Hantalye, I think. I think the suffix -lya means "your".

Btw, didn't we have an Elvish-thread somewhere? It dissapeared without anyone noticing a while ago...Time for revival?

I believe what the other guy said. Hantanye le. I thank you. Can't believe I messed up on that. Oh well, I'm learning.

Now that's not very nice, is it? *Has just spent a quarter of an hour painstakingly translating it*

Quenya is a great language for anything but cursing. Allright, here's something nice for a change: Linda Ruinel, máras elyë hanya quenya. Narlyë istimawendë, nildë.

"Be gone you, Ruinel! Even thou {word} like child! {Small or female?} do not listening this. Farewell!" anything in {} I was not sure about. But as I posted earlier, I knew a couple of words already... Hecal and hina. The new message (not sure if it will make up for this last one, though)... "Fair Ruinel, good even thou understand quenya." And as for you... Apanóna! Vá yaiwelyen! Mern ilohta imbë me. |

My first message was, Begone, Ruinil! Thou word/speak like a child. I will not listen to this. Farewell! A few notes: I did not intend to call you a child, but rather to say you speak (quenya) like one. I'm pretty sure the word quentë isn't correctly used as a verb form. Since Quenya=Speakers then Quen=Speak? Inyë is generally used as an intensifier. ('even I', compare Elyë 'Even thou') The proper usage requires combining the pronoun affix to a verb. The second you translate correctly, except for a slight few places where I flubbed the grammar: máras is the form of mára (good) with the suffix -s, indicating 'is'. So read 'it is good' {that} you understand quenya. And then Narlyë istimawendë, nildë- You are a wise-woman, friend.

yaiwelyen could either mean 'Be mocked by you' or 'mock you' (lyë=affix thou/you), in which case your sentance would read: Human, I will not mock (be mocked by?) you. Desire peace between us. Istarnyë! Cenvandinyal? Centátanya? Istar! Cotumolyë, Ruinil. Ilohta imbë me.
