Welcome to part two: Terran.

I hope at least some people found something useful in last time's blog. I know that learning most of the Korean names for SC2 units is pretty impractical, but I'm just sharing this stuff that I spent time looking up in case anyone wants to learn something from it. And I'm putting it on TL so that in the future, people can search for this (for whatever reason).

The most interesting name is probably the marauder, which is "brown bear" in Korean. I wonder if it's actually supposed to be brown bear, or if it's a homonym for something else.

Enjoy!

edit: good Korean <-> English dictionary

I looked it up here. I guess the compound is "brown bear," but individually, yes, it's "fire bear"

I find the chinese characters to be pretty funny. Its also funny theyve removed the 250mm from the strike cannon and the emp text from the bullet? :D
The nuclear missile arrangement is proboably missle deployment and nothing else. At least if you read the kanji. Cant read hangul so Im not sure of them. The SCV is just called constuction ? .. I dont think these kanjis are correct lol

And the two "response reactors" that obviously can be written in two ways in hangul ? And mean different things but the same kanji? :D

he did not add the hanja for romanised words cause it makes no sense to have them in hanja.

That has nothing to do with what I wrote. Im just saying the characters are strange and most likely wrong in many cases.

The characters are based off of what I saw in the dictionary. So, please blame the dictionary. I used the Japanese kanji instead of traditional Chinese for reasons I stated in the previous blog (Korean vocab is more similar to Japanese than Chinese).

nothing is strange or wrong from the way i see it. most of the hanja apart from reaper and marauder is correct.

are you going to later add on the universal sayings like

upgrade complete
not enough minerals
your base is under attack
etc?

It's amusing to me when i know exactly how they say "not enough minerals" in a variety of languages because pros are always spamming in the beginning of games

It's indeed brown bear, but the funny thing is it sounds like fire bear.
불 does mean 'fire', but 불 can also be used as a prefix meaning 'red' according to this source(http://stdweb2.korean.go.kr/main.jsp)
