Well,it is the end of a disagreement between two rather...not-so-polite characters.(I said too much,I fear)

Dear Eru,no answer yet?!

OK,one more detail.Look in rotk.

Here comes a guess based on few words I was able to translate by Googling...

"You have chosen the Evening, but my love is given to the Morning."

Gimli to Eomer, Galadriel being the Morning and Arwen the Evening.

(Though I must add that one of the online dictionaries insisted that the last word meaning was "breakfast".

)

YOU GOT IT

Very well,dear Annunfuiniel!Your turn!

(By the way,in Greek ''πρωινό'' means both breakfast and morning.However ,the most frequently used word for morning is ''πρωί'',so,that's probably the reason )

Why thank you, Erendis, it's nice to hit the bullseye sometimes - especially "blindfolded".

I know this next one isn't a very good translation, but, well, I hope you understand why when the original wording is revealed. Some Swedisssh it issssh, my preciousss...

"Han skulle vara väldigt belåten om han kunde se dig nu. Tänkte han hade haft en ny vän, han skulle."

Quote:

"He'd be mighty pleased, if he could see you know. Think he'd got a new friend, he would."

Sam to Faramir before he took the hobbits to Henneth Annûn.

I knew the words and who the speaker was but just couldn't remember who he was talking to, so I have to credit Legate for telling it to me, though.

Mighty good job, Aganzir!

Carry on!
