So, I've been (re)writing a Hobbit/LotR/Silmarillion fanfiction series (and numerous spinoffs) for some time, now. I finally splurged and bought Thorsten Renk's Quenya and Sindarin courses, and I picked up A Gateway to Sindarin as a birthday present to myself. The more I learn about Tolkien's...
What a wonderful place you have here!
I apologize for yet another “help me with Sindarin please” post, but...um…
Help me with Sindarin please?

I’d like to have a sword inscription double-checked before approving the art. I’ve stuck fairly closely to known language snippets and of...
Hi All,
I'm new to Tolkien's languages and all of their intricacies,
I am possibly wanting to get a tattoo, I translated the phrase: "Chivalry Never Dies" into the Tecendil -- Tengwar Transcriber, (Don't know how accurate it is...unfortunately,) so I was wondering if anyone more well versed in...
I want to translate the quote "Further up and further" from C.S Lewis's the Last Battle into Quenya. I want to get it as a tattoo. I have already figured out the Tengwar transcription. I just need to verify the Quenya translation. So far what I have is, "Ambela amba ar ambela mina". Any help...
I'm sorry if the question has already been answered, I check the threads and saw no subject about it so far...
No, I'm not getting a tatto :p

Hallo Elvish-fans!
I started to write a story in Quenya. I would be pleased if you´d like to continue writing - could become a nice project!
Here´s the link to it (I´ve uploaded it to my deviantart-account)...
Hi!
Can someone help me? Want to check if the phrase below makes sense, and, if it does, translate into the original alphabet

Thanks!!
Hi everybody, I am new to this forum. I'm currently analyzing some of Tolkien's languages for a course at university. I've been looking at grammars and dictionaries, but couldn't kind two words which I need for my project.
Does anyone happen to know if the words for "persuade" or "convince"...
Hello!
I've been playing about using the Tengwar to represent English words for a little while now, but have stumbled across a situation I can't quite figure out.
If a word ends with two vowels, can you have a sequence of two vowel carriers next to each other to finish the word?
For example...
Hi guys,
I have a question regarding how to write the name Holly in Quenya. The particular problem I have is if I use a tilde underneath the L to signify it's a double consonant can I still use the Y underneath the L too or is it incorrect to use both underneath one letter?
If that's the...
Hey guys,
this is the transcription of "Tomorrow will take it away, the fear of today". I really can't find a mistake, but I want to be double sure because it's going to be a tattoo! :)
I'm thankful for any help! <3
Have a nice day!
UPDATE: I removed the picture, not current anymore, but...
Hi! So I'm planning on getting a tattoo of the phrase, 'keep your feet', a small part of Bilbo's, 'It's a dangerous business' saying that Frodo recalls in Chapter 3 of The Fellowship of the Ring. I want the phrase in Sindarin, written in elvish lettering. I've tried to figure it out on my own...
Hey, guys
I'm getting a tattoo done in about a month, and I'm a little unsure if my Sindarin writing is correct or not. I'm using this quote from a song in LotR:
"Ae ú-esteli, esteliach nad. Estelio han, estelio veleth."
(For those who don't know, and are curious, it translates to "If you...

A Facebook community page about the Quenya101 language institute has been created.
I can't help feeling that this campaign is doomed to failure; but the supporter list and initial posts are very entertaining: http://www.facebook.com/IwantItinQuenya and the publicity may have other benefits.
Hello all,
I'd like to check a Sindarin translation and (if the translation is correct) the transcription that goes with it. I won't take credit for the whole translation - it's heavily borrowed from Ryszard Derdzinski's translations of the Riddle of Strider and The Road Goes Ever On - but I...
Hi! if anyone could help me translate "Not all those who wander are lost (next line) A light from the shadows shall spring" into Sindarin that would be fantastic! I want to keep them in two separate lines so that when I have them transcribed to Tengwar I'll know which is which. Thank you!!
