely that multiplayer is set two eras after the end of Aztec history.

[@Alyrael]

Well, two eras after it ended in reality, which is only, what, 104 years? So FH's "modern" time is some time in the 1600s if we're going with that. The Cataclysm must've happened way before the Conquistadors from Spain invaded, saving them for a good 100 years later until Horkos leadership learned of them. Well, "saving" them. Their population dropped dramatically from the Cataclysm, forcing them to move and rebuild with like a third of their people or something like that. Man, the Cataclysm really was a world-ending event, affecting everyone from Asia, to Europe, to the Americas. Crazy.

[@charmingman20]

There's an error in the translation, it's sixth sun not seventh sun, the end of the fifth was probably the cataclysm

[@jesusbrauliorosalesnunez1156]

Méxican here, obviously im not aztec, but here in México, for a really long long time, and even today, "good night" its a sarcastic form to say to someone who is gonna be OOF of existence ( you can say these phrases with anger too ), probably its just influence of the zone, idk if it was used in that time of history but for me at least, all the translations who you see as "unclear why just said that" can be use either for make fun of your opponent or anger when you are sure about to ban him for life, its like "hasta la vista, baby" from terminator but real Méxican slangs.

Well, it’s common in English to say “goodnight” as a catchphrase in the same way.
