The Elfish Language & Elvish names

im too busy learning spanish right now.

Yes I am trying to learn the Elvish language.

im guessing Rogue Jedi is Tim?

umm... am i right?

i bought a book on the languages of middle earth at borders. i am studing it i dont really kno much though. it tells you how to write elvish aswell.

im also learning german...confoosing. 😑

i like this site http://www.grey-company.org/Circle/language/phrase.htm#greetings

lol well there is a book on Sindarin AND quenyan from amazon.com....but the easiest lessons i ever took was in a workbook at www.councilofelrond.com....just go to languages..workbook, adn they have lessona along with exercises...the language is hard to learn though...the adj go after the nouns etc etc. im almost fluent!!! just need to expand my vocabulary a bit lol

why leanr sindarin for............thats the latin version of elvish...........but anyway........i need to get some proper phonics or something to learn elvish.........

lol and its elvish that has me going back to learn hindi...........its quite familiar...........u have to learn the characters forst then how to translate

yea its hard... : /

Yeah I do 🙂 More Sindarin than Quenya and other languages, but I learn what I find...

Ardalambion is surely the best site.

Yah 😄
The best German site on Quenya I know is
http://www.lambion-ardava.de - similar to Ardalambion but German.

For Sindarin, there are a lot of quite easy courses but most of them are ****...

You can get a quite (quite) good one here (pdf) http://sindarin.de/sindarin-lehrbuch.zip

An easier (but not so correct one...) is fx here: www.sindarin-kurs.de

im learning elvish as well, its such a beautiful language and i enjoy learning it, this is the one i found http://www.khazad-dum.net/elvish/phrases.php

it gives alot of elvish phrases and words, its very amazing, im trying to find some more!

vedui' (greetings)

vedui?
Funny thats what I love about that language
I knew it as the lenited form of "medui" which means "at last" lol 😄
As in "Ai na vedui, Dúnadan" (Bilbo or someone says that to Aragorn, I think...) or "Arvedui", Last King.

I know just very few sentences and things like that; I'm more interested in the words and their etymologie and the grammar.

Na adírad 🙂

vedui' means greetings

hehehe i love it...its a very very interesting and beautiful language to learn

Strange 😄 😄
I'm irritated by that " ' " at the end... where does it come from? An earlier "g"? *confused* have never seen an ' at the end of a sindarin word 😕

Ok so another new word for me :]

actually, its from http://www.khazad-dum.net/elvish/phrases.php and that is the elvish way of saying greetings, look:
Greetings (everyone)
Vedui' (il'er)

its very interesting....as well as..one of my favorites Elen sila lumenn omentilmo which means A star shall shine on the hour of our meeting

and le abdollen, which means your late

its amazing and i am enjoying learning it

i have some friends of mine who want me to teach it to them

I've got more important things to do with my time than to learn a language that is never used...

hmm well thats your opinion, but alot of people are willing to learn elvish, and speak it, its a beautiful and amazing language to learn and speak and im happy that im learning it

I can write the elvish characters quite well. Reading them back is harder, but I am getting better. I learned from the appendices at the back of ROTK. I am just using them for english to get fully used to them for now. Looks beautifull. Way nicer than our Roman characters. I saw a font pack available for download for windoze somewhere a few years ago but I forget the site. I thought I had heard that the Silmarillion was available written entirely in Elvish language AND script. Talk about difficult. Anyone else hear this?

Yeah, I also write with the Tengwar characters... best writing system ever.

The difficult thing are the dozens of different systems and you never know which one it is 😄

I changed the English Style to a version that's pretty good for writing German, and I always write the letters to my fried with it - looks cool 🙂

I also learned some of the rune systems, but I forgot most of it again.

@OrliNElijahsGrl.... lol must be an other Sindarin than I learn 😄 😄
I thought "Greetings everybody" would be
Suilaid am'magui or
Suilaid na'fain
