The Elven-speaking thread

[morvaltur]

Mae Govannen, meldonya. This thread is for anyone who desires to practice their speaking of the various dialects of Elvish from JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
The only rules are that in the title box of your post you put the dialect you are speaking in, and that you italicize, like this, anything that is in Elven. Thanks and have fun.

 

[morvaltur]

Elen sila lumenn omentilmo. Shall any come and join me? All can post here, even if they do not know Elven but have a desire to learn. Questions about Elves/Elven? Just ask me.

I think that this is Sindarin. but i am not so sure. Where is a good place where i can translate english to Quenya/Sindarin?

That depends entirely on which of the two you want to translate it into. Why don't you PM me and I can help you out, unless you want to do the translating yourself, in which case I will post some links here.

 

[Lubiana]

I used to know a lot of Quenya, but it's been a long while. Aiya (hail or hello)

 

[morvaltur]

Mae Govannen, Lubiana
Well, here is the place where you could regain your skills if you are interested.

 

[Lubiana]

sure, I'd love to re-learn it. Will you be posting lessons or how will you do it? What does Almare mean? I can't remember for the life of me.

 

[morvaltur]

No, I will not really be posting lessons, etc. This is more of a thread where you can come and speak it with other Elven-speakers. If you need to know specific information, I can give you that (i.e. verb conjugation tables, meanings of words, phrase translation, tengwar inscriptions, etc.)
Almarë can be translated as "blessings," "blessedness," "good fortune," or "bliss." Hope that helps.

 

[Lubiana]

Oh yes! I remember now! Thanks. Hantale- thanks

BTW Lubiana, if you want some good sites that teach elvish, I'd be happy to recommend some... although there are some that are not recommended by anyone out there.
...that is, when I can figure out how to link them in a post or PM... Im naer (I'm sorry).
That's all from me for now...

Wormie, what dialect of Elvish is that? I recognize some of the words as Quenya, but others I am not sure about?

 

[Lycana]

Looks like Sindarin to me. I recognize some of the words

 

[morvaltur]

I thought Eru was Quenya. Is it Sindarin also?

 

[Lycana]

I know some words are the same in both Languages.

 

[morvaltur]

Quite true. I shall have to look up "God" in my Sindarin dictionary when I get home.

 

[Lycana]

Maratuldë Meldonyar!
(Welcome my friends)
Aiya! Essenya Lycana. Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo!
(Hail! My name is Lycana. A star shines on the hour of our meeting!)

This is Quenya by the way

 

[morvaltur]

Hantale. Cenin.
(Thanks. I see.)
Mára aurë. Essenya Morvaltur. Manen nalyë?

(Hello. My name is Morvaltur. How are you?)

It is well to see fellow speakers of Quenya on Christian Forums.

No galu govad gen
(May Blessings go with you.)

All Quenya except the last phrase, which was Sindarin.

 

[jochanaan]

Aiya, meldonyar! Essenya Jochanaan. I have never studied Elvish formally, but I love languages and have visited Middle-Earth often enough to declare residency.

Is it kosher to quote things in other Middle-Earth languages such as Dwarvish or the Rohirrim speech?

Nai hiruvalye Valimar. "Maybe thou shalt find Paradise." Namarie! (For this time, anyway. )

 

[morvaltur]

Kosher? hmmmm... It really does not matter to me. You may do so if you wish. Just remember that this is a forum to speak Elvish mainly. Of course, a thread to speak Dwarvish would be interesting... I do not know many people who speak it.

 

[morvaltur]

And unfortunately, none of them are on Christian Forums. Perhaps I should invite them...
