I want to learn to speak Elvish fluently, but I don't know where to start. I only know a few basic words, and it's only one form. Who would I, Melkaliel Elessar, daughter of kings, be without this language? Someone, please help. sad

Its impossible to learn this language (or one of these languages) fluently as there are simply too few words and too few people who speak it to practise.

But there are a lot of good internet courses to learn some basics and be able to create correct sentences (which is very difficult cuz of all that etymological stuff).
The best site is, of couse, ardalambion.com , but I think there isnt a Sindarin course yet, and Sindarin is surely better if you want to speak at least a bit freely. Quenya is like Latin ---

Thanks a ton! Wish I could return the favor...

Exa
Well you kinda did because you made me look for all these pages again smile

I forgot most of it and you made me remember... meneg hennaid smile

drunk_nazgul
Uh... ahem... meneg hennaid?

Exa
A thousand thanks smile or something like that. Thank you a thousand times... whatever.

From "meneg" - thousand (as in Menegroth) and "hannad" "thank" like the verb of "hannon le", "I thank you".

Oh, wow... Can you make up a name for my annoying friend? She wants a pretty name, but she seems stuck on one that's not meant for her.

Exa
What kind of name?
A translation of something?

Why, not meant for her?

drunk_nazgul
She chose Aniron (yeah, like the member). I Desire? She doesn't desire. She's more of a lonely wanderer, looking for someone to attach herself to. I hate saying it, but it's true.
Oh, great. Now I'm rhyming...

Exa
lol big grin

Lonely wanderer... would be Errandir or something.

Do you have a special idea for the meaning of the name?

drunk_nazgul
I'm so tired... like what? I can't think up any examples.

It's a female. It should be able to mean something, right? Okay, character sketch.

-Legolas's sister
-No love in her life
-No interests

How about "Boring Person?"
Sorry, I'm just so tired. And there's nothing else to do.
Last time I chatted endlessly to one person in a thread, everyone cursed us out. God Bless this site.

Uvelethwen sounds good. Thank you.
One more thing... how do you get accent marks?
