[Text] There is such a thing as too many questions

[4_toteachus]

[Guys you better brace yourselves because Four isn't holding back at ALL.]

Languages are an important part of society, whatever society that may be, and is always fascinating to study. I know that translators largely make it possible for us to communicate with each other regardless of the language we currently speak... or in my case, write. I have a large appreciation for spoken word and how words, ideas, and memories look like when written in different languages.

So what I want to know is: What language does everyone usually speak? I currently communicate in what humans call 'German', though I will switch between English and Arabic from time to time. I prefer not to use English too often though, it is not the most reliable language of the ones I know.

For Cybertronians: Are there different kinds of Cybertronian languages like there are different kinds of Earth languages? If there are, how and why do they differ?

Another couple of questions for Cybertronians:

Why do some of you have noses while others don't?

How does gender work for your kind?

How do you see while you are transformed?

Also

Look I made a smile!

It's... [A shake of her helm. She'd say she had overreacted, but at the same time it's hard for her to see how such a sudden question could be taken in any way... Though there were probably others who would react with more grace... or at least restraint.]

It's okay. Like you said, you didn't know... and I didn't go into enough detail before your questions that you could've guessed what it is for us.

[She smiles dryly but can't really make herself apologise for her reaction, whether Four had understood what he was wasking previously or not.]

I suppose I should perhaps have expected the possibility of something like that, considering the amount of non-cybertronians present who doesn't know how we work.

I won't do it again, I promise :(

Is there anything you want to ask me? I'll answer anything!

[Four sees an exchange of information as being fair, and he hopes he can make it up to Elita someday.]

At least now you know.

[The apology and contrition is sort of adorable, but Elita manages to merely nod instead of also smiling, since especially the... er, face adds to it.]

I can't really... [then she pauses, and it's not really only from curiosity that she asks.] Do you need anything to function? I know you're quite small, so if you do, going out and finding it must be hard.
