はい、そうですね。でも、私のタイトルは　へん　なですね。

Don't worry about it, I know hardly any structures...

If you want the story in English... since I can't tell it in Japanese

, everyone was making fun of me because of my skyrocketing post count, and several people jokingly mentioned that my title should be Smelly Orc. SGH suggested Finrod's Smelly Pet Orc...

And hence...

katya · 12-10-2004, 11:12 PM

hm, I think I remember reading something along those lines. Pretty funny!

anyway, sentence structues...I just learned a new one. しなければ/しなきゃなりません
and しなくてもいい　The first one is to have to do something and the second is not have to.

Elemmírë · 12-10-2004, 11:22 PM

Ooo... New sentence structures...!

Of course... I'm having enough trouble with the ones I already know...

Well... trouble isn't exactly the right word, but...

Hey... pardon my obsession, but... I wonder if it's possible to hold a Tolkien based conversation in Japanese. Let's try an easy one...

好きな中央の土地のひとは　だれですか？

katya · 12-10-2004, 11:29 PM

あのう、ちょっとむずかしい。。。あっ！Finrodだよ！（but only because I was hypnotized- haven't read Silmarilion yet

) ぴっぴんでしょう。エレッミレさんは？

Elemmírë · 12-10-2004, 11:41 PM

Finrod です！　一番の気高くてよくてハンサムで聡明なＥｌｆです！

Oh wow... my fangirl-hood spills over into the language thread! Help! Someone, help!

katya · 12-10-2004, 11:51 PM

teehee! あのう、このサイトがおもしろいでそう。一番好きなみんぞくは？elvesとおもう。　私の一番好きなみんぞくが。。。ホビッツ。ちがう、エルフ。ちがう、エンツ。（このしつもんもちょっとむずかしい。） http://www33.ocn.ne.jp/~papygallery/

Elemmírë · 12-11-2004, 12:00 AM

難しいですか？　ホッビツがすきじゃないです。エルフが　すきです！　でも、れごらすが　あまりすきじゃないです。

katya · 12-11-2004, 12:05 AM

やっぱりエルフ？そうだとおもった。私もレゴラスがあまりすきじゃない。フェロシップでだれが一番すき？

so it's elves after all? that's what I though. I don't like Legolas too much either. Out of the Fellowship (ゆびわの、もちろん） who do you like the best?

Elemmírë · 12-11-2004, 12:17 AM

Unable to translate half of that

Anyway...

オルランドブルムはすこしすてきですから、少女は　レゴラスがすきです。登場人物は　おもしろくないです。サウロンと　けんかしませんでした。（　フィンロドは　サウロンと　けんかしました。でも。。。なくした。

　）

It's happening again!

katya · 12-11-2004, 12:28 AM

なくした？ね、ちょっと！that was a spoiler!私はオルランドブルムさんはあまりすきじゃない。あの少女たちはクレーイジ！hm...I wonder if けんかis more of a little quarrel... one time I had to write a sentence about something that was not allowed and I said 「おとうととたたかってi mean けんかしてはいけない。」とかいた。ちょっとばかだった。

edit: ok try that site again- it should work now. I edited my other post up above too.

Elemmírë · 12-11-2004, 12:44 AM

はい、クレーイジです。

フェッロシポで　アラゴルンが　すきですが、ベレンとティンゴルの子孫です。

Sorry about the spoiler... one thing you should know about the Silmarillion... everyone dies!

Hm. No... quarrel is not the right word. "Duel of sorcery" more like. My dictionary is stupid sometimes.

Checking the site...

[edit] すきです！

[edit] Oh! I like the Sil pictures! haha... those Elves look nice, none nicer than....

*wanders back to stare at pictures*

katya · 12-11-2004, 12:53 AM

oh, a duel of sorcery! how fun! よまなきゃなりませんよ。でも、今ねたいんだから、おやすみ。フィンロドをゆめみてね！＾＾

i have to read it! but now I want to go to sleep, so, good night. Dream about Finrod!

Elemmírë · 12-11-2004, 01:08 AM

おやすみ!

hehehe... I will.

Linaewen · 12-14-2004, 06:55 AM

Da jia hao!

Hey all, it's me in China. Hope you guys are all doing well.

Wo dui xi huan Zhong Guo. (I really like China). However that's spelt. I have been trying to practise my Chinese as much as possible, but I don't know a great deal and this is a big problem when people start talking to me as if I'm Chinese (because I look it!). People here start 'attacking' you to get them to buy their wares! It's scary!

Anyway, I'm gonna go now. Zai jian!

Nerdanel · 12-14-2004, 07:16 PM

I hope you're enjoying yourself! Don't buy everything they try to sell you!

Ha det jättebra, kram!

Lalaith · 12-26-2004, 09:46 PM

Lin, I hope you're alright.

I just wanted to wish you (and everybody else in here):
Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

*wondering if anyone understands it*

Something · 12-27-2004, 01:58 AM

God jul og godt nytt år alle sammen.

(Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone).

Merry christmas and a Pippin new year.

***Earniel*** · 12-27-2004, 11:51 AM

Prettige Kerstdagen en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!

**Nurvingiel** · 12-28-2004, 10:17 PM

Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Welsh!)

Did you know Welsh spellings are phonetic? All you have to remember is what the Welsh letters stand for...

Welsh letter = English pronounciation

dd = th
f = v
ff = f
ll = that thing with your tongue that I can't describe
r = light trill
s = can be sh
u = ee
w= oo
y = u

Nerdanel · 12-30-2004, 08:16 AM

Oh, I love that Nurv! I'm glad no one is here to hear when I'm trying to pronounce it..
