Transcript

Mierin
"It's a beautiful song."
An'am dena.
(It is a) song of beauty.
Pronunciation
[a.ˈnäm ˈdɛ.nä]
Charn
"Mierin Sedai!"
Mierin Sedai!
Pronunciation
[ˈmiɛ̯.ɾɪn sɛ.ˈdäɪ̯]
Mierin
"You're from here, aren't you?"
Weladthi kodome?
(your) family (is from) here?
Pronunciation
[wɛ.ˈlad.θi ko.ˈdo.meɪ̯]
Notes

In this sentence we see that "your", "is", and "from" are all omitted and implied. Weladthi is sometimes used to mean home, but it seems to carry the connotations of where family is rather than a specific dwelling or place.

Charn
"Yes, Aes Sedai. My family still farms these fields. They are bringing in the harvest now."
Taak, Aes Sedai.
Weladthi vlagh'sor, hlan vlagha.
Yes, Aes Sedai.
(my) family field-work, (they) harvest (the) fields (now).
Pronunciation
[täːk ˈäɪ̯ːs sɛ.ˈdäɪ̯]
[wɛ.ˈlä.tʰi vläg ˈsɔɹ hi.ˈlän ˈβlä.gʰä]
Notes

Vlagh'sor seems to mean "farm" here. Vlaghan is used as a plural of vlagh in Coming Home, but here it is heard without the terminating "n". It is possible that either the "n" is hard to hear, or that this is simply a variant plural.

Mierin
"You should go visit them."
Jala'ti sein.
Go to them.
Pronunciation
[ˈdʒä.lä.ti seɪ̯n]
Notes

Here, jalou is compressed to just jala, though it is possible that if written it would still be written as jalou'ti. "You should visit" is left implied.

Charn
"Today's too important for you, isn't it? I can go tomorrow."
Jiakai, ca'matuet aha
Jalanu welakai.
Today, (it is) too important (for) you,
(I) can go tomorrow.
Pronunciation
[ˈdʒi.ä.ˈkäɪ̯ ˈkä.mä.ˈtu.ɛt ˈä.hä]
[dʒä.ˈlä.nu wɛ.lä.ˈkäɪ̯]
Notes

The most notable thing here is that Charn pronounces asa as "aha". This could be either a particular accent, a mistake either in listening to the audio or in saying the line, or it could represent an alternative form. The future tense here is used to indicate potentiality; "I can" is implied.

Mierin
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow everything will be different."
Welakai?
Welakai aes gadou!
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow all changes!
Pronunciation
[wɛ.lä.ˈkäɪ̯]
[wɛ.lä.ˈkäɪ̯ ˈäɪ̯.ɛs ɡä.ˈdäo̞̯]

Ah, choshih'ath, gavane? Nane asa jaevae?
Ah, (it isn't my place) (but), what? Was (it) you found?
Pronunciation
[ä ˈtʃo.ʃi.ˈäθ ɡä.ˈvä.nɛ ˈnä.nɛ ˈä.sä ˈdʒäɛ̯.və]
Mierin
"The thinnest part of the pattern. A place I think we can punch through... and find what's on the other side."
Fonnai tamara'simp. Mozhlit ortu, jaendar logae.
A place (where the) pattern-thins. Possibly (we can) open (it), (and) find the awaited (thing on the other side).
Pronunciation
[ˈfo.näɪ̯ tä.mä.ɾä.ˈsimp ˈmoʒ.lit ˈɔɹ.tu ˈdʒä.ɛn.däɹ lo.ˈʒeɪ̯]
Charn
"And what's there?"
logae gavane?
What is awaited (on the other side)?
Pronunciation
[lo.ˈɡäɪ̯.ɛ ɡä.ˈvä.nɛ]
Mierin
"A power... that can be used by men or women... The true power. It will change everything. Can you imagine? Something anyone, anywhere can use. Not just Lews Therin and the Aes Sedai. Even you, your family."
Walden.
Walden aes sedonae.

Mierin
"They wouldn't have to bring in the harvest by hand."
Spiat hlan. Tarim pi'hlan vid sovin'sor.
(It could) help harvest. Not only harvest with hand-work.
Pronunciation
[ˈspi.ät hi.ˈlän ˈtä.ɾe̞m pi.l̠än vid ˈso.vin.ˈsɔɹ]
Charn
"Yes, but... it feels good to. I can't explain it. To feel the wheat you grew in your hands... The soil you tilled beneath your feet... It feels good."
Taak, no, hlan uiwa kutyalot vid sovin.
Manu kutya kazka sovin'sa. Feros muad basho so soreat.
Kutyalot uiwa hlan.
Yes, but, harvesting feels good with hands.
(I) think (the) feeling of grain in hands... Worked soil under (your) feet...
(It) feels good (to) harvest).
Pronunciation
[täːk no̞ː hi.ˈlän ˈβ̞i.wä ˈku.t̠ʃjä.lo̞t vɪd so.ˈvɪn]
[ˈmä.nu ˈku.t̠ʃä ˈkaz.kä so.ˈvɪn.sä ˈfɛ.ɾos ˈmuä̯d ˈbä.ʃo so ˈso.ɾɛ.ät]

[ˈdʒä.läu̯]
[he.ˈat.su ˈnin.tɛɪ̯ wɛ.ˈläd.tʰi]

Notes

Denu is the future tense of dena, used as a suggestion for what he should go do.

Charn
"Are you sure?"
Dai nosane?
Speak (in) conflict?
Pronunciation
[däɪ̯ no.ˈsä.nɛ]
Notes

Evidently, to say "are you sure", one idiomatic construction is "speak conflict?" or "speak in conflict (with what you just said)?, asking if she wishes to speak against what she just said.

Mierin
"There's nothing more important than holding on to the people you love."
Duente ninte atha'ohlan ca'matuet sul sein.
(It is) so important to hold (a) grip (on) them, your loved ones.
Pronunciation
[du.ˈɛn.tɛɪ̯ ˈnin.tɛɪ̯ ˈa.θän.ˈo̞.län ˈkä.ma.ˈtu.ɛt.tsul seɪ̯n]

Notes

Logae — Pronunciation
Mierin pronounces this "lo-zhay." Charn repeats it as "lo-guy-eh."
Aha
Charn pronounces asa (you) as "aha" — a completely different phoneme.
Gortista
Likely a variant of gorista (use). "Mozhlit gortista aes atha'an" — "possible to use by all people."
Tarim
Appears twice in parallel constructions where "not just" or "not only" fits.
