Me Arwen. You Jane.
 

Okay. I think I found a mistake in the movie's Elvish translation, but I'm not sure and I was hoping someone could help me clear this up.<P>When we first (unfortunatly ) meet Arwen, she introduces herself to Frodo by saying in Sindarin, "Im Arwen" which the subtitles tell us means "I am Arwen." Now, I'm still a beginner in Sindarin, but I thought that "Im" was translated as "I"<P>Isn't "I am" "Non" in Sindarin? I think Arwen is saying "I Arwen" rather than "I am Arwen" ... Or is my translation wrong? If I'm correct, Arwen really needs some grammer lessons

This is the exact translation that is given at the <A HREF="http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/movie.htm" TARGET=_blank>Elvish Language and Literature</A> website:<P><I>Arwen</I>: Frodo, im Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nîn, tolo dan nan galad.<P>Arwen: '<B>I am Arwen - I've come to help you. Hear my voice... Come back to the light.</B>' [lit. 'Frodo, I [am] Arwen. I come to help you. Listen to my word, come back to [the] light.'] <P>im <I>pron</I>. 'I'. <P>telin <I>v</I>. 'I come; I have come'; cf. <B>tol</B>- 'come'.<P>le <I>pron</I>. 'you'.<P>thaed <I>inf</I>.
