The full conversation in Proto-Indo-European between David and the Engineer

From Prometheus (2012)

You will find this nowhere else

[vitazor]

They speak PIE with the english accent.

I love how the engineer just looks so goddamn confused in this scene. The look on his face is just like Wtf how long have i been asleep?!

[lucarmin]

The Engineer looks more realistic than Weyland. Damn makeup fail

[claymcdermott]

Girl screaming about wanting to know details that would have made the movie make any f**ing sense. She speaks for the audience.

David's teacher, who appears in the movie in the form of a hologram, was a real expert in this matter - Dr. Anil Biltu from the London SOAS language center. He agreed to translate the phrase android.

David says the following: " / ida hman ə m a ɪ kja nam ṛ tuh zd ɛ: taha / … / gh ʷ ɪ vah-pjorn - ɪ ttham sas da: t ṛ kredah /". Which means, “This person is here because he doesn't want to die. He believes you can extend his life. ”

Please, my ancestors, forgive me, i didnt understand a single word XD

I find the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language very interesting. But everytime I listen to it, it sounds like hell. This one sounds even deeper than hell. Idk what that even could be, urban hell?!

*him* "I learnt Proto-Indo-European"
*me* _uses Google translate_

[Sybok]

blonde blue eyed robot that speaks Indo-European, glad Himmler didn't survive the war to get ideas from this movie lol

[nathanwiddowson]

So this is what movies would’ve been like if human technology advanced thousands of years before it did in our timeline

[Aajkuchtoofanikartehai.]

As an Indian, i only understood deva(god). Please, my ancestors, forgive me cus i only understood one word.

[DirtCobaine]

I wish we got a real part 2 of this instead of Covenant. This was a masterpiece of a movie and one of the most believable sci fi ancient alien films. I love how they look like Greek Gods. I would love to see more of them. They are among my favorite alien races and culture of any sci fi universe

[MagixVegasUser]

Just a sub-saharan watching aryans speak proto-indo-european

[yxcjeje]

Everything is cool, peops. Someone just needs to get Queen Elizabeth in here, she'll translate.

[wayner]

Was hoping for a translation. Though I didn't know it was in PIE 🥧 so that's cool.

[vanceofthetube]

My mother tongue isnt any of the Indo European languages, but to me PIE sounds like Russian or Eastern European languages I have heard in Hollywood movies.

[AdamFazari]

I realized now that proto Indo European was spoken only 7000 to 5000 years ago. Like did the engineers miss out on human language development or something 😅

[zephyrna]

So many people in the comments criticizing the use of Indo-European. Its like they cant fathom the concept of a movie putting the most distant ancestors of Europeans on a pedestal.

[DoomShrm]

the words seem like every other pie language but the accent is verrryy germanic.

[Anuclano]

I did not understand a single word (either English or PIE). It looks tдшлу here was a word "stātor", but I may be wrong (in PIE the word would mean the one who got up or stood)
