• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Go to Google, type in "Ardalambion" and go to the first site. It has many good resources for dictionaries and lessons. Actually, here is the link to Ardalambion: Ardalambion

Badfic = bad fanfiction
Ah. I thought it was something like that. The thought doesn't bear contemplation.:eek: :doh:
The worst are ones which have characters which are nicknamed "Mary-Sue's" by good fan-fic writers. Here is a description of Mary-Sue from fanfiction.net -

I must apologize to you all, good friends. I am afraid that I may not be able to post the poem contest until this weekend. Unless something changes, I believe that my work load may prevent me from getting it typed up. Once again, I am sorry to disappoint you all, but I will get it posted.

I aurë ná andavë ar lenca

Mornië utulie tope nyë

Nanye vanwa mí I hísë

Ve I Anar cala.



(Here is my translation of your poem and the reasoning for my changes. Autë means “wealth, prosperity” and aute is not a Quenya word. You probably want to use andavë for long. Andavë deals with time length, whereas anda talks about long, as in trailing. Sort of like a tail, I believe. Mornië should probably be the word used for darkness. My dictionary does not have mornia, and the song, “May It Be,” from FotR, attests to mornië in the words, “Mornië alantië.” These words are translated “Darkness has fallen.” Those are all of the possible changes I found to suggest. Keep up the good work and do not forget accent marks and the double dots (I forgot their real name). Great translating!)
Lycana, I would be very interested in seeing the language you created.
