Re: writing non english dialouge

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly.

Like, okay. Fisk can speak Mandarin, right? So a fic writer could do this in 3 ways:

-----

1) "谢谢," Fisk says.

2) "Xiè xie," Fisk says.

3) "Thank you," Fisk says in Mandarin.


Which one flows better for your general audience?

Conversely, the first (or second) method works well if you want your audience and POV character to be in the dark about what the other character is saying:

"이거 얼마예요?"

".... huh?"

"얼마예요!"

"...?????"
