Hi,
Is it "En Taro, Adun!" or "En Taro Adun!"? Notice the comma. That is, could you say En Taro as a stand-alone phrase? It has always bothered me when people say it without the comma, but they might be right...
Also, what does it mean?
Cheers,
-Rommel. |

It means "in honor of adun". Adun was a great Templarwarrior of the past, by rank of Exacutor. Highly respected by his intelligens and strategical mind. So yeah you could probably use it as a stand-alone phrase.
The phrase is also used to greet one another.

| Unlike elvish, Khalani is not a developed language with syntax and grammar. There are no "rules". |

It would be hilarious if you could build the entire Protoss language off that one quote .

Tassadar destroyed the original overmind (The one featured in the SC2 Campaign) by crashing his ship into it, killing him and the overmind. I don't know much of the information, but I'm guessing he was a high ranking templar of great respect.
EDIT: He was an Executor and High Templar. You can find info on him here: http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Tassadar

| Once upon a time the Protoss government was being retarded so instead of doing all the occupy Aiur crap he killed them all with scouts and DTs or something. Then he took his pants off and nuked the overmind with his manliness. Last edit: 2012-02-17 14:02:01 |

lol nice. Tassadar is like the rebel high templar that was the first to integrate and accept the Dark Templar energies and prowess. That's why he was able to kill the overmind even though it and its cerebrates should be immune to all damage but that of Dark Templars. For not being narrow-minded and saved everyone's ass, we worship him. |

Thank you for that link. Really interesting.
Some expressions are also explained more in detail in the books "The dark templar triology". (for example the meaning of: "Adun Toridas!")
But as far as I see it all terms are already collected on that page. Nice. |
