My partner has given me a multi-day puzzle for a special milestone, and there are several elvish (unsure if sindarin or quenya) I could use some help/verification in translating.

One hit is Huanië Which to my best efforts have translated to ‘hound like’ or ‘of hounds’

The other hint is: Airëarasselië Which is maybe ‘child of the daylight stag’

Neither of us are huge con-lang people so there may be mistakes. I just want to see if I am on the right track here. Thank you everyone!

Getting a For Frodo tattoo, would love to have it done in elvish script, hoping someone here can show me how that would be written. Thanks a ton.

Hello! My boyfriend is getting me a special ring. He had the awesome idea to have it engraved with “one ring to rule her heart” in Elvish/Tengwar. Can anyone help me translate?

I joined this subreddit hoping to have a place to practice Quenya, but I see that the only posts here are either "I want to get a tatoo is this correct?" or "I'm writing a story can someone translate it for me?"

Is there a good discord server, maybe a forum? Or another subreddit?

Hi good people of r/Quenya. I'd love a quick translation for a fanfic I'm writing. A character is speaking in Quenya to a horse:

"Gentle, now; you are safe."

and

"Thank you for bearing me well."

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

hii planning to get a permanent tattoo and need help with translation. I wanted a proper translation of "but no living man am i" tattoo. I know "i am no man" exists but it doesnt feel authentic enough to the text and i truly want to honor it. any and all help to get it translated in both language and script would be much appreciated!

Hey all!

I posted a similar question in r/lotr earlier today, I'm trying to get the phrase, "Now come the days of the king, may they be blessed," translated into a form of High Elvish. Someone on the other group gave me the following translation period. I also tried putting it into one of the resources that the subreddit recommends, but I am not too familiar with how it should look.

Could someone tell me if this looks accurate? I'm hoping to put it on a cake for a birthday party.

Thanks!

I'm forging a dagger for my daughter, Ember. I want to engrave upon it something along the lines of "Just a single ember can set forth the brightest flame" - Highlighting the theme of hope and rally... but also capturing the double entendre of her name (which, the noun ember I believe is yula.)

So is that the right translation into Quenya? Also open to other poetic interpretations of the phrasing as long as the include her name!

Hey all! I am adding to my lotr language sleeve. I want to add a phrase from the simarillion. I am unsure of size and spacing so I need help translating two phrases into high noldor quenya.

“And he came like a storm of laughter and loud song”

and the shorter version (space saving)

“A storm of laughter and song”
I have come across tooo many translators and I want to be as authentic as possible! Any help is appreciated!

Could anyone help me translate this into Quenya?

Sleep now,

Rest your head,

There is no reason to cry,

Do you not see the lights?

Tis the hour of their mingling...

Do you not see the bright leaves,

Of telperion, and of laurelin?

The streets of tirion,

They are shining in the glow

Hi, could you help me? I want to get a surprise tattoo for my husband. I'm not an expert on the subject; I only know that my love/my love is Meleth Nin in Tengwar, but I wanted to verify if this is correct and if you recommend another option.

TIA for your help

trying to get back into my project to make a more book accurate Glamdring, this is suppose to be a Quenya blessing to be inscribed on the blade, it is suppose to read "for the trees, the stars and the song" but I've lost my notes on how I got to this translation, could anyone check my homework?

This scene is utter garbage in terms of lore and character accuracy. However I wonder about the spell Gandalf is trying to cast. I may be wrong but it sounds more like Quenya than Sindarin.

I've found a Polish website, that broke down all the Elvish sentences from Battle of the Five Armies, but this particular sentence is not in it: https://www.elendilion.pl/2015/01/13/g-i-p-report-elvish-dialogs-from-the-hobbit-battle-of-the-five-armies/

Hi there,

Hoping to translate as best possible "your heart is my home" in quenya?

Best I could do from AI was "Hónelya ná márenya", but I don't quite trust it. Was hoping to then convert into tengwar.

Thanks so much!

I’ve done a small bit of searching but have been unable to find a translation of the poem/song the elves sing to Bilbo in The Hobbit. I was hoping someone may be able to point me towards, or provide, one.

The whole thing would be nice, but I’m most interested in the verse…
“The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.”

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I was recommended to post here!

Hello! I’m new here!
Can someone help me to translate “I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.” I've always loved that line of Gandalf's.
I try Tecendil but I want a second opinion from some expert here!
Sorry if my English is not the best! Thank you all.

Hi!

Somebody in another sub reddit very kindly helped transcribe the name of a proposal sword im getting engraved for my boyfriend - 'Bright Oath' as Calivanda. Just double checking this is correct before I go ahead 😁

(Also does anybody have a pronunciation just for when I tell him the name 🤣)

Thank you 😁

Hey Guys,

I'm making a friend a sword for her birthday and want to give it a Quenya inscription. Her name roughly means "beloved light/star" or "star/light who is worthy of love." If someone could give me the best quenya translation for this I'd really appreciate it since I want it to be correct for something I'm putting a lot of work into.

Edit: Her first name is Amanda and her middle name is Elle.

Hi all! I've been working on a Quenya translation of the Buddhist Heart Sutra (般若心経), working from the Japanese rendering of the shorter Chinese recension rather than directly from Sanskrit... for reasons. This is part of a larger project I'm doing, translating various esoteric texts into Quenya (I'm also working on the Emerald Tablet).

I'll probably make another post in the future asking for help with the semantic stuff, but for now I'm working through a few terms I'm just rendering phonetically and I'd really appreciate a sanity check from people who know the phonology better than I do on the transliterated/borrowed terms specifically. I'm just trying to verify whether these adaptations are phonotactically sound and whether there are cleaner options.

The terms in question:

Happy to share the full text if anyone wants more context. Thanks in advance!

Edit: removed initial G

So I would like to get a tattoo and tried to translate it on my own but got different results, I don't want to annoy with my tries and would kindly ask if someone could translate this sentence for me:"even in the darkest of times".

​

Thanks in advance!

I am planing to run a Dungeons and Dragons game written by someone else. Elves in the game named two dragons but since we wouldnt play in English I dont want to use provided names as is. Since I am more familiar with Quenya than Sindarin I tried to translate their names to Quenya but I didnt read the books for more than a decade and I forgot most of my Quenya knowledge.

Two dragons are named as Death-at-Sunset and Sunset-is-Nigh. Are these translations right?

Agan andúnisse for Death-at-Sunset and Andúne harë nás for Sunset-is-Nigh

Could anyone help with this translation?
