"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." ???

latando angaina · 04-13-2002, 09:31 AM

I think it was already Turambar's turn to ask, so he (being right, I fancy) may proceed. or isn't it so? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Joyicity ! You got it !

Joy · 05-04-2002, 10:13 PM

Give me a few more days, I have a broken finger. Can't type much. I'll be trying to find something quick.

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 05-05-2002, 12:24 AM

Sorry to hear hear about your finger, hope you're alright.

HerenIstarion · 08-16-2002, 12:23 AM

Well, since Joy is not showing interest in the thing anymore seemingly, I'll revive the thread myself [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

amother one (and easy one at that):

More or less bad truth, it is! In fact, the worst I have uttered for a short period. If all charitable people were able to listen to such a bad truth, they might find me angrier! Yet you are not making it up, I deem, so you deserve a fast and abstination from food for it

who to whom?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-16-2002, 02:12 PM

I don't have my book with me, but I can kind of translate some of the words. For some reason I think Sam said it to Gollum.

Quote:

Without my book, this is how much I could do..

More or less, good lies, it is! In fact, the best I have heard in a long time. If all (don't know what to put) people were able to tell such a good lie, they might find me happier! Yet, you are not telling the truth, I deem, so you deserve a slow and (don't know what to put) from food for it.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem much like Sam...Hm..Myabe it's from Faramir to Gollum in Ithilien. ?

HerenIstarion · 08-18-2002, 11:40 PM

Well, no

It was earlier [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-19-2002, 12:05 AM

Um, taking another guess (since I do that a lot, might as well not break tradition)..was it Gimli??

HerenIstarion · 08-19-2002, 02:56 AM

well, no again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 08-20-2002, 01:24 AM

as a hint: Gimli's father was present

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-20-2002, 11:09 AM

Was it Thranduil then???? (I'm just gonna keep guessin till I get it [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Or if someone else responds!)

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2002, 12:16 AM

well, closer but not the ten mark

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-21-2002, 11:51 AM

That King from Lake-town! Oh I don't know!! Am I closer???? Sheesh, I really suck at this! I need to read all the books over again.

HerenIstarion · 08-28-2002, 04:44 AM

not again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-28-2002, 04:48 PM

I ACTUALLY got an an answer correct?! Woohoo! (I did, didn't I?)
[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is my first try translating quotes, so bear with me! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Quote:

'I'm content that this is only an enduring dark, and it will go all pink again. What a joy! This shabby new plain looked the same in the dark. I almost felt I hated the place.'

My choice of words aren't that good, but I hope it's not too noticeable [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 08-28-2002, 11:40 PM

well, actually, "not again" ment that you did not answer correctly [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

yet, an answer to yours is:

Quote:

'I'm afraid this is only a passing gleam, and it will all go grey again. What a pity! This shaggy old forest looked so different in the sunlight. I almost felt I liked the place.

Pippin in Fangorn

so we go back to previous one:

Yeah I always interpret people wrongly. And I still don't know who you are talking about! Ooh! Smaug!!! Was it Smaug?

HerenIstarion · 08-30-2002, 01:36 AM

nay

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-30-2002, 01:54 PM

Oh I'm so stupid!! It's Beorn!!!!

Quote:

"A very good tale!" said he. "The best I have heard for a long while. If all beggars could tell such a good one, they might find me kinder. You may be making it all up, of course, but you deserve a supper for the story all the same. Let's have something to eat!"

Now how long did it take me to get this! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 08-31-2002, 03:24 AM

absolutely correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] you serve

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-31-2002, 09:12 AM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Quote:

Very bad then, I will just loosen my shoes and slow down- or I will be made to into breakfast, and that won't be much worse than having everything to myself.

I'm not to good at this, as you can see, but your good at this game so you'll get it within the first try anyway!

HerenIstarion · 09-02-2002, 12:52 AM

Gandalf to Bilbo after Misty Mountains adventure:

Quote:

Very well then, we must just tighten our belts and trudge on - or we shall be made into supper, and that will be much worse than having none ourselves

Lothiriel Silmarien · 09-02-2002, 11:30 AM

Do you have the whole book memorized or something! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Well, it's your turn now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 09-03-2002, 12:43 AM

very well then [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] here we go:

Quote:

How near is our stay? For as a beginning, the Weak, I must not commit any frankness with you. Am I to follow you in a crooked way, and where from? For if you have to accumulate your first weakness, you won’t know where the loss may occur

HerenIstarion · 09-18-2002, 06:36 AM

Need a hint?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 09-18-2002, 12:51 PM

Please! Sorry, I'm not that good at this game obviously. lol. I'm going to give it a try though..

Quote:

How near is our stay? For as a beginning, the Weak, I must not commit any frankness with you. Am I to follow you in a crooked way, and where from? For if you have to accumulate your first weakness, you won’t know where the loss may occur

How far is our (path? road?) For as an end, the Strong, must not (renounce?) any (falseness?) with me. Am I to lead you in a straight was, and where to? For if you have to spend your last strength, you will know where the gain may occur.

Ok, well I'll just guess that Faramir said it, when he was talking to Frodo and Sam.

HerenIstarion · 09-19-2002, 12:51 AM

nay [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 09-23-2002, 01:03 PM

Gwaihir to Gandalf?

HerenIstarion · 09-27-2002, 08:01 AM

Well, you definitely need a hint [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

FA is First Age

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-07-2002, 07:08 AM

I found it in UT - Tuor speaks:

Quote:

How far is it now to go? For at last, Voronwë, you must forgo your secrecy with me. Do you lead me straight, and whither? For if I must spend my last strength, I would know to what that may avail.
