Jacob's line in Quileute in New Moon Movie

We are editing this old post to add this tidbit we also posted elsewhere on the site. Dazzled By Twilight featured this audio recording of Quileute phrases, and it SEEMS that the phrase, Kwop Kilatley as is seen in searches on the internet, or more accurately kwopkalawo’li” (pronunced quo-p-kah-lah-WOH-oh-lee), is spoken on this audio recording. He says it 3 times, slowly. It means I love You. 

Quileute audio of Jacob's line in New Moon

 
Overwhelmingly in the fandom world, the most asked question or talked about topic has been Jacob's line in Quiluete to Bella RIGHT before the phone call from Edward. Taylor commented on this topic before the release, telling us all that he's just not going to reveal the answer.
BEVERLY HILLS, California — As any Twilighter worth their "Spunk Ransom" T-shirt knows, Jacob Black is played in the movies by 17-year-old Taylor Lautner. Jacob is a Native American from the Quileute tribe in La Push, Washington; in real life, Taylor also has some Native American blood running through his veins, courtesy of his Ottawa and Potawatomi tribe ancestry.

In a key scene from this weekend's highly anticipated sequel "New Moon," Jacob leans in to kiss Bella — but before he does, he whispers a Quileute phrase to her. So when we caught up with Jacob recently, we had to ask: What is Taylor saying in that scene?
"I don't want to tell you what I'm saying," he teased, insisting that the line of dialogue is meant to be an Easter egg that only the most hard-core "Twilight" fans will be able to crack. "That would defeat the whole purpose!"
But if fans really want to know Jacob's smooth line before he goes in for a kiss, they'd better hurry. As part of his research, Taylor has spent a good amount of time over the last two years with real-life Quileute tribe elders — and he told us that only that small handful of people would be able to properly translate.
"There is, I believe, only four people left that speak Quileute," Taylor said of the dying language. "We were able to talk to one of them. It was awesome to actually talk to her; she knows the language fluently."
If we really want to know, Taylor joked that we would have to get ourselves a DVD of "New Moon" when it comes out, track down a Quileute elder and hope they're willing to share some tribal secrets. "You might have to, Larry, or I'll just leave and you can just guess," he teased. "What do you think I said when I leaned into Bella right before I try and kiss her in the kitchen? [All I'll say] is 'Blah blah blah blah blah.' "
Obviously, I'm no Melissa Rosenberg when it comes to writing dialogue, but when I guessed that it was a romantic line that had Jacob pledging eternal love to Bella, Taylor said I was on the right track.
"I'll give you one thing: You're close," he said, flashing that trademark bright, white Taycob smile. "You're close. You're along the lines."

Reading on the Quileute Nation's page for language. I think that the "le" ending is "I'm" or "I am"
You can discuss the topic here at Twilightmoms

Don't bother emailing your closest Quileute representative either because they are keeping hush hush. They posted on their Facebook page:

Jacob’s line in Quileute

Dear Fans: Thank you for all the calls and emails regarding the scene in the movie where Jacob whispers to Bella in Quileute. Please know, we would love to translate the phrase for you, but out of respect for Jacob’s feelings for Bella we are unable to at this time.


If you really want to try and figure it out yourself, here are a few words and phrases
Quileute Words and Phrases: 1st set
1. Havh chi/8 [hah-ch chee-EH] “Good morning”
2. Havh roch9mtiya [hah-ch toe-CHOKE-tee-yuh] “Good afternoon”
3. Havh aw8 [hah-ch uh-WAY] “Good night!”
4. Ayqsocha [uh-YAH-so-CHUH] “How are you?” (-cha, said to a man)
Ayqsochid [uh-YAH-so-CHID] “How are you? (-chid, said to a woman)

Google turns up the answer of: Stay with me forever. But to be honest folks, if the Quileute nation isn't talking, then I really don't think the power of Google has the true answer on this one

Wikipedia says "The words in Quileute were very long and could sometimes express ideas rather than only words."

  13. Everything said made a bunch of sense. However, what about this?
    what if you composed a catchier title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a title that makes people want more? I mean "Jacob's
    line in Quileute in New Moon Movie" is kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoo's front page and see how they create news titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people interested about everything've written. In my opinion, it might bring your website a little livelier.
