Grondy says: If you wish to break our rules and insult our membership by calling us onionheads or jerks, please have the courtesy to do it in English, else when or if we post the translation of your postBody it may come back to bite you.

Elvish is the only language besides English that should be used on our Website and the only insults that might slip through are friendly ones where it is obvious to all readers that they are said in jest.

Here endeth the lesson.

It's something like "All the rest of you are l’kskaller!" I could not find the word l’kskaller in any online Norwegian resources... not even slang dictionaries.



Basically, "I attended a bilingual school/college for several years but I failed to learn."





This one has me totally stumped.

Something like "I don't believe which the mio(?) might be better/larger."

Languages are tricky


Anyway, the point is, take Grondy's advice to heart: don't say anything you wouldn't say in English because the translation may be forthcoming and it may not sound like what you intended in English


Now, Lurtz... all the rest of us are what ?

Hey I didn't say I've failed english, what I said is that I have much more to learn...
And "No creo que el mio sea mejor" means "I don't think mine is better".

Hi! I'm happy to have find a place with so many Tolkien's fans

I'm from Italy (I live near Venice)

Sorry for my English, it isn't so good I have to study it better

Bye ^_^

ps: I think that



means: I don't think that mine (English I think) might be better

Spanish and Italian are not so different

Hello IdrilCelebrindal and welcome to Planet Tolkien. Nice job with the translation.

Welcome to our forum Katakutur and to Amon also if I forgot to do so in the Tom Bombadil thread.

Was there anyone besides the boys in my fourth grade class, when we were studying Iceland ever so long ago, that called Reykjavik, the capitol and largest city of your fair island: "Rake-your-beak"? Or were we the only ones who stooped to such silliness?

be welcome amon...(like the egypcian god?) hope you come here(mexico) one day.....you will like it...

Hi all,
I am pretty new to the forum, but here are lots of good topics here so I have had no trouble.
I am from the United States of America; Florida, to be exact. Just so you all know, since the U.S.A. is west of England, then technically it would have to be Valinor! Cause it lies west of Middle-Earth, right? Just thought I would throw that out there!

No, we don't all wear big cowboy hats or boots. I do have to admitt that when I was about 4 or 5 I owned both, but that was because my grandmother bought them for me (in Olkahoma) I hated both and especially the boots because they were boys boots and grey and black. When I found out that they were made of real snake skin, I cried for a month and refused to ever look at them again, much less wear them.

So, where in Texas are you? If you don't mind my asking. I am in Dallas. (At least Dallas County.) I actully live in a small town just outside of Dallas.

Welcome to the forums everyone, I have been rather lax in that area lately. Sorry. Nice to see so many new people here.

I’m from Reykjav’k; Iceland

oop north lass.

No, not Yorkshire there rubbish there, they all say Frowt Jowce instead of fruit juice, come to Lancashire it's much better! We won the war of the Roses, hahh ahahahhahaahha, huchccchhuh, sorry about that slipt into the old Lancashire/Yorkshire rivarly, but were both united against southerners, I'll show you it's grim up north you soft southern shandy drinking girls, Poo I'm doing it again. Sorry!

Hello again Gandalf. Nope and I'm not sure if I would like it. In the Ivy Bush Tavern we have continuing puzzle games where the poser needs to know when replies come in that require his input. If you had to ask each time you posted you might forget and not remember to look again while everybody else is sittting around twiddling their thumbs. Other than that, you idea doesn't sound that bad. Maybe we could have both. Is this something for Taz to considering encorporating into our next reincarnation?

I guess the question is, does one take the responsability for one's actions or does one rely on society to take it from them.

Moved from the Forsaken Inn

My family came from County Down. Does that count as Ulster?

It sure is! Apparantly this board works different from what I am used to, on other boards you subscribe once and stay subscribed (even if "receive notification" is not checked) until you specifically click a link "unsubscribe".

Ah well, you can't win 'em all I can't remember seeing this in the help though, maybe I overlooked it...

Cheers,
Gandalf.

i live in Belgium,near brussels

glad to be here

hey!!!!!!! I'm from Nuevo Leon, Mexico! guess not so many people here are from mexico but if there are please let me know just curious! thanks.

I think Earendiltheold is from Mexico. Not sure though ask Plastic.

Yep, he is, but once again he is Earendil the hibernating again.

I live in USA,Iowa.I have lived here for all my life,and never venture far from the comfort of my home,like the hobbits. In the summer it gets very hot,and in the winter very cold:/ And while im at it,I live in the country ,sorta like hobbits And since I seem to be on a role of explaining of how I am too much like a hobbit,I am also 5'00 feet tall.Hehe..

I keep seeing the banner for weelie bins in any colour. Wheelie bins were invented in Bury, yey. Sad but true.

I live in Tennessee but I was born in North Carolina.

When I think of being from Tennessee I think of some ole hick wearing overalls, with a whisky jug under one arm and a straw hat on his head.

If you are thinking the same thing I understand...But thats not me!!!!
