    I care! If you're going to demand that people kneel before you, you should really make sure you're saying it right. For all you know, you could be asking people to urinate on you. That wouldn't be very nice, now, would it? Let's just be sure. It's for your own good, after all.

    Ignorant being, ask any Spanish speaker and you'll see who's right. Zod never lies.

    I'm not accusing you of lying, I'm just saying that one of us must have been misinformed.

    xD

    I'm a "Spanish Speaker," and I claim that you are both wrong. Now, I'm not perfect at it, because I'm white, but I come up with:

    Se arrodilla ante Zod.

    The "arrodillarse" verb, which means "to kneel", needs to end in "a" in order to be a formal command. But that's just me. But BoB, you're completely wrong. Genuflexion is a noun, and he's looking for the command form.

    'Arrodillaos ante Zod' is the correct form. It's plural, it means "(you) kneel before Zod", and it's a command. 'Se arrodilla ante Zod' means "he/she kneels before Zod". Nice try anyways.

    And don't forget to kneel before Me.

    How is it a command, if all commands in Spanish end in "a?" I understand that "Se arrodilla ante Zod" does also mean "He/she kneels before Zod," but I was taught that commands end in "a", and the difference between that and the el/ella/usted form was none, and that you had to look at the context.

    Plural verbs don't end in -os. Only plural masculine nouns end in -os.

    Wouldn't it be... Arrodanse ante Zod? *takes a stab* Or, Se arrodan ante Zod?

    My Spanish is way too rusty. Heh.

    At any rate, the point of this thread is to welcome the newbie, not go back and forth on how to say "Kneel before Zod" en espanol. Kindly resume newbie-welcoming and all that jazz.

    *welcomes Newbie again in order to continue the Spanish-discussing*

    Yeah, Daryl, I was going along those same lines - I know that Zod's version isn't right, since "Arrodillaos" is not a word. Commands end in "a", I was taught. The only problem with me is that I can't remember the "me, te, se" etc. of "ustedes." I assume it was "se."

    I think I may have been right.

    Bienvenido a Eyes on Final Fantasy. Disfruta tu estancia, aunque te recomendaría que no hablaras mucho en español, ya que el idioma predilecto es el Inglés aqui.

    También creo que hay muy poca gente que hable en español aqui, si mucho algunos dicen cosas absurdas.

    Como dije anteriormente, disfruta tu estancia.

    You humans are hopeless... in Spanish there's something called 'Imperativo', it's a verbal form used to give orders. If you don't know Spanish just don't say anything, because you'll be wrong. You can also use "Arrodíllense ante Zod", but that's only used in South America, not in Spain.

    It's arrodilla(os), the 'os' means plural (vosotros = you).

    Don't bother to argue with Me because I'm right.
