Kirby is able to talk, he is often very vocal. [[Kirby's voice]] is high-pitched, with inflections similar to a toddler first learning how to speak. It should be noted that this is a more unique quality to Kirby himself, as [[Meta Knight]], who is generally considered (but not confirmed) to be the [[Kirby (species)|same species]], has a deep voice befitting a warrior of his stature. However, Kirby's speech is often limited to simple grunts, shouts, and monosyllables, with his most famous being his cheery elongated "Hi!"

That said, unlike his [[Kirby (anime character)|anime counterpart]], Kirby has occasionally been shown to speak full sentences, going as far back as the manual for ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', where he directly mentions he will restore the [[Sparkling Stars]], and explains the game's controls to the reader. His first in-game dialogue was in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', but only in its Japanese version. In more recent games, when he does speak, it is usuallyy conveyed indirectly, such by the [[narrator]] in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', or [[Elfilin]] in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.
