English-Elvish-English Language Translations: Requests Welcome

[Angcuru]

Hey jayaint. Finally I get another request. I can't get to them right away, as I don't have my translation PDF with me (in the campus computer lab right now). I'll get to them soon enough, though. Probably by 4 O'clock (P.M. EST).

Also, you may note how in an above post I mentioned how a book I was purchasing would improve my work with this. Well, I was somewhat mistaken. It's more of a guide to speaking Elvish and the process of how Tolkien developed it than an Elvish-English Dictonary. Blah.

How about "Sorry, we only accept Visa or Mastercard"

or

"I didn't mean to set the curtains on fire"




That one comes up a lot in our campaign.

How about this long phrase:

"It is proper that a man should die for his country."

In latin, that's something like:
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."
(I never took latin, so...)

I'm hoping that sounds impressive in Elven

I wondered how come this thread disappeared right when you said you were getting a whole new book on the subject matter... ??

no worries on the time lag... i'm amazed each and every time i request something and you come through, it's really cool.

I'll check back this evening myself... first nice day we've had here in AGES...

Angcuru, how about, a catch-all phrase for "By any means nescessary"? Also "My floating disk is full of eels"?
