You were asking- in questions, the verb goes at the end of the sentence. Do you mean, How did you find it, or How do you think it is? Tuvanen Eldalambe "Ardalambiondesse".

Ni yando, ar Elflingesse. Tuvanenyes atta loar yá. I have had some long breaks in my Quenya studies, though. Now I've promised myself that I'll buy myself the Silmarillion (the English illustrated version; I own currently only the Finnish version) after I've finished the Quenya Course in the Ardalambion site. Two more chapters to go... And thanks for the note about the verb in questions, OrnelÃ*rë Mistë!

Carë may also mean 'do' I believe, in this case it was supposed to mean "I did that also".

lia - I like the way you use this word as a modern concept word order: maybe "lia sina" is better, as in Cirion's Oath ("vanda sina")? Quote:
Lia sina ná alasse alta!

mentanya- Joy, that you have found it, this thread! My insight tells me this thread shall not die. (sorry, I meant to put a comma after 'you have found it'.) mentalyë- I do not understand (using the root word w/no ending) you said that, for I do not understand all words! Thread this is joy great! (It is also proper to put the adjective before the noun as in English sentence structure.) mentanya- Or vérenya, umin merë quettarinya rúcinuva. |

Aha! But I've translated an entire poem, and some of another one. And not just some crappy poem- Emily Dickinson. It's hard to translate the words exactly. The Quenya version could never be as good due to our lack of vocab, but I did manage to get a rough translation.
EDIT: I can post them if you want.

I have wanted to translate The Raven by Edgar A. Poe...
As you may guess, I haven't even tried yet I have translated another poem too, but mostly I have kept to making sentences, like: A-nanta i Aran Eldalieva cuiva, ar Moringotto hanuva caurë mi orerya! A long time since I made this sentence, not sure if it is correct (perhaps rather (...), ar Moringotto rucuva mi orerya!)

What Ruinel said, trans:I have no time to change my avatar, Falagar. But I have found this. What do you say? Good or bad?

Melmë is a noun though, not a verb ("I love" would be 'melin [yë]'). And sina should be at the end of the sentence, I think...
