Lasto beth nin!
If you know Elvish, and even if you don't, post your favorite quotes in Elvish.

But be sure to give a translation for the beginners out there!

Have fun. http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/gathering.gif

Galadriel: "I amar prestar aen. Han mathon ne nen. Han mathon ne chae. A han noston ne 'wilith. "
Translation: "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air."

Aniron (Theme for Arwen and Aragorn)
O mor henion i dhu:
Ely siriar el sila
Ai! Aniron Undomiel

Ai! Aniron...

From darkness I understand the night:
dreams flow, a star shines
Ah! I desire Evenstar

The song of the star enchants my heart.

u guys r crazy how can u speak that shit it is soo hard

welll the pronounciation aint that bad once u can find the right guide

Have you got a site for DeNiro to pick up the tongues of the Elves?---perhaps that could help.

I'm still working on getting the pronunciation down. It reminds me of so many other languages--including German, and its hard to keep the different rule apart.

Elvish.org has links for the Elvish lines from the movie

( Sorry, I cannot add links until I am more well known P )

i love
A si duarth u ortho. U or le a u or nin..
: The world have not spread his darkness. Not on you, not on me..
(something like that, i don't know the perfect sentence..)

I like this one.
The Fellowship of the Ring:

Arwen: "Frodo, im Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nin, tolo dan nan galad."

Arwen: " I am Arwen,I've come to help you. Hear my voice, come back to the light.

This really sounds magical.

i have a small quote .

amin mela lle

i love you

quiv yassen ne' agar,
ten almere, atear, ar 'aina neva

awaken with out blood,
for bliss, peer and happiness nears

elrond: Tangado haid! Leithio i philinn!




elrond: 'Hold positions! Fire the arrows!'

exas last post...that is now saurons theme tune...so when he comes out in the prologue sing that everyone ok

My favorite Elvish Quote is "Le abdollen"

which was quoted bye Leggy, it means "your late" for thoes who dont know

Is this only for LotR? Cause they are other Elven quotes; my fav is: "Est Sularus Oth Mithas" which translates "My Life is My Honor"

I dont understand Elvish

Well, I should think it's meant for the Elvish languages devised by Tolkien, seeing as this is the LotR-Forum.

BTW: That quote seems rather unoriginal, IMAO - the manner and sound of the words in particular seems like half-bastardized Latin, and then simple sounds thrown together....I'd like to know where that's from, actually....

hahaha. Elvish is a lot of fun to speak....try learning some simple phrases. if you say something to someone that doesnt speak it, their face is PRICELESS! : ) trust me.

Your little research was correct, it's "meleth".

"veleth" is the lenited form of the word: In Sindarin, the first consonant of a word is altered in specific ways in certain "environments" (in a sentence), eg. after articles or prepositions. In particular, the "m" of "meleth" turns to "v" if the word follows a vowel (like the article "i", if it is used as a direct (accusative) object, if it is the second word of a compound word, if it follows a preposition ending with a liquid sound, and in some other cases.

Yes, the reply is sort of late.

Exa, are we digging up posts from mid 2008?

Only posts in threads on the first page of this forum. Which, unfortunately, reaches back to threads with no posts since 2009.

But I just couldn't leave an elvish mutation question unanswered on the first page bag
