'Chibi tumba loonuck' may sound like gibberish, but The Sims have their own language. Can you translate the simlish phrases in our latest Sims series quiz?

Sul sul! If you've ever spent extended time with The Sims, don't pretend like you don't know what I'm saying—we've all been there. It's never enough to open a game in the series for a quick session. You've got to spend hours micromanaging households, building new homes, and coordinating fancy 'fits.

But I get it, no judgement here. The Sims 4 is easy for me to pick up, but impossible to put down. And because of that, I may know a word or two of their bizarre, in-game language.

It's called simlish, and just like Klingon from Star Trek or Final Fantasy 10's Al Bhed, it's your sims' very own in-universe language. The Sims Studios has explained its linguistic process multiple times over the years, but in case you were wondering: no, it's not just you. Your sims really do have specific words and phrases to describe the same concepts. When you've played a ton of The Sims series, it's hard not to pick up and repeat a few of them.
