Maybe a little off topic but couldn't resist. I just saw this in the best signature thread: "Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?"
It took me a while to understand that it wasn't Finnish and there wasn't anything funny in it. Do you see any similarities in it with this sentence: Simani julma niin eltaantuva. It's Finnish and means "my mead so rancid".

Anyway, beautiful language this Quenya, is it not?
