French. . . not a Middle Earth Language, but hey. . . .

[Arwen Elf]

Does anyone speak French? Does anyone even care about French? Do you think that if Tolkien had not created his own languages he would have used French? This is for any discussion on French since I have regretably annoyed the Elvish people. (I'm truly sorry!:( ) Anyway, in my arrogance, I'm only going for what I know! Hovever, vive l'elvish! Again, all apologies!:blush:

[Isiltári]

Hi there.....I hate to be a stickler, but this particular forum is for discussion of Middle-earth languages, not a general language discussion board. Why don't you move this topic to the Prancing Pony, where you can discuss "whatever your heart desires." ;)

[Illuvatar]

POOF!

Consider it done!

Feel free to discuss French, here in the Pony! lol

[Arwen Elf]

Thank you! I mainly wanted to submit my apology. I'm not good at any kind of social interaction. Maybe I should leave. . . .

[Akiba]

ooh I know French not alot but am studying it hahaha just felt I should say that

[Bonos-Girl]

well.....i'm sposed to know french.....ermmmm....i don't really at all........

[TheRingBearer]

Umm... me too... shhhh ;) lol

[Pil]

There was a thread about french...once...not so long ago...but hey! We can talk about it here too! lol I looove french...beats german any day! :thumbs:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

j'y suis avec toi, pil!!!!!!!!

schlechtes deutch!

[Bawax]

i don't like the french language, i don't like france since they won the world cup. verymad

i don't even like french kissing, i'm more of a fan of italian kissing.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

italian kissing? never tried it.

for whom were you rooting to win bawax? i of course was for the US i thought we had a chance to win... stupid germans... (j/k if youre german of course :blush: )

[Bawax]

italian kissings great, its just the same but further south. lol

England should have won it, we were robbed, well ok we always are but my arguements just as valid. :grin:

[Eowyn]

I haven't done french for 2 1/2 years! might struggle to remember it. I can remember the simple things but I can't write it or listen to it. I was quite good at reading it though!so I'll eventually understand what you say!

[Little Devil]

French is sooooo silly, i have a french test tomorrow. yay ,fun! (not)

[Akiba]

just had a test my teacer is always playing these weird little folk kindergarden songs i nrench and the worst part is people actually sing along so very annoying and she's alwas tlling me to shut up *dumb good for nothing.....(mumbling)* she's planning a trip where we have to stay at a family's houde like an exchange student but not going (oh btw who won the world cup this last time?? I was going for Mexico even though i live in the US)sorry went off topic there
J'AIME LE (umm what was that?) SDA (I think??)

[Bawax]

ok a bit of a test for you all.

what is a "crock mittan?"

maybe not 100% on the spelling but i don't know, i just got called it by a fluent french speaker. (my brother)

[Eowyn]

no idea I have an english - french dictionary that might help! :grin:

I wonder where it is? hhhhmmm.........

[Arwen Elf]

I have one! Umm, is it "croc", which is "fang":dragon: Or, well, actually, that's all I can think of. Second word, I don't know! I have only my Larousse Dictionary with me. . . . In what context was it? Was he angry? Now I feel incredibly:duh: ! But I've only really learned standard French, it's most likely slang, like, "She's such a dog" or something. I could ask my French teacher. . . . :blush: I hate when I don't know something! I'm so arrogant!:boohoo:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

Ill ask my old french teacher still talk to him sometimes i liked him a lot anyway hell be thrilled to tell me

[A! Elbereth]

Erm... well I am taking French right now... but I've got the strangest feeling that she is Sauron, disguised as a French Teacher! She makes you do the mocoraina (sp?) to the garbage can while singning a french song just because you have gum in your mouth... She's trying to corrupt our minds with fear of her... it is working :elfeek: :flamer: verymad

I do hope you're not trying to corrupt younger minds - or is it just mine being already corrupted and the above statement is completly innocent??

about the crock mittan, i think a crock monsiuer is a toasted cheese and ham sandwich so maybe its a similar thing, although why you'd be called that i dunno know.

I have a test on french 'JOB' vocabulary tomorrow...all i know is professeur and 'les heures c'est longue'....great...i'll ace this one......*nervous laugh*........ :(

[Arwen Elf]

Don't ask about the words, they were actually created by me.:blush: Let's just say there's "un petit singe," of course, "le fromage," et "bois beaucoup de l'eau". You can guess where that goes. . . . then again, maybe you can't :huh: . But, we are also learning professions. Quelle coïncidence!

[Akiba]

I asked my French teacher about that crock whatever thing She didn't know r u sure he didn't say maintenant?? anyways she said she'd look for me agghhhh I have a test tomorrow and haven't learned a singlr thing ahh well French isn't that hard to pass (Mexico should've won the cup they were doing really good this year?) Anyways a toilet song your teacher might be weirder than mine haha today she started yelling at me in French and couldn't understand a word she was saying so I started busting up anyways J'ai aller au diner

[Daisy Gamgee]

I used to hate french vocab tests - one time, me and my friend hadn't revised so we were copying off each other, and we got caught coz she had made a word up, and i copied it!!
And Bawax don't come over all sweet and innocent, I'm sure you knew what you're double entendre was..

[Tar-Ancalimë]

French was my easiest high school course. :blush: but I loved my teacher a lot. (mmm blond... only 8 years older than me... and soooo gallant too! :grin: sorry it went no where anyway)

It was quite a bit harder in college though. We actually learned it, we didn't just pretend.

[Eowyn]

I keep reading the bits in french and thinking 'wow I remember this!' then I try to think of a response..........

like I said I can read it, just not write it! :blush:

I don't even know enough French to understand what bawax just wrote. :rolleyes:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

i believe he was trying to insult catz... I'd be insulted anyway if he wrote that to me. :huh: but what do I know. maybe he was just teasing her...

?!? I don't think that our French class is that easy, either that or ils sont tres bête?:huh: Je ne sais pas. But usually, few people take French in my school. Most take Spanish and German. It is rumoured that German is the easiest. Mme Minyard is always upset with my class' stupidity. I think its harder because we're not submersed in foregein languages.mecry It stinks!

[Nessa]

Ils sont tres what? Don't recall 'bete'.....

For a third year student I seem pretty clueless... but I have been suspicous about the ease of my French class for a while.. not that I'm complaining, mind you. ;)

German isn't available as a language at my (cheap understaffed) high school, but Spanish is, and although its known to be easier even then French, most students seem to want to learn a little (the Spanish teacher est tres stupide). lol

[Tar-Ancalimë]

(la plupart des professeurs sont tres stupide Nessa)

[Akiba]

German isn't available at my cheap school either but most ppl take Spanish and Spanish ppl take it to get an easy A but I'd rather learn a diff language and my class isn't that hard mind you I haven't learnet much I though bete was party but I guess not
and huh?? to the above

[Tar-Ancalimë]

fete is party bete is dumb do you want a trans of "above"?

I took Spanish and German and French in HS. Just French in college though. It's basically all I remember.

[Akiba]

hey I think my teacher has called me bete before or something like that hmph taking advantage of my undeveloped french skills or it may have just been my imagination or bad memory of the incident umm let me see what I can say in French right now ummmmm l'ecole cest tres mauvais ummmm je suis tres sympa hah j/k tu est tres bete hahahahahaha j/k too meant in to nobody just thought i'd put my new knowledge to work

[Pil]

I got my french homework returned to me....but the teacher didn't actually put a grade on it...there were only, like, three mistakes...it couldn't have been THAT bad! :huh: mecry

[Eowyn]

tres bien.
hee hee! I'm trying well done pil! lol

[Elrenia]

The word is croque-mitaine, it means bogey man or ogre...

:grin:

[Elrenia]

In the list of most difficult languages to learn German and French are ex aequo since both are very complicated for the syntax and the grammar...though it is easier for an English person to learn German than French since English is a Germanic language and French latin... btw I'm am French Canadian

so why did my school make me learn French and then tell me German would be more difficult? stupid school!

[Pil]

YES! STUPID STUPID STUPID SCHOOL! verymad

But i love french so...neva mind eh?! :huh: :read: lol

[Eowyn]

I remember the people in my french class were complete jerks. they really annoyed me. they always cheeked the teacher to the point where my chem teacher would have thrwon broken bits of chalk at them..... he was so funny!

[Tar-Ancalimë]

Originally posted by Elrenia

Are you kidding Elrenia? German is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY harder that French!!!

:huh: maybe 'im just abnormal :(

[Elrenia]

Well, in theory it is supposed to be this way but each person is different, you know, it can also go with your interest in the language...

Take me for example, in theory I should have facility to learn Spanish since this language is similar to French, I have been taking I don't know how many classes but with no result, I just can't learn this language (plus the teacher was always very very boring)...and you know what is funny I am in an advanced level in German and I think Russian is not that hard to learn ( I know already my alphabet).

But anyway, the best way to learn a language is not by taking classes but by immersion in the countries where they speak the language you want to learn...That's my point...:)

For me now, what I have to work is my accent...I have an all mixed up accent (French, NY, Canadian, Irish accent)...I just wish I could have the Brit accent, I just fell in love with it....aahhh :grin: Soooo charming....

[Pil]

REALLY!?! ( :huh: ) Woah! Never thought about our accent! lol

[Nessa]

You mentioned 'immersion' Elrenia, thats the method my own French teacher uses.

Its means that there is absolutely no English spoken in class, ever! Insructions in French, lessons in French, and student conversations in French. I don't talk much in that class. ;)

[Lady of Rohan]

My German class is like that. The first week she spoke English but never since. The diff. is that I love it! It's a lot of fun.

My French class on the other hand is not like that at all. It bugs me, the teacher never speaks French with us. Even when I'm like "Bonjour M. 'Arrison," he answers, "Hey! What's up?" Like, yeah, we're gonna learn French so quickly that way.

I'm in French IV and German III but I'm ever so much better at speaking German (though of course my vocab is much larger in French).

[Nessa]

How can you possibly take two foreign language classes at the same time?!? Especially three and four... don't you get confused?

A friend of mine took French and Spanish at the same time, and she finally gave up Spanish because she got the two mixed up so much! Maybe its because French and German are a lot less similar than French and Spanish...

[Lady of Rohan]

Well... I enjoy it a lot.
I want to take Spanish too but I have no time. :(

It's not easy to mix them up in my mind, but when I'm speaking I do it a lot. :huh: oh, well, I'm sure I'm not the only one. :)

After Christmas I will be taking French V. :) :) :)

The aussies love my english accent (which is a mixture of manchester, leigh (nr. wigan), stoke, and a southerners accent, and its quite posh according to mancies)

anyway, yep they love my accent - they just can't understand it that well!! (the way i say Sam it sounds like Sum, and six sounds like sex to them!!);)

[Akiba]

I have no accent damn! since I kow spanish french is pretty easy for me but sometimes when I don't know something in frech I think of wht it is in spanish and sometimes I come close but sometimes or most of the time I get it wrong dude my french teacher tries to give instructions and stuff in french but nobody ever understands her so she either speaks very slowly or tries english German and french at the samt time nooooo would be impossible for me there are only aout 5 ppl in French IV or ap french hmm pretty odd I want so badly to g to france ah well I also want an accent know that'll never happen though

[Nessa]

Everyone has an accent! Even Americans, to other people. :grin:

Well, Lady of Rohan, I guess enjoying languages that much would help with keeping them sorted out. ;)

[Tar-Ancalimë]

I like languages too... but im not THAT crazy!!!!!!!!! (j/k L of R)

[Lady of Rohan]

I guess I am crazy though, Tar.

I guess you could say they are my hobby! :)

[Pil]

In year 9 i was learning french, german, latin...and trying to read up on welsh when i had the time...That plus english got me all messud up! :huh: :o

Elrenia! Somebody who enjoys a british accent is cool! I like american accents...but the southern ones can confuse me abit...(i had a v. embarrasing experience with this guy in florida when i was trying to order noodles....:nono:....sooooooo embarrassing! :blush: :()

There are so many different brit accents though. Even though i'm from essex i don't have a cockney accent (i can't stand it!) I suppose my accent's quite posh...for the area...but i go to a grammar school and most people talk like that soo... :huh:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

posh?!? OMG PIl gimme a break don't use that word...

[Tar-Ancalimë]

I live in a city crowded with people with a hispanic acccent. actually its not so great you can't understand half of them even when you try and when you don't! it's worse. aargh 'svery bad.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

No offense to any Hispanics in here! I can understand them I just wish I spoke Spanish better...

[Akiba]

too late look you made akiba crymecry she's hispanic you know how can you be so insensitivemecry *gives tar evil glare* EVIL!! and mean mecry

[Tar-Ancalimë]

oh darn... I made you cry... rats.

j/k akiba!!!!!!!!! OK so you were complaining about an accent??? I tell you, the hispanic people where I live (OK most of them) have an accent!!!!!!!! Are you sure you don't? How do you know if you do? Do you speak Spanish? If you do speak English pronouncing it like it's Spanish! voila! an accent!

[Catz]

everybody has an accent.....EVERYBODY lol...you just dont hear it because usually, all those you speak to have a similar one...you notice it tho, when you go outside of your own "accent area"....when i lived in London, peeps kept asking me about Assie lol lol....now to a Kiwi, the Aussie and Kiwi accents are totally different, but many English peeps couldnt tell the diff....
:catz:

[Pil]

Oh come on! They're COMPLETELY different...kiwi accent is more clipped isn't it? :huh:

[Elrenia]

Well, Pill, I know there is many accent...well I love :loveyou: all accents from Great Britain then... Scottish and Irish included... (my grand-father was Irish, so I am use to this one) :)

Yeah everybody has one...Here in Quebec we have a very different accent from those French from Paris....Or they hate our accent or they love it or they don't even understand it...:huh:

I think personnally that every accent has it own charm...or you like it or you don't ... For me the accent that always mix me up is the Texan one ...can even understand a word, it always seems to me (Texan men) that they try to flirt... :naughty: lol (No offense for Texan who read this post :smooch: )

Yup, speak to fast.... I know that some French Canadians seems to have a potato in their mouth when they speak but it is not everybody and we speak very fast too lol, but it is not everybody.. You have visited Quebec ???:) :) :)

[Lady of Rohan]

Yes, four times (we used to live in NY). Last time was two summers ago, I was just beginning to learn French, I wasn't very good. I couldn't understand a thing. This year I am slightly better.

[Pil]

Welsh people speak fast. When i'm in wales i TOTALLY take on a welsh accent (sometimes i let slip when in england!) My mates say they can really hear the accent from my parents...but i don't find it different...cos i hear it so often...

Oh and texans...sooooo confusing! I can't understand it! :( lol

[Akiba]

texan's? can't see how I think French ppl talk so fast it seems like they don't even finish their word before they start a knew one meant no offense

[Tar-Ancalimë]

it does seem like that sometimes akiba... oh well...

and texen's are not hard to understand! we're just a little... different from everyone else...

naw I can see where it would be slightly difficult no offense and all, I think French Canadians are a little difficult to understand at times but you know those from France are not really worse have you tried to talk to them Lady of Rohan?

[Pil]

I looooove going to france and hearing the french have really fast, heated conversations...it's so cool! Their arms flail about and they move around lots...i tried talking to one group and they were like...how SLOW do you wanna be? I'm not all that good at french... :blush: lol

[HobbitFriend]

lol dont worry Pil.. i'm not that good at french either :) i wanna go to France some day - i've never been.

But i've got a funny French story... this guy named Sean in my French class works at a supermarket and there is this 50 (yes FIFTY) year old guy who works there too. His name is Pierre so Sean goes to him, "il fait beau, non?" and the guy just gave him a weird look and walked away. We're all like "Sean, are you SURE that he's French?" and so genious says, "Well, he's gotta be French! his name's Pierre!" lol
(see what kind of people i gotta work with! roflmao)

I am pretty sure you would be able to understand me....I don't speak that fast, plus I am used to be with people whom French is their second language...so at least you would understand a French Canadian one...though my French is more standard French...I have not much accent...result of my translation studies... :grin: :grin: :cool:

Texans are very friendly though, as us French Canadians, we are distinct (please English Canadian ones...don't throw tomatoes to me ;) :thumbs::elfeek: yaannnwwkkss!!!) :smooch:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

[Akiba]

I was reading all the french I started to laugh so hard it was just weird I'm still laughing wow perfect french people my teacher can speak french really good actually but her Romanian accent is annoying cause she couldn't speak engish to save her life I think one of the main reasons my class sucks is that we can't understand the teacher she would be a good teacher if she learned english a little better cause she does try to give us first hand experience or how they really speak it cause you know how books get all technicl and stuff

[Elrenia]

Originally posted by Akiba

[Black Rider]

jaime le francais beaucoup!
translation: i like french a lot ;)

i can read it well, i can speak it well, but my grammar is atrocious! next year in school though i get to do an independent study w/french, and possibly student teach it :D but this year my teacher is a moron, she's got a horrible accent. and she's really mean

[HobbitFriend]

There are two french teachers in my school - One originally from France: Monsieur Delongchamp (obviously you can even tell by his last name! haha) and the other one works in the peace core in the French speaking part of Africa.
And we get to go on a class trip each year to Quebec, Canada. I went last year and we got to go to this mall where they had an indoor amusment park! it was awesome! :)

Obviously you are a cannuck or american :grin:! Cool, so at least there is someone who knows my city :thumbs: . The mall you went to is Galeries de la Capitale. :)

[Spat]

Yeah Quebec city is great!! very beautiful, more european than Montreal i think, which is more Cosmopolitain... in some parts of Montreal if you walk in the streets, you can hear 4-5 different languages just listening to people... its great!! and the restaurants!! miam!!

I love Montreal, but i love getting out of it every night hahahah!! couldn't live there anymore.. :/

[Black Rider]

yes!! go Quebecois! lol my mom is from Quebec (maybe you know where, Elrenia or Spat, Sherbrooke ???) and everyone in this school in new jersey where i moved to seems to think the Quebecois are the weirdest ppl on the face of the earth!! i was born in Toronto, but that's all i tell them, for my social standard's sake...

Did you came here for springbreak or for a french immersion ?;)

[HobbitFriend]

lol well a lil of both... it was on February vacation. Our French class all went together. We had to hand in money to cover the rooms and busses, but it was like to hear French-speaking people and to get an idea of their culture i guess. We were supposed to only speak french to the people up there (that's why we went to Quebec City instead of Montreal) but sometimes they would speak english to us if they heard us speaking english. It was lots of fun! :)

[Black Rider]

lol lol lol

because they are a bunch of jersey snobs!! (not that i'm insulting jersey ppl, my best friends are from here)
and yes i do speak a tad of francais, it's my 8th year, although i forgot the first four because it was elementary school. but i'm the only junior in french 4 at my school, so next year i get to take my very own independent study. yay!!

[Tar-Ancalimë]

shall we brag about our french lessons now? I took five courses of French in two and a half and another independant study with the french teacher all in HS. In college I only took four courses within four years. bo-oring

anyway yes :grin: couldnt resist tho i apologize that sounded extremely like how i used to be in high school... which is eerily frightening because i was a little preppy jerk...

[Pil]

I'm into my fourth year of learning french...i'm not as good as some but better than others...thought i have to admit...i understood little of the funny conversation going on back a few pages ago...:huh: lol

[Pil]

Is this the same one that hurt himself? :huh:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

Parce que la plupart des posteurs ici ne parle pas français très bien. l'as-tu lu?


(moi aussi, je sais bien que je ne le parle pas. six ans de français, mais c'est rien. lol)

[Elrenia]

:hooray: :hooray: :hooray:

Well written!!! .... Bravo ! :thumbs:

Because French speaking people like me are extremely nice ask Tar, she is the one who said so :p lol or she was talking about me in particular lol

and we are great kissers :naughty: :smooch:

Should I be the French teacher here ;) ... Some already has asked for my services * thinking about a certain B* ;)

:boohoo:

:cool:

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester: I have no experience where it comes to kissing French women, maybe it is a great lack in my education :) I am willing to follow the full ExtendedCourse, whenever you decide to give one :jester:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

aww you french canadians ARE really nice :grin: i used to go to Quebec a lot when I lived in NY. you just proved how nice you guys are :)

go ahead... how would you make my last post more... right? lol
but i suppose...as long as you understood it... it doesnt really matter how correct it was ;) tho still i'd like to speak better french... after six years you would think that it'd be better... but noooo

[Elrenia]

OOOPS....I meant ...the language not the kissing....:blush:

But hey.... I love to kiss anyway lol :p... and I' m a single woman too lol :naughty:


:grin:

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester: Sorry, Elrenia, I looked up your info on the Memberlist,and I really think I have some things to clear up. ;) I hope you can still walk normally, cause i was ofc pulling your leg a little :angel: I should however say this ,so no misunderstandings will be remaining: If you look up My Credentials in the memberlist, you will find I could well be your dad (my daughter is 31 yrs old), so however inviting your being single might be for a younger man .......... À bon entendeur, etc.

However, I will address the issue once more: Why not introduce French as a language in this thread ( annotated in English ofc), lots of threads already go way beside their meant original lines. :archer: (cause it is my Astrological sign) :jester: (cause that's what i AM)

[Tar-Ancalimë]

well i was thinking this was more a discussion thread... because less people could participate in it if it were only in French... but what do I know lol

[Elrenia]

Well ...lol ... I know that you could be my dad...in fact...you are older than my dad roflmao ...I was just kidding around..because...you know ...I forgot to say that I am happily single :thumbs: Well it is an invitation only if there is an actor of LOTR lurking in :naughty:

:grin: :grin: :grin:

[Elrenia]

Well, Tar...let me tell you that most of people who posted in this thread are not bad at all in French...everyone posted a little something and quite well written, I was very impressed ....You guys are better than you think you are...;) :grin:

:thumbs:

Go for it !!

[ridnarhti_M]

[Elrenia]

Tell me ... You still look at women, no???;) And you still find some of them gorgeous aren't you ? :naughty: Well...it is the same... though these times men around me are not very interesting (except one I saw recently, he is a real CUTTIE ;) ) so I look at the movies :p I am not obsessed ...well sometime I might be :blush:

[Catz]

I hate to see nice guys like you being burned and scorched by the exploding fire of real women
roflmao

need some sound advice? use hot-waterbottles... an old joke tells British people have them, whereas continental people have ordinary erotic lives :angel:

Ohhhhhhh, and as to scars , wait till the mental ones are really coming.... tiny little things as physical ones will evaporate ;)

:jester: Feeling the leg being pulled a bit??? :angel:
I tried to do it gently :) ;) ;) ;)

PLEASE LET'S ALL GO BACK TO FRENCH

I will be the first one to break the English-spoken rule... my next entry is gonna be a French Poem. Elrenia or anyone else could follow it up with an English translation :jester: Fools are often too lazy to do that roflmao

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester:
here is my challenge: A poem/song by the German/French singer/songwriter Reinhard Mey

Je n'ai connu que toi avant de te connaître
Je n'ai connu que toi même sans le savoir
Là où tu te trouvais j'ai su the reconnaître
puisque notre rencontre était un au revoir
Par la couleur du miel j'ai connu tes cheveux
J'ai vu dans l'arc-en-ciel la couleur de tes yeux
C'est toi que j'entendais lorsque tombait la pluie
C'est toi que j'attendais mon amour mon ami-e

Je n'ai connu que toi avant de te connaître
En feuilletant les pages de mes souvenirs
Je te retrouve, toi, tout ce que tu peux être
Et quand tu m'es venue c'était me revenir
J'ai écouté la nuit dans d'étranges jardins
Et dans ses mille bruits ta voix dans le lointain
m'a montré le chemin que j'ai suivi depuis
je te retrouve enfin mon amour, mon amie-e

Je n'ai aimé que toi avant de te connaître
je n'ai aimé que toi, même sans le savoir
Je na'ai aimé que toi, tout ce que tu peux être
Ainsi notre rencontre était un au revoir (2*)

:angel: Well you frenchspeaking gals and guys translate it :jester;

roflmao roflmao

[Aerandir]

I did not know that you before knowing you I knew only you even without the knowledge Where you were I knew the to recognize since our meeting was one goodbye By the color C honey I knew your hair I saw in the rainbow the color of your eyes It is you whom I heard when It fell the rain is you whom I waited my love my friend I nái known that you before knowing you By dividing into sheets the pages of my memories I find you, you, all that you can be And when you came to me was to return itself I listened to the night in strange gardens And in its thousand noises your voice in the distance showed the way to me which I followed since I find you finally my love, my friend I loved only you before knowing you I nái liked that you, even without the knowledge I na' liked that you, early what you can be Ainsi our meeting was one goodbye (2*) ?

~Aera

[ridnarhti_M]

Well, Aerandir, good try, but Babel Fish can't translate poetry :jester:

How about this for a start, I guess Elrenia will protest :angel: but I am the poet, not the interpreter/translator:


You were the one I knew, even before i knew you,
You were the one I knew although i did not know
And everywhere you were i always recognised you
So when we met at last it was just to re-meet

Rich amber honey is like the colour of your hair
And in the rainbow i saw the shade of your eyes
In soft raindrops falling i did hear your voice
You were the one I waited for sweetheart, my loved one

Who does the second part????

:jester:

[Elrenia]

Well it is an excellent start...because like literature, poems are very hard to translate since you have to respect the idea of the author and try to be him while you translate it. :thumbs:

So we cannot say that it is real translation but mostly a version of the poem since the heart of it is in French..;)

So it is well translated Rid, in my opinion it gives a very good idea of the original...:grin:


BTW...should I feel concerned about doing the second part ???:p

[ridnarhti_M]

No problems with that at all, Elrenia roflmao

I guess you will do a great job on it, and for the courage you show:
====> :smooch:

:jester:

[Moraneah]

Oh, mared.............French be not middle earth, mon deux, tis me first language.....................then again Faeries are not exactly Middle earth either. veryhappy

Not that it matters, but I imagine alot of poetic license is allowed in this forum, I hope........:thumbs:

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester:

I thought some-one would have tried a little translating by now... do i really have to do it all alone????

Come on... I wont BITE if it is not what I would make of it

roflmao

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester: *SIGHS* :jester:

Seems i have to do it on my own then if no-one beats me to it roflmao roflmao I will end the translation my tomorrow...

THOUGH.... I'd rather see one of those who posted on this thread to have a go at it.

:angel: Elrenia??? no guts??? or no time??? :angel:

[Elrenia]

I dunno :huh:

Well I wish I would have the time to do it (and it wont be really long) but my agenda is booked...:(

Maybe you would be really interested to know what I do in my free time :grin: ...I think you would find that hmmm QUITE interesting...:p :p :p

Let me do it...give me time I will be able to translate during my Christmas vacation lol

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester:

:blush: I should have known you are a busy woman... looking at the lots of posts you did on the site already... and i guess you have a job... which I dont.. so I cannot really blame you for having only a little bit of time to do it.

I was not only referring to you, Elrenia, though

Some people in the thread have mentioned they know French too... so why dont they pick-up the glove I threw **ALL **
pfbbt Tar-Ancalime pfbbt Moraneah ( you said it was your FIRST language!!!) pfbbt all others who chicken out now ;)

:thumbs:BTW of course i will allow you time to do it, Elrenia.. and we might compare the way you and I would translate the remaining part of the song :) :)

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester: roflmao roflmao roflmao :angel:

:angel:Sorry... i saw i forgot to answer to one part of your post, Elrenia:angel:

Curiosity about what ladies your age do in their spare-time :blush: have caused lots of trouble :blush: in my past.... ELRENIA pfbbt So I guess i better not ask for a detailed description I suppose.

Jesters better stay away from ladies... or the lords might throw them in jail.... and I hate rats, dry bread with mold but before all i hate water... at least for drinking ;) :p :)

[Ruthiel]

I know quite a bit in french. I'm doing the french imersion program in Canada. So, I've been going to school in french now for close to 3 years. Est-ce que tu aime de parle en francais? (There are supposed to be accents there, but I can't find the alt code.)

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester: Sorry Ruthiel... I am breaking the rule on English-speaking already with entering the poem i did.... but French with some English transcription would be nice.... I did 5 years of french when i was in school... and went to France on many occasions and I guess some French in the French thread SHOULD be there in fact

[Ruthiel]

A translation of what I said? Well, basically "Do you like speaking french?" I think it's a great language, and my dad said he'd take me to Paris or Quebec at the end of gr 9. Only 6 months left! Yay! :whoohoo: :read: (I'm just having fun with the smilies...)

[ridnarhti_M]

:jester:

J'ai très bien compris ce que tu disais, Ruthiel :), je parle le français bien, parceque je l'ai entendu pendant ma jeunesse. Ma grand-mère paternelle était une Française. ;)

For catz and the others pfbbt :

I did understand very well what you said, Ruthiel :), I speak French well, because i heard it in my youth. My granny on fathers side was French ;)

Nope, Ruthiel, you did not need to translate for me but for all those who dont speak French but still like to look at this thread.

[Ruthiel]

Aah. Desole, mais je suis malade et mon cerveaux ne marche pas tres bien. Je deteste les maladies!

For other:
Aah. Sorry, but I'm sick and my brain isn't working very well. I hate colds (couldn't remember the word for cold..)

[Ruthiel]

Hey, uhhh... anyone know why my :elfqueen: thing isn't working? (Nothing to do with french, but I just noticed that.)

[Ruthiel]

Ok..... it works when I do it in a reply, or post, but not on my signature. Can anyone help me??? :elfqueen:

[Elrenia]

Cool. Quebec is very cool. Thanks for the "rhume" translation. Very helpful. I've only been doing this for 3 yrs, so my french isn't perfect. (o:

Une femme française came to our little American school. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but somehow, in America, European people are revered as infinately cool, and so she was. I don't know why, but I thought I would say. Bon.
