What in gods name does Budum mean

Nuthin'. ^^

I think a lot of "cute" things in Japanese culture have little things that they say when they talk....Like..."no da" or "budum".

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it's my personal theory. No da. ^^

I think its the way they say, "But um..." or its just a thing they say (like golum from LoTR saying "Precious!")

[Covert]

"Budum" = "Buddy." That's the way I see it.

Nah, Gollum is refering to the Ring...and because the Ring enslaved his mind, it's dominating it all the time...that's why he's saying it all the time.
As for the Sprites, saying "But um" all the time doesn't make sense in every context...

[SupremeHyren]

I always thought it meant buddy or friend.
Or not.

I'm with you. That seems to be the most logical translation, and it makes sense in every context I've seen.

[misstleclaws]

Um, I don't think it means anything. It's like in Animal Crossing where the animals say "mew" or "ruffian". Or, like in the magna of Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin says "oro".

ya its like they tok!!! like bog bark u know he is talking but u only heard one word but actually he is saying something which we don understand!!!!

I dunno.... Them sprites are pretty scary... They too might be messed up! I meant it as like its something they say without thinking about it. I cant think of the word.. o oh well.

Spontaneously?

I think budum must mean nothing in the same waythat in the Final Fantasy series the moogles say kupo after every sentance that doesn't mean anything either does it

[1990stephenc]

they say 'kupo' in kingdom hearts to its just like what they have got used to saying and has became a habit...like if you said mate or darling...etc etc etc...

Well, Kenshin says Oro when he's confused, doesn't he? And Ruffian means a thug or gangster. So... they're calling you a gangster.

They more remind me of a mixture of Harry Potter House Elfs (Dobby, you know) and those little forest people of Zelda...

*imagines Aqua crouching on the ground with a package of flour or a loaf of bread in his hands: "Budum...We needs it, we eats it...budum, budum!"*
