do not go to the elves for advice for they will say both yes and no??? *the book's downstairs* Frodo to Haldir in Fellowship

Correct. Your turn.

-Voronwë

this isn't technically a "mistranslation" coz I didn't translate anything...so if it doesn't count then someone else can go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
the dog that barks may prove a friend

that must be something about Aragorn in Bree

certainly something to do with Aragorn...

uh huh
wild guess - all that is gold does not glitter?

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

well, something about foul looks and fair behavior?

lol sorry, "mmhmm" meant "yes, you're right...plz continue"

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

ok, next one

come on, you brute! come on, I’ll pay the debts for my friend. Then we will go on, but first I’ll pay my debt to you! come here, and Ill entertain you with this again!

it's Sam in Moria when his blood's up after Frodo's been attacked

aye, correct.

when I'm "home" I'm no longer awake; no longer truly alive; but simply in a kind of stupor

Is that the next quote or a comment on your current mental state?

Assuming it's the first, I'm going to day it sounds like Frodo to Sam, either on the way to Mount Doom with the Ring taking more control, or after they go back to the Shire. I'm probably completely wrong, but I hope not. I need to redeem myself! I can't believe I forgot about a thread for nearly a year! (and if anyone's still curious, the original of that quote I put on page 2 is Pip saying to Merry, "It's coming out in a minute," when Frodo's about to spill the beans)

lol that was my mistranslation...and no, not Frodo to Sam

maybe Bilbo to Gandalf? this one:

no [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] should I give a hint???

pretty please

this is the way I feel about what Frodo says at one point, and I guess kinda my interpretation...maybe if you ignore the last part (the stupor part)it'll be easier

Is it Bilbo to Frodo at Rivendell?

Frodo says it in ROTK-come on guys [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"Not to me," said Frodo. "To me it feels like falling asleep again."

No wonder I didn't get it earlier, he's replying to Merry, not Sam.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] your turn

Time to redeem myself...

I don't know if I have to put the direct quote or not, but here's my guess about the quote. It is speaking of Sam and the gift " of RotK. He had planted a garden all across the Shire and put the dust of Lorien over it. In the place of Bilbo's Party grew a Mallorn Tree.

Good guess, but nope.

maybe it's a description of Galadriel's and Celeborn's palace?

A bit closer, but still no.

'Dream' should be capitalized, if that helps any.

It's Aragorn to Legolas and Gimli when they find the traces of Pippin and Merry eating lembas near the eaves of Fangorn. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
(It was the word crumb that gave it away, although where the word gram comes from in that quote, I have no idea.)

That's it! I don't know how grass got turned to gram either, but it makes it sound like something fattening! (Knew there had to be a catch to lembas...) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Have at it, I'm going to disappear for a while into schoolwork... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Gandalf to Frodo talking about the Morgul blade trying to pierce his heart. He said that

Nope!
Only thing I will say is that it was English to German to French and back again to English. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

may it be description of 3 hobbits' jorney through the Shire?

Still no! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
(This is one of my favorite quotes, by the way!) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Bruce! Dude, you are crazy!! English to German to French back to English??? aaaahhhhh!!! ithink i'm gonna go hide in hole. Its too much for me.

well. may that be Beregond to Pippin on the walls of Minath-Tirith looking down at Nazgul and Faramir's troop?:

"point over there" would be "following mark, "amd swooping - "another attack". But I can't make out "be no they of".

It might be helpful if I expanded the quote a bit and also quoted the next sentence. There, maybe that will help someone.

Gah! - The answer was there all the time ..

Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!

Too simple for a learned lore-master in these suspicious days .....

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Heh heh - I said all along that it was one of my favorite quotes! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Very well done, Mr. Heathertoes! You are correct, as usual. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
