Bilingual Bonus/Bilingual Dialogue: Difference between revisions

For whatever reason, two or more characters can't manage to speak the others' language in anything better than heavily mangled, imprecise gobbledygook. However, all involved can understand the others' language when spoken, even if they can't speak it well themselves. (They're reading the subtitles.) This results in unnervingly cool, creepy, or cantankerous scenes depending on the set up, as you have two people listening and responding to each other in completely different languages, creating what is essentially a Bilingual Dialogue and acting as interpreters to any third parties present.

 

 

 

'n Algemene toepassing van hierdie trope (buiten in komedies) is in speur- of spioenverhale, waar dit die ekwivalent van 'n eenseidige telefoongesprek uitmaak. Die kyker moet dus die heeltyd bly raai oor wat die hel aangaan.
