[Lucy most Valiant]

would you mind translating that for us commoners not gifted with the the elvish tongue?

[Aravis Kenobi]

I could tell you a lot of the Elvish, only, because I can't really spell any of it, and becuase some of it wasn't subtitled, I can't write them down. But, I do know a lot.

It has taken me many hours of studying, but now I can carry out a real conversation in Elvish!

yeah, may it be, by enya. but still its Elvish (Quenya, i believe.) i used to know a lot more, but i forgot it. those are just random ones i remember.

[Crimson]

i just remember the ones from the movies...escpecially Arwen's elvish and some of Aragorn's, Legolas's and Elrond's. and a little of Galadriel

[Aravis Kenobi]

What's the difference between Quenya and Sindarin Elvish?

[Saruman]

What's the difference between Quenya and Sindarin Elvish?

The Quenya is probably the earliest, most original form of the Elvish language, and it is the language used by the Valar. In it we learn the true names of the Wizards (Saruman = Curumo, Gandalf = Olórin, Radagast = Aiwendil, and then there's Alatar and Pallando, of whom we know little, etc.). And most of the other Elven names we know can be translated into something in the Quenya from the Sindarin (i.e. Celeborn = Teleporno).

The Sindarin is the most common form of the Elvish tongue and is probably the one in which most of the dialogue we read in LOTR is used. Of this I know little else, but I believe you can find more information on Wikipedia.org.

[Aravis Kenobi]

Ah, so basically your username is Saruman. That's cool. I don't research this stuff.

[Cereniel]

i love learning about words! ya know, where they came from what they mean, and how we use them now if its different from its original intent. i think the name is etymology, word origins, something like that. i did a book report on Tolkien once, and found out he was interested in it too, which i thought was cool..... :D

[Shadeslayer]

I know this one website where they have Elvish sayings, there really cool, you can learn to say I love you, and so many others, here it is: arwen-undomiel.com

[Aravis Kenobi]

Oh, yeah. I've been there. It's fun.

Hello, my name is Galena. I can speak the Elvish language. (actually, not yet, but I'm learning!)

....So yeah. :D my sister and i are learning elvish together. I've been to Arwen-undomiel.com a lot. I don't go on the forum, but sometimes I go on the tagboard. Do any of you go on there? If you do, PM me and tell me your name. mine is Galena.
