i haven't been on bd for a while and it looks like some things have changed, so i was wondering where can i ask someone to translate something in to elvish?

Welcome back!
The language forum was getting out of control, and therfore was closed untill further notice.
Hope I could help you!

lathspell · 03-12-2003, 03:47 PM

Hey Waenfalathiel,

maybe you can put the piece of Elvish you want to be translated in here and someone might be able to help you with it.

greetings,
lathspell

Scott · 03-12-2003, 04:46 PM

If you would like, you can either email me or send me a personal message with any translation questions you might have. I don't claim to be an expert, but I'm pretty well-versed.

Waenfalathiel · 03-13-2003, 01:54 PM

thanks you guys
i would like to have this translated into elvish, "the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"
Thx

LadyMeg · 03-14-2003, 01:40 AM

Suilad,

"the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"

But it would have to be translated this way in Sindarin;

" The greatest thing to be learned will be to love and be loved always."
(There is no word for Return in Sindarin but maybe you could add (all ways) pân rado ".

" i beleg bach na- istui innas no an meleth a no milui pân rado ".

Hopefully someone else will have a go.

i'm wondering what my name might mean. got if from the name generator. i'm afraid i'm a real newby here, so please tell me if this is posted to the wrong forum.

Waenfalathiel · 03-15-2003, 05:18 PM

Luinfang, feel free to ask any questions here.

thx for the translation LadyMeg.

i was wondering if someone could translate it in to Quenya?

LadyMeg · 03-15-2003, 06:52 PM

Suilad Waenfalathiel,

"The greatest thing to be learned to love and be loved in return."

Here is the quote you wanted in Quenya.

si uuvea nat an na istima an melme ar na nilda mi entulesse

Your Quote in Sindarin;

"The greatest thing to be learned to love and be loved."

i beleg bach an no istui an meleth a no milui

That way it's easier to compare the two.

There was one really good site for Elvish and Tolkien's many other languages. It was Arma-something. I really can't remember the name. Can someone PLEASE post a link?

elven maiden Earwen · 03-16-2003, 06:27 PM

okay thanks and how do you say have in Quenya

LadyMeg · 03-16-2003, 06:54 PM

Suilad elven maiden Earwen,

You would have to find another word instead of 'Hope" because there is no word for hope in Quenya.

Think about another word or phrase.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-16-2003, 07:13 PM

okay but what languge is estel in

LadyMeg · 03-16-2003, 09:17 PM

Suilad elven maiden Earwen,

estel is Sindarin this is what it means;
a noun. hope, trust, a temper of mind, steady fixed in purpose, and difficult to dissuade and unlikely to fall into despair or abandon its purpose.

have hope, farewell
garo estel, navaer

milui galu - LadyMeg [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 03-16-2003, 09:19 PM

okay sorry i was kinda confused

Scott · 03-16-2003, 09:32 PM

On the ardalambion site the wordlist shows estel as being used in both Quenyan and Sindarin.

So,
"Haryalye estel, Namarie."
would be the translation... I think.
(without the accents... my MS Word version is too old [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

LadyMeg · 03-16-2003, 09:40 PM

Suilad Luinfang,

Sorry this has taken so long!
Here is what your Name means in Quenya;

Luinil - Neptune (planet)Star(Blue Spark?)
Fang - Beard

Neptunes Beard
Blue Star Beard

Waenfalathiel · 03-17-2003, 01:43 PM

thx for the translations.
could some one tell me what my name means?

LadyMeg · 03-17-2003, 06:16 PM

Suilad Waenfalathiel,

This is all I could come up with for your name, it is in Quenya.

falath -coast, beach, shore, coast-dwelling.
iel - is usually an ending of a Word meaning Female.

milui galu - LadyMeg [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Scott · 03-17-2003, 10:24 PM

Waen could be taken from the word "wa" meaning wind. So the name could be Windy Beach/Shore.

Waenfalathiel · 03-20-2003, 04:32 PM

thx LadyMeg and Scott
