^I'm pretty sure that in the Silmarillion there was something about it.I wish I had the book by me too-I wanted to check that but I realized that I forgot it on my summer house.Dumb me

^I just need to read it to remember.I don't know but I think there was a sentence about the Half-elves and the choice of the mortality and immortality..Hmmm..
There are two possibilities:
a)that I didn't got the sentence right
b)that the translation wasn't precise.

I think I have to get the book in English

^The lyrics/poems always sound better in their original language (You know what I mean-for example do you remember that BG I sent you?It had EN version but you told me that in our language the song sounds much better)
Anyway I'll try to get the book in EN soon enough-tomorrow maybe
I can't wait to read it in it's original version because the translations I read(I read it in BG and now I'm reading it in Russian) there are many differences.

Kolko mi Lipsvaš <--I can do cool symbols too. Three cheers for háčky!

I have The Silmarillion on my bookshelf--but I'm reading LotR right now, so it'll have to wait.

I hope I'll have time to read the books once again this year before the summer:We have a lot of stuff for our literature classes.I though they'd be pretty interesting but I was wrong The most of them are BOOORING!

And btw:Siss you just could use the English translation of the song:"How I miss you"

wow, we are sooo far off topic

@aerandir: you don't by any chance have the sil nearby, do you? because it should give us the answer to the whole immortal/mortal thingy...

I have a Sill nearby... but I wouldn't know where to look to find the answer!

Would it be more like "How much I miss you," Elenthari?

Anyway, The Silmarillion, unfortunately, doesn't give a definite answer either way. That's why this debate has lasted so long--there's no known 'correct' answer--at least, it was never published, so far as I know.

But you're right, Anameleth--we are off-topic. I vote that we all move over to a thread specifically to take about the whole immortal/mortal thing.

_________________

well, I was actually talking about the whole russian language thing (it was russian, right? )

the immortal/mortal thing I don't think is off-topic, at least for as long as we think Elrond and Elros "started" it all...

Oh. Lol. I don't think it was actually Russian. I Googled it and it seemed as though it was actually Bulgarian or something. Though it would also normally be in the Cyrillic alphabet.

If you are talking about the song-it's Bulgarian

ahh, okay. it sounded russian XD

In fact,Bulgarian and Russian sound very familiar(because they are Slavic languages)-the only difference is that the Russian grammar is much more complicated then ours

@Aerandir:Yeah,the title had to be written with Cyrillic letters,but I wrote it so,so you could be able to read it.Here's how it looks like with our letters:
"Колко ми липсваш" {Kolko mi lipswash}

But we've done faaar off-topic

BTW:I finally found "The Simarillion" in English.Now I can compare the translation and to see did I got that phrase right or wrong

if you've got the sil, you could see what it says about mortality/immortality as well

Ok...Now I can be completely sure that our translation isn't very good.I'm still reading the English version of the Silmarillion,but I was too curious about the mortality/immortality thing and here's what I found on the index.(I don't remember where exactly I read about the Half-elves in the book )



After I read that I agree that the title Half-elves is given only to Eärendil's kin...But I'll search more info in the book on that

Actually my real quetion about Elrond is,what does it mean by he has the gift of foresight?(Arwen in ROTK: You have the gift of foresight,tell me what you see!) elves have special gifts??
