 Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2010 4:54 pm Post subject: Your favourite LotR quotes
 |
|
I'm not sure if this belongs in this section, but I couldn't figure out where else to put it, so I'll post it here and leave it to the Moderators to move it if they want to.
So, as you've probably figured out already, I'm after your favourite LotR quotes.
I'm getting a tattoo, and I'd really like a LotR quote in Sindarin. I haven't got the books in English, and it's been too long since I've read them for me to remember all the good quotes. So I had the [brilliant, I thought] idea to get you to tell me your favourites, and I can chose one of them.
So far I've thought about Gilraen's last words to Aragorn; "Ónen i-Estel Edain, ú-chebin estel anim", but I'd kinda like something a little happier, you know?
If your willing to help me, I'll be very grateful! |

| Will you be translating any quote into Sindarin, or are you wanting just the elvish quotes? Sorry if that's a stupid question. |

| If you want direct quotes all the ones from the movies and books are on A-U's elvish page...Of course I would do something like Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima...just cause it's cool (Is that Sindarin or Quenya though? I forget). But seriously, go check them out... |

My thought was to translate a quote. I suppose I should have made that clear 
Thanks Aerwyn, I'll check that out and see if I can find anything I like there! |
