I learnt through a topic that some people in here are interested in languages.
How about a topic where we can share our languages? I'll suggest a greeting for example and members who are interested can post their translation of it in their own languages. (In English letters plz, so that we can all pronounce it) I'm an Arab, so I hope I can be useful as one ![]() Good Morning "Sabah el kheir" -----------> Arabic " Ohayoo Gozaimus" ------> Japanese " Bonjour" ------------------> French Anybody interested to add to my list? -------------------- Maya G.

@Maya: yes, it was created by Tolkien (I think I say so).
Note that in Lord Of The Rings, the language spoken by the Elves is Sindarin and not Quenya! An exception is when Frodo says a famous greeting in Quenya at some point: Elen siila lummen' omentielvo which means "A star shined on the moment of our meeting". Generally, in the times of The Lord of the Rings, Quenya was used mostly for ceremonial reasons, with Sindarin being the "common Elvish". Let's say the same using Sindarin (pronounced SIndarin) Mae govannen: Hello (actually: well met) (MY go-VAN-nen) Garo aur vaer: Have a nice day (GAR-oh our vire) Garo tinnu vaer: Have a nice evening (GAR-oh TIN-noo vire) Pedich Edhellen?: Do you speak Elvish? (PED-ick eth-EL-len, with th sounding like in "the") Iston le?: Do I know you? (IST-on leh) And yes, Tolkien was a linguist, you are correct ![]() -------------------- ![]() We Are The Lust that comes from nothing... |
