Damn. I got it wrong, then. Quote:
"E!" Quenya (lambe) exists glorious. Is what you said... but if you want to say "is" then you can say... Ai (alas)! Quenya lambe (for the Quenya language/tongue) ná alcarinqua. Sanda, Aden... Quenya lambe ná alcarinqua. |

I think that E means "indeed" in Quenya

"úharyan" = ú-harya-n = not possess I = I do not possess. The pronoun is placed after the word "possess". "handë" = knowledge So... I do not possess (this) knowledge. You are correct about the second sentence. "Nás sinya quetta?" "Nás" = Ná + s = is + it = it is. Again, the pronoun is placed after "is". "sinya" = new "quetta" = word So.... It is new word?

OK, now I have time to respond:
Maara tulie! Ar melin Quenya. Quetel maarave! You can use ea for to be, but often we use: naa present nauva future nee past It's a misfortune that Tolkien never fully completed the word "to be". Any double vowels you see are the same as accented vowels. Welcome!

You have a Quenya name, yet you do not speak our language? Well, we will have to fix that.
Most of us speak Quenya lambe (Quenya language) here. But you can find some who might speak Sindarin with you here as well. The best site I've found for either is www.ardalambion.com. There's even a course for the language in the list of links. Go and read a little and then come and practice what you have learned here. We are all willing to help. |

Thanks Ruinel... I'll have to see what I can pull off. I'd LIKE to learn, but wonder if, realistically, the other demands of life will crowd it out. Maybe I can give it a go. I'll check that link!
IS it a Quenya name? I took it from the list of Arnor's kings (Isildur's youngest son, o course) - and I thought the Numenoreans generally used Sindarin (??). I do understand that some words carry over. From definitions I've seen of Elendil, Elendur, Meneldil, Meneldur, Valandur, etc. - I take it that my name means something like "One who loves the Valar" - is that close to right? I actually just took it because he was a high king at Annuminas (hey - longest reigning!) and I'm really fond of the whole Arnor history thing... |

"God-friend, or Vala-friend" is the interpretation of Valandil. An apropriate name for you, I think. |

Thank you!
I wasn't sure if it was "friend" or had to do with "love" - I think I saw something on the latter - but maybe it's akin to "phileo" (SP?) the Greek root for "brotherly love" (source of the name for Philadelphia). What I saw (I forget where) said that "dil" indicated "love" - or "one who loves" (I don't think I'm exactly quoting whatever I read - just the gist), while "dur" indicated "servant" or "one who serves"... is that accurate? Is it Quenya or Sindarin or both? |

Well it's a bit difficult for me to translate the rest cause I'm from Greece actually and some letters you write ( like ë, Ã*, etc) appear to me as greek letters. It's hard to distinguish which is which ( it might take me some time to get use to it) once again I'm going to need your help. Hantanyel vanima. Namarië. |

(A) Star shines upon the hour of our meeting, friend. We wish more people speak in this place. We could all do as Ornelira does... she simply doubles an elongated vowel. And we don't need to put the diaresis on the 'e' at the end. Its only there to remind us to pronouce that 'e'. Would that be more helpful? |
