What Did Kili Tauriel Say in 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'? Here's What That Brief but Passionate 'Amrâlimê' Means

Still from the movie 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' (2014)

You can say the same thing to your husband or wife, why not?

Kili and Tauriel have several memorable scenes in The Hobbit trilogy, but one of the most significant is the moment when the dwarf first confesses his feelings to the elf. How did he do it? Not openly, but veiled.

He tells her the word "amrâlimê". This is neo-Khuzdul, a reconstructed language of the dwarves, and translates as "You are my love" or "My beloved". For Kili, who, like all his people, is not used to expressing emotions in words, this was a special confession.

It is important that he used the language of his people, because dwarves rarely shared their innermost feelings even among themselves, let alone open up to an elf.

The Hobbit Still

This moment became a key one in their story. Unlike the classic conflict between dwarves and elves, Kili and Tauriel showed that real feelings can transcend any boundaries. Although their love never had a happy ending, these words remained an important part of their short but touching story.
