There is also Ike-jo (girl Ikemen) and AC (Ascended Candles), veteran (one of the first and most experienced players that played the original version of the game in the early days), also the term Oob!! Great video tho!! Would’ve loved this as a moth

Unpopular opinion: Moths are adorable when they don’t know where to go and do everything wrong

"A guide for moths" Me, not a moth: 👁👄👁 interesting

Lmao when me and my friend find winged light we’re like “Omg a child” 🤧

Personally, I also use the terms: • Dragonfly (person with 5-8 wing-levels) they hang out in small groups, though are usually found alone like actual dragonflies! They also aren’t as decorated as ikemen, like how real dragonflies have a very general shape though some are different colors or different sizes. They go here and there, exploring their environment to see if there’s any unexpected nooks and crannies to explore. • Butterfly (referring to ikemen and derived from the term ‘social butterfly’) they hangout in large groups, where one goes the rest follows. They are colorful, always unique and each varying in different ways even if some look the same. They also know where everything is and follow a set “migration pattern” (AKA candle run) Just thought I’d share! (• u •)b

Me: *has played for a year and a half* Also me: 👁👁*watches whole video*

I feel like at least SOME of us who honk a lot come from Journey, where honking was the only form of communication since we didn’t have chat or emotes. The real OG veterans 😉

As a normal Sky player, I can confirm that everything in this video is true.

My friends refer to getting winged light as "eating the child"

I thought this was a video about sky actual language, like what the scribble in the wall mean and you'll decode what the elders and spirit says Until I realized they don't speak or write Great video anyways

A friend of mine who speaks Japanese likes to refer to winged lights as feather children 🥰

Fun fact: In the old days before we all call them cr(candle run) we usually call them farming and farm

Some more that would help moffies: • Kreb (crabs) • Krill (Dark Dragon) • Chibi Fall (method used to go out of bounds) • Oob (Out of bounds) • Rocket (friendship emote glitch used to rocket upwards) • Ult (Ultimate Rewards)

You missed few ways to recharge your wings: - besides the butterflies, players can also go to the flock of birds or mantas - there’s also clouds. You can crash land into them and while you bounce back, it also recharges your wings. Side note: It’s sad that veterans don’t have a cool name in the game. ^^;

A young friend of mine called winged light children Babies. So you collect babies or you find a baby. I found that cute. :D

What i love about the game is most ppl r really kind and helping,(as the game is meant to be,) especially towards newbies

As a linguist, it warms my heart to see the phonemic transcriptions for each word! As a Sky player who's been playing for nearly a year now, awesome video! I wish I had this guide when people used to throw these terms and expect me to understand 😭😭

Another good name for chibies "ankle biter" lol

I've been playing this for a year and seriously thought ikemen was just a reference for someone tall 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'd like to add something! It's the chevrons :> it helps you collect candles faster. The more chevron you have, the faster you get candles, vice versa. But once you ran out of chevron, your skykid will get tired and it'll be harder to get candles because the wax will turn into a small amount (tiny waxes). The amount of chevron you have can be seen as tiny arrows (looking upward) on the up left corner of your screen! 1 arrow equals 5 candles! Hope it helps!

When you're an old player but still watches this video to confirm things

I’ve been playing for awhile, but I’m really shy and tend to keep to myself but I’ve been wanting to get more into interacting with other players and this was pretty helpful. Also as far as honking goes (I just call it calling), I’ll typically do 1 call as hello or a thank you for someone sharing their light with me because I can’t get to a thank you emote fast enough, but I’ll spam honk if I need help with a door/need light or if I’m dealing with crabs.

Moths are also called Sparrows by some people because of the brown cape looking like a sparrow's wings owo Wing is also less formally known as flap, wingflap and the stars on the cape is also less formally known as wedges as well as flaps.

this will help a lot for new players🙏 if you're making a part 2 can you please include the elders and maps/realms? and eden XD

BAKHSKAHS THE FACT YOU INCLUDED 'shiny bois' AS THE LESS FORMAL VERSION OF WINGED LIGHT HAD ME ROLLING ON THE FLOOR

sky language reminds me a lot of skaters language, both quite confusing and have many different terms

As an ikejou i appreciate yt’s recommendation

You dont know how much i'd liked to had this vid back in my moth days HAHAHA

Sidenote: In the realm with daily candle cakes, you can find 4 daily cakes. Also, not all moths honk a lot, I have seen a lot of quiet moths who very hardly honks, and I too was one when I was a moth. I kept thinking why veterars were so loud lol

I’ve been playing Sky for almost two years, and I have always called and heard the quest giver called the “home spirit.” Me and most my friends called the cake candles “big candles.” Was a long time before I heard them called cakes. Never heard the term “Ikemen.” The rest is pretty accurate for me.

1:46 shiny bois? more like LAMPS

I needed this when I was a moth 😫😫

Video:sky language explained Me, who already knows everything in this video: interesting 👀

when i play with my friends we always called the winged light “light bois” it’s def a lot more fun🥰

I started calling candle wax "candle juice" because I could

Me, starting fresh on switch after getting every spirit on mobile: hello, fellow moths

my friend got me into this game a couple days ago and i'm TOTALLY HOOKED!!! as a noobie moth, this video is a nice refresher on all the sky lingo. ^_^

Krill is another term used by players that Moths may not understand, as the game calls them Dark Dragons.

honk

As somewhat of a new player (I've had the game for less than a month I think), I always call Wing "stacks" of Winged Light or just "stacks" I see the "call" as a sort of echolocation that can not only replenish the energy of fellow players but can also alert other players to come assist with something, whether it be a large darkness plant or a two to four person door I call wax "light" that is collectable from both candles and darkness I learned Candle Run and Eye of Eden Run pretty fast, those are easy to remember I love the chibi run so much, I can't wait to get that mask so I can run like that I have a few Ikemen friends And of course one of the first words I learned was "krill" for the Dark Dragon

Ooo I like the different camera angles in this video! I’m also thinking about sharing this with a new Sky friend, cause I’ve probably used some of these without them knowing what I was talking about 😂 But anyway, thank you for the video!! 💕💕

Deep honk can also charge other players capes.

Lolll sometimes I call candles cakes, cupcakes Because when I was a moth my first thought of the candle cakes was just cupcakes XD great video tho! This might help my moth friend XDD

i don’t know why i’m watching this as a rhythm kid, but i enjoyed 👌

So I was different moth then, I casually avoid others and I only found out about honking to find the objective with the pop up guide and then I just fly alone everywhere discovering myself it took me awhile to reach the valley of triumph, got lost in Isle of sanctuary. Somebody just help me drag me somewhere and I'm confused didn't honk alot. After awhile I figure out how the spirits and elder works that I keep coming back in some earlier place if I miss something. I started since switch launch because I notice the launch trailer and curious to play it got sunk into it for hours then everyday. Currently reborn twice now, I panicked and start killing me inside for my first Eden. Its hard to find friends even in games lol

I will not use Duolingo 💔 I will only use sky lingo from now:)

You can also recharge by standing in/near the "remains" of a Winged Light (like after you collect one, you'll see a sparkly outline of where the WL once was)!!

I shall now only refer to winged lights as “shiny bois”

I heard about sky some time ago but never played until recently and today is the first time I even look at a guide I found this very interesting and helpful and I like the title moth for less experienced players like me and it is quite adorable

When me and my friends play Sky, we don’t normally call ‘Winged Light’ by it proper name. Instead we like to call them “Golden Guys”. XD

5:35 i really love this melody

dude this is really well made and accurate! there are a few terms left out but apart from that, this video is super good! as a veteran myself, this really would've helped me out in my moth days!

this was literally so helpful i just started playing again 2 days ago tysm

I’m a veteran and I didn’t know this language because I liked silently communicating with people better cus it was way more wholesome 😭

This is so nice to watch (even as a non-moth) and so informative. Thank you for your effort.

There’s also one more but it’s spoilers so beware: Krill The creatures in golden wasteland and Eden, do not let them see you, if the blue light turns red, it means they spotted you or another player so beware, they are about to attack, they take your winged light. Getting attacked by them would be to get “krilled”

so visually pleasing ! 😍

Im honking for no reason around some people :/

If I'm being honest. I WAS really a moth when i start playing this game. Going towards anything shining bright. 😂

Wait, I've been playing all this time and I never knew I was a moth.

Thank you for knowledge ❤️😎

yooo i rlly needed this thx :D

People seeing the Ikemen: IKEMEN Me seeing (and being) the Ikemen: CLOUD STRIFE The Quest Givers can alternately be called the “[season name] Guide”. And the formal term for a candle cake is Treasure Candle.

respect to u, make a guide for new player and make it easy to play who havent now to play. 👍🏻✨

Thanks! now i know what ikemen means

Funny how I've been playing for almost 2 years and I didn't know half of these terms or even features of the game.

The video was adorable!! But the music choice was beyond enchanting I loved it so much

Fellow Moths that don't know what they're doing where you at

I've always wanted to play it but phone controls are just clunky af. Excited to be able to play on switch later today! Been waiting for a year

Winged light are also known as "little glowing men" or "glowing boys" by me and my freinds

Ty for this! im a long running casual player but its great to brush up on my sky knowledge everynow and then. im sure theres plenty of moths that are very grateful to have this guide

I call the wing my Cape-abilities. So usually you would refer to it as level 8 cape-abilities.

First of all I love the bun you're wearing and second, for the longest of time I've been wondering wth an ikemen is so thank you for this

Yooo!! I could've used this SOOO much as a moth!! This is epic!!

gw elder hair ikemens are currently sobbing

I call the winged light: Star Children, Light Babies, Confused Bright Child

I never knew that people shorten ‘ultimate gifts’

This has been very useful. Cheers for the info!

This is really helpful, since i'm a newbie. Thank you so much!

this video is very good, full of details and very explanatory for new players

I'm a moth (sorta, A red moth?) While I was in the green wasteland I found that honking fully charges my wings and I helped two other people!! Also honking knocks over crabs.

Thank you for helping out newbies! I was thinking of saying the meaning behind “cr” but you covered that

I personally like to call "wax" "sparks" Because it doesn't really look like wax at all, it's kinda like sparks off a fire ya know? Idk anyone else who uses this term but I like it XD I also call the new wax hangout spots "Spark wells" for some reason, has a nice ring to it!

Very very well put together I wish you would've done this a year and a half ago for me! I didn't learn anything because I'm a butterfly ...but you did a great job thank you

When I was a moth I already did deep calls in the isle of dawn 😂

Honks you has a sign of affection

I've been playing on and off for a year and I didn't know any of these terms except for a few like "winged light" 🤨

so i'm going to add things as i watch since im noticing some things. (im a nintendo switch veteran(been playing since little prince when it first released on nintendo switch)) edit: yes this is self proclaimed and it does work because i played since switch launch. a true veteran played since mobile launch way back when it first released. 1. for honking i also have 2 more the second idk how many other people use A. honking to your friends to get their attention B. honking to confirm your friend has picked up wl (during a wl run) 2. questgiver also known as: A. season guide (if it's a season quest giver) B. event guide (if it's an even quest giver) 3. candle cakes are also called candle stacks or stacks (as they are a stack of candles) by some players including myself 4. ultimate gift is also called ultimate reward or for shortened "ult" 5. anything left out, my thoughts or notes: other than the three in the pinned comment, that being AC (ascended candles), veteran, and oob (out of bounds) i can think of maybe two more. that being TGC related items (doesn't really need explaining), or non returning items that are exclusives, like the astro cape, kizuna ai colab pack, and all the aurora iap's (these are the only ones ik off the top of my head)

Honking also serves the purpose of long distance communication! Oftentimes, a single honk is used to find other players, two honks often means "come over here" or "where are you?" and three honks is usually either "help that person, I can't!" or "where are you²". Frantic honking is almost always used in dire situations and most commonly used in Golden Wasteland and Eden.

Thannkyouuuu! I just started playing this game and was so confused .. very helpful!

even as an experienced player its help me a lot, cause its not my main language

U should make part 2 for elder, asendent candle, season candle, trade, veteran, etc

Another word Oob/oobs Meaning: Out Of Bounds Places that are out of sky's boundaries or left by the creators of sky(TGC, That Game Company) for us to explore, or left unintentionally.

This guide is amazing and totally true

wings can also be referred to as 'flaps' (you can flap 10 times) wedges, referring to the shape of the indicator, or stars, referring to the pattern on someone's cape

played when it first came out when it barely have anything, stopped playing for a long while and now coming back there are communities lingos etc etc X’D holy hecc

oh my god thank you this is what I need

I like to call winged light "Glowing Toddlers"

As a moth, thank you. I only recently got into video games at all and just downloaded some for free or very very cheap ones and I didn't expect much from them but holy- I was proven wrong. I've been playing this for hours on end, definitely flying around like an idiot bumping into every wall and dalling everywhere but man I love this game.

Tgc has moth appreciation pack probably representing newbies, and another one called sparrow, probably refers to veterans
