*cough*QuenyaRules*cough*

i have to admit....i cant tell the difference

When I first heard the two languages, I didn't really like Quenya... its sounded so ... prissy to me and way too proud, kinda unnatural, why Sindarin sounds like the growth of trees or the waters of a small well and is a lot more... fitting, more natural to speak than Quenya, which is totally a language for books and writing etc.

Now I kinda prefer Quenya, mainly because the grammatical structure with all the suffixes is imo a lot more interesting than the Sindarin-one where the interesting details are rather found in the phonology

laughing kinda true I sometimes talk a few words to my friends in Sindarin, but hardly more than greeting and asking how they are i only use it for animals

Lol.

I've not really qrogressed much with Quenya.
I usually seem to be thinking about it im ny mind, but never alout. I'd hate to know how my pronounciation is like!
If I see a star, i'm usually thinking "varnyar eleni" or "mori talan". Just simple phrases.

SINDARIN Jumpy

i saw it on a news programme schools for elvish and things opened cause of the lord of the rings movies...that was disturbing

EEzy > D'oh

Lol, the same happens to me sometimes... especially when Im walking through a forest or so

I like both....if I'm feeling social, Quenya. And if I want to just walk with trees or sit in a puddle of water, then Sindarin.

But as I'm more people-orientated, Quenya it is

Though currently I'm in part Sindarin mode



bag Don't kill me Telpy cry

Lol
You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how EVIL it may be!


Sindarin = Evil
Evil = Wrong
Wrong = Sindarin

Quenya = Good
Good = I like
Quenya = I like

(Don't ask how that works)

*has been practicing more Quenya today*

I prefer Quenya actually though

What's the difference?

Traitor

What

you heard me lol

Hear is not understand

You read me then lol

I still dont know what you mean cry bag



offtopic

If someone spoke one of them I still wouldn't notice the difference.

But thanks for explaining Exa

Quenya's winning!!

WooooT!

I don't prefer either... Sindarin seems easier to learn though It doesn't have cases as Quenya does, and the sentence structure is much easier... but I'm trying to learn both anyway

:: Whispers... ::

QUENYA!! lol!
Where are you learning the languages from?

I've got books (And they are pretty good *hugs books*)

Oh wow!
I just have print outs from the internet!
*blushes*
Come to think of it, I've never seen any books on LotR languages in the bookshops.

sindarin= elves of middle earth
Quenya= highelves

just if anybody wants to know

Feanor, or Feanaro is Quenya, is not evil. He's just ambicious, and that is not evil. Presonally, I think he was powerful and creative, and although his actions did cause really bad things to happen, they allowed for a very good book to be written.


So, no Feanor, no Silmaril, no wars, no interesting stories, no Silmarillion. And if the Silmarillion didn't exist, now would my character.

silmarilon is much about feanor and noldors but its about many other things. but the noldor story wouldnt exist if feanor never did as he did.

feanor wanted to listen to morgoths lies. feanor still EVIL.

No, Feanor is not evil. He may have chosen the wrong path, but he was not truly evil. He's on the edge though.
(It's a reason why I like him so much... I have a weak spot for these good/evil-edge persons )

I can imagine
*is glad to live in a country where these exist*
I don't think there are many of them. And as I said; they're pretty good. From the internet doesn't have to be less good though (As long as it's not the Grey Company site...)

it seems to me that feanor doesn't regret the blodbath (im maybe wrong ). thats why i think feanor is evil.

Yeah, you're maybe wrong The Silm wasn't all too specific about it, but then, it wasn't very often where feelings were concerned it seems to me... And no one really knows about it I think, but then I haven't read a lot off additional book material where it could possibly have been stated, and my memories of the Silm are a bit dim... so I think my perception is a personal one as well as yours
It's one of these uncertain things that so much inspire fanfiction

i dont think its writen clearly if he regret it or not. i just got a feeling about that he dont regret it because i think he didnt just chosed one wrong path. i think he chosed many wrong path.

ok back to the thread.

quenya is probably the best language because it contains more words. but moast of the elves speaked sindarin, maby it's better because so many liked it. my vote goes to sindarin.

sindarin elves are the best singers. my vote goes to sindarin.

I love sindarin(still trying to learn it.)

Trying to learn both
