Chapter 302 - 124. Relative Years_3
This silly little thing usually doesn’t interact with others, and her only social circle consists of Milica and Isabella in her dormitory. Could you expect her to talk much and realize that Lord Ramasitia’s given knowledge of language had flaws?
Could it be possible that the word Whale-man Species use to denote age is different from the word for a year, but she used the same word when translated into the Nali Language?
Mr. Fischer asked her to repeat the expressions for age and a year in the Whale-man language, and sure enough, he quickly heard a different pronunciation between the two words, a distinction even Moli herself hadn’t realized until she foolishly read out the two words with different meanings and sensed something was amiss.
"Wait, wait, wait... Mr. Fischer, are you saying that humans use the same algorithm to calculate age as they do for a year? One ’year’ equates to one ’age’ for you?"
Moli opened her mouth in surprise, as if her entire worldview had been profoundly shaken. She didn’t unravel the relationship therein until Mr. Fischer pointed it out to her.
