The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Jude]

How long should we wait? Should someone else just go ahead?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I'd say someone should go ahead and post one. I nominate you!

[Jude]

Very well!

mainly. I spend time going with the sun.

[Inanna]

Gandalf?

[Jude]

Not Gandalf - neither speaker nor addressee.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Third age?

[Jude]

No, earlier.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Morwen to Húrin: 'Almost. I am spent. I shall go with the sun.'

[Jude]

That's the one! Your turn!


(Incidentally, the first quote I tried came out exactly the same as the original. AI translation is getting better - if it gets too good, we might not be able to play this game any more, unless someone puts an old version up online)

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Yeah, I had to try several different ones to get one that I thought would work. Here it is!

What do you love the most?

[Jude]

Is the meaning fairly close to the original?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Yes.

[Jude]

Was it spoken during the First Age?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I'm tempted to just say "no" but that would be somewhat misleading, so I'll say, "no, before that."

[Jude]

Okay... was Fëanor present?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

No, he was not yet born.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Any other questions? Do we need more of a hint?

[Jude]

Has the world been created at this point?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Oh, good question! And the answer is yes!

[Jude]

Now that I've found it, I'm surprised that I didn't recognize it at once:

Edit: never mind, I withdraw this answer. I just re-read the clues and see that you said Fëanor wasn't born yet. Back to the books...
