    Help translating Quenya or Sindarin

    There are a lot of tools out there ot translate from English (or many other languages) into Tengwar, but I have found nothing that will do the reverse. I have acquired a remarkable piece of fan art, a massive wall map of Middle-earth executed in a fine and experienced hand, and written entirely...

    Quenya translation question- looking for a second opinion to confirm

    Hi all! I'm new to the forum. I'm trying to translate movie Sam's phrase, "There's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for."

    Where is the best place to learn Quenya?

    I've been looking for different places to study Quenya for a while (I've been studying it lightly but I would like to learn more than just basic words), and I can't seem to find anything good. Sites like Parf Edhellen are great for word-by-word translation, but they don't really offer any...

    Quenya translation check

    I recently translated one of Taras Shevchenko's poems into Quenya (it's a very rough translation, I haven't studied Quenya much), and my school asked me to recite it for an event tomorrow. I was wondering if someone could just check it and point out any blatant grammar mistakes to me, so I can...

    Quenya Translation Double Check (Or just outright fixing, lol)

    Hey there! Long story short, I’m looking to see what “Everything sad came untrue” (a take on Sam’s line from RotK) would be in Quenya. I’m WAY new to the language and so what I originally had was, “Ilya naira ola alenwa”. But I got that double checked and someone else came up with, “Lana...

    Hello everyone! For Christmas, I managed to find a Quenya & Sindarin dictionary that I plan to gift to my father. Given that I do like linguistics and the universe of Tolkien, I’m trying my hand at translating some sentences to write on the gift card. It’s been really interesting, I feel like...

    [Quenya] Devising an appropriately regal name

    Máriessë! I am a learning amateur in Quenya (and in Tolkien's languages generally), and I greatly admire the flow and sound that they bear. I am working on a poetic narrative that will feature the appearance of an elder sky-being, unlike any other that appears in the story, and I would love to...

    Engraving Of A Sword

    Hello linguistically gifted people, I would like to have a sword engraved. If I have understood correctly, the preferred way to do this in Middle-earth would be in Crith runes and Quenya. For the Quenya part, I would need someone who can translate the following for me: Spine of the Hedgehog *...

    Crafting an 🧝Elvish phrase for a vintage press's ornamentation

    Here's an inscription question: We are working on restoring an 1897 Ferracute E-52 coining press. It is a bit unusual... one of the earliest of the up-acting knuckle-type presses manufactured in the United States, and becoming quite rare. I want to make it something of a showpiece. It will be a...

    Has anyone tried playing Minecraft in Quenya before?

    Minecraft has a bunch of language options that aren't strictly real-world ones. For example, 'Pirate Speak', LOLCAT (can i haz cheezburger), and normal English but written upside-down. And well, I set my Minecraft to Quenya, and it is very entertaining. I've noticed translations being updated...

    Seeking Quenya names connected to forests: any ideas?

    Hi there, I'm new here. I'm trying to find a good name for a character I've created. It's supposed to be a female name that's got to do with forests. I would rather use Quenya than Sindarin. I know the basic rules (I think), but I'm confused. I think I saw "Tawariell" as in the daughter of...
