Sindarin

Here, I'm going to post a load of Elvish words and their translation. It will all be Sindarn, as I know very little Queyna (they use Queyna in the films)

Feel free to post any Sindarin you know, and if anyone knows any Queyna, please make a thread, as I have little Queyna at my disposal (although I can easily find it if enough people show interest)

Uuma quena en'mani lle ume, ri'mani lle umaya; uma ta ar'lava ta quena ten'irste' - Speak not of what you have done, or what you are going to do; do it, and let it speak for itself

nice..though i doubt i'll use it.
there's a pretty big Queyna dictionary at the end of the silmarillion

I havent got silmarillion.... its on my xmas list tho!

It's a good book. Good idea Phoe, though I doubt it will be of use to me, being a Dwarf and all.

Find some Dwarvish stuff. ✅ 😄

I'll try

Queyna

I have found some limited Queyna - mostly just what they used in the film.

Queyna is for the High Elves, and the nobility of the Sindar and Silvar Elves. Other Sindar and Silvar Elves do know Queyna, but they mostly use Sindarin, apart from on very important occasions.

This is what Galadriel says in the prologuey bit to FotR...

I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, han mathon ne chae a han noston ned 'wilith.

Translation: The world is changed; I can feel it in the water, I can feel it in the earth, I can smell it in the air.

Elrond's Battle Cry

Tangado haid! Leithio i philinn!

Translation: 'Hold [your] positions! Fire the arrows!'

Arwen to Frodo

Frodo, im Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nîn, tolo dan nan galad.

Translation: Frodo, I am Arwen - I've come to help you. Hear my voice... Come back to the light.

Literal Translation: Frodo, I [am] Arwen. I come to help you. Listen to my word, come back to [the] light.'

Khuzdul

Here ya go Rex - found ya some Khuzdul (EXTREMELY limited!)

anyone else want phrase/language in particular, PM me, and I'll do what I can

Caradhas

Remember the big snowy mountain that the fellowship couldnt make it across? well in dwarfish, it is called Barazinbar - meanng Redhorn

Dwarvish Battle Cry

Khazâd ai-mênu!

Translation: The dwarves are upon you!

Gandalf

Another one of Gandalf's many names - the dwarfs call him Tharkûn, meaning 'Staff-man'

Thanks Phoe! Being the only Dwarf in the game, I feel special!

Special!
