![]() ![]() Well few people learn Tolkien's languages ( I don't know anyone in Greece, save myself) so I tried to initiate Quenya to some people (who were supposed to be interested). Finally I was really sad to realize that they didn't really want to learn Quenya but learned a few words, enough to show-off. That was SO sad. You know, Tolkien's work is really sacred for me and I can't stand show-offs. So I decided not to introduce Quenya to anyone else unless I'm absolutely sure of his/her intentions. It's not that I'm an arrogant or so, but there are things that many people are not ready to understand yet. That's why the best thing to do is try to keep myself safe from harmful ignorance. ![]() |

Yes, definitely.
As for the translation, good job! "Quetto" is the genitive of "quetta", meaning word. The "en" part is the dative. The silly things i attempt

Hantanyel. Nan, "quetto" naa anwa. (o displaces a, as seen in Namaarie: "Vardo (Varda) tellumar").

Don't worry about Falagar. We're not his enemies. We only poke fun at him from time to time because it's fun to make him sweat alittle.

No I didn't think you were serious, and I was joking too, of course.

Aa hanta marie. By the way, I received a PM from one called Nariah of Rivendell, who is interested in Elvish.
