sindarin

Hello guys, firstly I would like to apologise for starting a new thread as there are hundreds of them regarding that particular topic. I am sorry. Secondly, being just a fan of the Tolkiens work and no expert about the languages created by him, I kindly ask for your help. Recently the dog I...

This is mostly idle curiosity, but I haven't found (and possibly this is due to my impatience with research) a definitive answer in how one should go about constructing names in either of these incomplete languages. I find both to be lovely languages, though I admit I am partial to Quenya for...

Do you know if there is any Sindarin class here because I can't find it

Years ago I found the name “lugien” on the internet, but I can’t find it anymore. I made a research and find out that the suffixes “ien” means “daughter of” and “lhug” means snake. Can I put the name as lhugien? Is it right? Thanks anyway.

Hello all, mae govannen, I hope you all are doing well and are ready for a somewhat lengthy post! 😊 First off, you need to know the difference between the two types of Elvish I will be covering in this post and the next, Sindarin and Quenya. Sindarin: Sindarin is the Elvish I speak, and write...

Hello, can someone please help me out by telling me which syllable is stressed in the following words and why? Galadhon Celebrant Niphredil I've looked through the appendices, the guides, etc. but I've also seen/heard these pronounced with both first and second syllables stressed. I'm looking...

How can I properly convert genderless Sindarin names into male and female ones? I have one specific name in mind: Calaear. I would love to use it for a character, but I can't seem to settle on the correct way to feminize that name. Every attempt I've made thus far has that character sounding...

Hi guys, I want to ask you if you can help me with a message written for me....

I am trying to design a memorial tattoo for my little brother that has just passed. He loved everything elven. He would write his journals in Sindarin. I need to know how to spell his name using the Sindarin alphabet. His name is RYAN KEITH SMITH. Or perhaps a translation of the meaning of the...

Hi, so I've been working on translating two sentences into sindarin. I'm going to have them tattooed so I want them to be as accurate as possible. They are: "I have passed through fire." and "and I have forgiven those who trespassed against me." (a mix of the last lines in the lord's prayer and...

Hi friends, I'm just starting to explore Tolkien's languages and I'd love some thoughts about Quenya and Sindarin. I know Quenya is supposed to be slightly more complete, but Sindarin seems more popular maybe? Wax lyrical if you'd like, I'm curious and dipping my toes! :)

I've completed another rotation of sorts and it's time to come around again. So I'm going to lead it off with a question about Sindarin. Then I can spend the next days foisting my brash/half-informed ideas upon some of the other forum threads. I have two more compound/name translations...

Mae govannen! I know it's kinda rude to start my life in this forum with a request but I'm still gonna do it while in the same time feeling bad about it. Anyhoo: I want to tattoo a short sentence in Sindarin. I translated it from German but in English it says: "The next story awaits." Because...

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! 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...

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!!

Another newbie requesting some help! I tried to transcript this to sindarin: Security withoutimpulsivity Humilitywithoutlow self-esteem Determinationwithoutimpudence Than i had some restrictions and replaced: varna ava- hoore / safe without impulse lanta-raana ava- verya-le / settling without...
