Hello France

I think that learning Polish is more difficult than French.

 

Why do you think so For me is more difficult to learn frenchPP

Thanks Oryx-I

New ones :
>> Discworld ( you know, that book serie )
>> Lord of the Rings
>> the longest word in french
(with translation ofkors . Try to sa this: konstantynopolitanczykowianeczka ) [it is REALLY one word] )

 

The Terry Pratchett books are called "Les Chroniques du disque-monde" around here.

Lord of the rings is quite simply "Le Seigneur des anneaux".

And our longest word is "anticonstitutionnellement". But you'll have some trouble putting it in a sentence. It means "anticonstitutionally", I guess.

 

Lord of the rings is quite simply "Le Seigneur des anneaux".

Nice For me it isn't simply but ok

Aaa can you tell me how does the poem, which starts Le Seigneur des anneaux goes in french? Thank you

 

What poem do you want ? The one about the ring ("one ring to blablabla...") or the one which opens the movie, about the world changing ?

And I said that "Le Seigneur des anneaux" was quite a simple translation because even an automatic translator could have told you that.

 

*pops by*
*sees that LOTR is mentioned*
*runs away, far away*


I have a french language question: When using the word plutot in a sentence is it the same translation as "rather than?" For example, Elle est petite plutot grosse. Is that the correct way to use it?

It'd be "rather than" if you said "elle est petite plutôt QUE grosse ; otherwise, it means "she's short, quite fat".

*runs away again*

 

"Starfish, I see you want to learn many languages"

Thats right, at least a little bit anyway.

I would like to see the One Ring poem in French.

"One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

Or if you want you can translate the rest of the poem.

 

"Trois Anneaux pour les Rois Elfes sous le ciel,
Sept pour les Seigneurs Nains dans leurs demeures de pierre,
Neuf pour les Hommes Mortels destinés au trépas,
Un pour le Seigneur des Ténèbres sur son sombre trône
Dans le Pays de Mordor où s'étendent les Ombres.
Un Anneau pour les gouverner tous, Un Anneau pour les trouver,
Un Anneau pour les amener tous et dans les ténèbres les lier
Au Pays de Mordor où s'éntendent les Ombres."

There you go.

 

WoW! :lol: Thx Onyx-I.
Starfish. I asked about that too Sorry that I didn't wrote it, but hmm I don't know it in original version I know, shamy But I thought that you would't understand the Polish version

BTW: Starfish. Are you learning French at school or something common?

Aaa curious question: my sql [school ^^] is organising an hmm exchange of students with one of your schools [I don't know which,they didn't mentioned:>]. Does anybody on this forum is studing in that school? My sql: lycee Wladyslawa Jagielly a Plock

 

dzizes:> sorry: Oryx not Onyx

Silly me;P Oryx-I can also tell me the translation of this poem about the ending of world [The world is changing...]

 

"Le monde a changé.
Je le vois dans l'eau.
Je le ressens dans la terre.
Je le sens dans l'air.
Beaucoup de ce qui existait jadis est perdu,
Car aucun de ceux qui vivent aujourd'hui ne s'en souvient..."

 

I love Lord of the Rings!

It'd be "rather than" if you said "elle est petite plutôt QUE grosse ; otherwise, it means "she's short, quite fat". I am glad to have your correction on that Twinne. I want to use it in the correct way.
I think Oryx was too busy writing french poems to help.... Just kidding!

 

Hehe maybe you're right
THX Oryx

 

Kirtan_Loor, I start college in the fall, and at some point I hope to take a French class.

Thanks for the poems Oryx.

How about the titles of the books

The Hobbit
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

I love Lord of the Rings also.

 

Bilbo le hobbit

La Communauté de l'Anneau
Les deux Tours
Le Retour du Roi

Except for "Bilbo" they are quite litteral translations...

 

Hmm we've made veri nice topic, as i see

Thx oryx for titles. Can you tell me how it would be in french:

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror

From Discworld

 

It's probably impossible to translate this without changing drastically the meaning. The translator of the Discworld books in french is known to change lots of things by creating entirely new jokes. I don't have the books at home so I can't tell you how he did this one. Sorry.

 

Oh well, nevermind. I hope I'll be in france this year so i will buy it Thanks anyway

 

Hi France! Hows it going everyone?

-Pete

 

They're all gone to the wedding of one of the girls. But a few of us are left to guard the house.

 

Bon soir

I have a question: Is there anybody on this forum, who lives in Auxerre [sorry if i made a mistake] and will go to Poland, to Plock this sunday for french-polish exchange?

 

Nobody from Auxerre, as far as I know...

 

oh well thanks anyway

 

Bonjour. I'm traveling to Paris next week (Oct 3 - Oct 7) for business and I have the afternoon of the 3rd and all day on the 4th and 6th to tour around. I plan on going to the Louvre on the 6th, probably for the whole day. I was curious as to if anybody could recommend any good sights I can check out during my remaining free time. Thanks!

QGM

 

Hi France! Been a while. lol. Well, I'm back from college now so I have time to post here.

Anyways Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
How do you say that in French?

Pete
