mehr Namen:
calassë = strahlender Glanz oder Helligkeit
huorë = Mut
lúcë = Zauber
voronwië = Ausdauer
(fur Linaewen: úmëa Pereldar; Pereldarulca)
Fëarúnyo = Seele der roten Flamme
Artanis actually means 'Noble Woman' or 'Great Woman'
Velicë nÃ*s = great woman, literally.

Ich gebe mehr, spater.

Okay, Lust hätte auch irgendwie nicht dazugepasst ... außer du willst wirklich außergewöhnlich sein.

Ich finde calassë passt nicht dazu. Außdauer auch nicht so wirklich.
Wie wäre es mit Wahrheit? Aber Mut und Zauber ist auch gut.
Ich überlege mir noch ein paar Worte.

Für was ist das Fëarúnyo, soll das auch ein Ring sein? Das passt nämlich auch nicht wirklich dazu.

Genau, unsere Ringe brauchen auch noch Farben.

Now that’s not nice- it’s like the Scandinavian version of that whole Canada/USA thing.
*Whacks hand on forehead* Hold on, Arty, does he know what I was going to ask him? If not-

I believe you've kidnapped a Swede and is keeping him looked up in your closet and forces him to write these Swedish sentences for you.

Vad då? Varför? Tycker du att jag kan inte skriva svenska sats by myself ? (Sorry, that part of the sentence was giving me such a headache)

Dessutom, Johan är glad över sitt skåp. I skåpet är också dansken och norsken, hans vänner.

Danke. Nice of you to translate my title as well.

Here’s a sentence to describe us four Elven-women:
Vi är den fyra vackera alvkvinnorna vilka alla är bättre och starkare än spionen, Jonathan.

[Lalaith]

I can't understand anything. Especially not the last sentence.

They were probably wrong anyway.
I've had enough of trying to work out what 'by myself' is. It's too hard. Grrrrrrr!

This is what I was trying to say:

Vad då? Varför? Tycker du att jag kan inte skriva svenska sats by myself ?

Dessutom, Johan är glad över sitt skåp. I skåpet är också dansken och norsken, hans vänner.

What? Why? Do you think that I can't write Swedish sentences by myself? Besides, Johan (the Swede) is happy with his cupboard. In his cupboard are also the Dane and the Norwegian, his friends.

[Lalaith]

Danke Lin.

But I didn't understand the sentence to describe the four of us.

[Linaewen]

Vi är den fyra vackera alvkvinnorna vilka alla är bättre och starkare än spionen, Jonathan.

We are the four beautiful Elf-women who are all better and stronger than the spy, Jonathan.

Hey, help me add to the 'I don't know' list. My friends and I know the phrase ' I don't know' in:
French, Fijian, Swedish, Italian, Croation/Serbian, Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian, Chinese (x3), Cambodian (huh, half contributed by me ) and I can't remember what else. We need to expand the list!

Did you know there's a person online now with the username 'it' in Swedish?

*Dreads imminent corrections of "Swedish"* Apologies in advance.

[Artanis]

Norwegian: Jeg vet ikke.
Spanish: No sé.

What has it got in its closetsesss?

[Linaewen]

Takk.
You know, the usual way I can tell between a Norwegian or Swedish text now is by checking to see if it has double /k/, or to see if it has 'og' in it. Fan 'og'. 'Och' är mycket bättre.

Could you understand my post, Arty? Could you tell if anything was wrong?

I skåpet är en gaffel, en säng och en kniv. Ingen ljus eller mat.
Oh, gosh, my poor Scandinavians with weird objects in their cupboard. Oh well, those are what I remember off by heart.

Updated: The list now has German, Japanese and Portuguese. (All from my cousin). But thanks Lai anyway.

Thanks.

"Ich weiß nicht." or "Ich weiß es nicht."

Yes, I understand everything you write in Norwegian and Swedish. But I'm not the right person to find errors in your Swedish sentences.

Ladies, sind wir jetzt alle mit unseren Ringen zufrieden?

Muss Ruinel wirklich einen neuen haben?

Ja, jag är nöjd med ringarna. Och du?

Jag vet inte om Ruinels ring. Om hon vill den, det är ok för min del.

Yes, I am satisfied with the rings. And you? I don't know about Ruinel's ring. If she wants it, then that's ok by me

Some Indo:
Saya sakit selesma. Saya kurang enak badan. Saya akan tidur.
Direct translation: I sick cold/flu. I less good/nice body. I will sleep.
=> I have a cold. I don't feel well. I will sleep.

[Lalaith]

yah, Indo is the first language that I understand

Ruinel wanted to have another ring, not lust.

[Grey_Wolf]

From an advertisment for the Swedish State Railways:

A picture of sleeping car.

A woman speaks in german:

Ahh! Sehr schööön!

(in Swedish it can be interpreted as "Ser sjön", that is seeing the lake)

A person in the nextdoor compartment replies:

Vad menar du med, ser sjön, det är ju kolsvart där ute.

(What ever do you mean, seeing the lake, it's pitchblack outside.)

[Lalaith]

Uh, a new multilingual poster is around.

Intressant, wahrlich intressant.

[Lalaith]

Hallo Artanis!

Ich weiß was "Ich liebe dich" auf Schwedisch heißt und ich weiß es auf Finnisch.
Was heißt es auf Norwegisch?

Schöne Grüße aus dem sonnigen Österreich
Deine
Lai

[Artanis]

"Jeg elsker deg".
Was heißt es denn auf Finnisch?

[Lalaith]

Danke. (Das merke ich mir sicher, weil es fast gleich ist wie das Schwedische)

Auf Finnisch heißt es: Minä rakastan sinua.


Ach, wo bleibt denn immer unsere Ruinel, die mit ihrem Ring der Lust so nicht zufrieden war?

[Ruinel]

Ruinel has been a busy Elf. Sorry.

I'll try to moot later today or this week. Not sure when I'll have the time. Damn, not enough hours in the day.

[Lalaith]

No problem Ruinel, poor, poor busy Ruinel.
