What does Loof say?

As you all know, when you die/start a level with a character there is a sound played like "You know, that kinda hurts." or "Here we go!" Well, sometimes i hear this message: "Mein(?) to(?) cleynish(?) mein(?)" I am not sure but i think this happens when you die or start with Loof. Does anybody know what this means? Or maybe, I just heard it wrong. If that is the case what message could I be mishearing? (I tried to get it to play again but I couldn't)

Yeah, it plays on occasion when he dies. I've also heard the Spanish phrase "No no no no es bueno", so I would assume the phrase your confused about is in something like German, though I have no idea what it means. I'd run it through a translator but I can't spell out what he said.

I tried to find the game's sound file but I couldn't. Maybe I can play it to the translator?

and there is one more thing that loof says but i have no idea how to write it. If I reach the sounds file I can find that too.

Which classic wonderland game are we talking about?

I might be able to find the sound files if you tell me which game.

wonderland: Secret worlds

I was able to find the songs and some random sounds(gate opening sound etc.). But I still can't find the quotes that are said by characters.

The weird quote you're talking about is the German phrase "Nein, du kleines Schwein."

I recall Patrick explaining ages ago that it means something along the lines of "Not again, you little stinker." Being German myself, I can confirm that's an acceptable translation. It's basically just Loof getting mad at the player for getting him killed.

That's neat, I'm glad we have some resolution on the quote now, you learn something new every day!

You've explained, thank you. Also, if I am right, schwein means pig which means stinkers are pigs, WHAT?!

Schwein can also be used as an insult. It wasn't meant literally here.

Ok then, for a moment I was scared

Haha! This is hilarious to me, because the stinkers are using "stinker" as an insult, directed at you.

Great find! You brightened my day significantly.

Heh. I think that was just a coincidence. IIRC, Patrick made that post in the days before WSW, so Stinky and Loof's species did not yet have an official name.

Also, it was a pretty liberal translation. You can't really convey this line's meaning if you translate it literally. If you did that, you'd get "No, you little pig."
