HI! I finally decided to tattoo myself with this gandalf line: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us" anyone know a good translation tool or straight up the translation in Sindarin?

Thanks to everyone!

Hey, I am looking for some study buddies to learn, deep dive and discuss Sindarin Language together. I am from Berlin, Germany and studied linguistics, and my dream is to gather all my thoughts and study results as a modern linguistic approach on describing (Neo)Sindarin Grammar. If anyone is interested in deep diving with me into Sindarin, please send me a chat message here! I’m looking forward to hearing from you guys!

I want "fealty with love, disloyalty with vengence as a tattoo but idk how to spell it in sindarin, can anyone help?

I am trying to write a Sindarin fragment for a piece of fanart. Here's my attempt:

Narn i Chîn Húrin
Dírhaval e·mbar Hador o Siriombar echant i Veleglind hen
Im Elrond eithro o Siriombar teithant i thiw hin

First of all, I'd be very grateful for any grammatical corrections since my mastery of the language is inexistent and I'm more or less stitching together bits and pieces...

Re: grammar, something puzzled me even as I wrote it: I'm obviously copying a great deal from the Doors of Durin inscription, but what's with the inflexion or lack thereof in echant / teithant? Are the first person singular and second person singular identical here? Or am I looking at the wrong elements? Sorry if this sounds stupid.

On vocabulary:

- I used 'echad' to mean 'make' (in this case, the object being a song/lay, compose but not physically write down) but I suspect it's not the best choice... any better alternatives?

- For the Havens of Sirion, I took 'Siriombar' from HoME 5... it's Noldorin, but would it still be compatible with the rest? Or should I try to go for something else? ('Lisgardh' for something attested in the same geographical area? 'Ethir Sirion'?)

Again thanks a lot in advance and apologies for any crimes against Sindarin.

Hi all! I'm hoping someone will be able to help me find a reference I can't seem to place. I seem to remember that in between the "Goldogrin" of the 1915-20 stage and the 1930s "Noldorin", there was one transient word something like "Geleidhiel/Gœlœiđiel" or "Golöidhiel" for the Gnomish language. I can't seem to find the reference, and it's not on Eldamo. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Any help would be appreciated. I don't need this for anything important, it's just bugging me.

I would like to tattoo the word Stay in sindarin, Is there a way to see how It looks?

Hello everyone!

I'm getting married soon and would love to get the Sindarin for "I choose a mortal life" engraved on my wedding band in Tengwar. Would any of you be able to help me translate that? Many thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of a translation, or could help translate the line from The Hobbit in this post?

“bright are the windows of Night in her tower”

Cheers!

Can anyone translate this? Just wanting to confirm it is correct before getting it tattooed. Any help is much appreciated!

Mêr în annui, annui 'weth. Cîr în an nîn, annui 'weth. Mîr în an nîn, annui 'weth. Cîr în an în, annui 'weth.

Love you little girl
Better than I love my
Better than I love myself
Want you and me
Forever, ever and ever

Hello with a pre-thank you. I would like one word transliterated from English into Sindarin. That word is: Molly

This is for a tattoo in remembrance of a deceased one. I've looked online especially at the site 'Tecendil' and 'Of Elvin Make' (both of which I think gave me the correct transliteration) but I'd like to check with a real live person. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I created this name to mean something like wanderer of waters/water wanderer: Nenyarandil (feminine gender). I researched using sites like realelvish and parf eldhellen and my knowledge of Nenya from the books, and my thought process was nenya- (of water, like how the ring name is translated - but is that only for Quenya?) + -ran- (to wander/wanderer, like used in mithrandir), and -dil as a feminine suffix. Does this make sense?

So in short im making short stories for myself and some roleplays, and I wanted to expand my vocabulary for my own uses, as a native romance speaker, I wanted a way to add alot of vocabulary to my world, id like some advice on how to morph said words to sindarin or ideas to keep it sounding elvish so to say, its an odd request, but my idea is

Words ending in -tion make up over 100k words in english, and nearly all can be used as a verb also

Ex: to animate=animation

In spanish or italian the verb root would be anim-ar/are

So it becomes ánimo, animi and so on to keep it basic

And you can turn these words to -tion form

So for the elvish part I was thinking things like

Information would he "informath" in elvish

And inform- would be the verb root

I know its unorthodox but for my personal uses I wondered if anyone has done something similar to increase vocabulary for personal uses

I lol f tr RT this one and dnm acts ty my fence uhh

Hello guys, and thanks to everyone for checking in. I and my fiance are getting married soon, and we both are quite the Lord of the Rings fans. We want to engrave in our wedding rings the phrase "one ring for eternity." I already researched a bit and came to the conclusion that we would like to have it in Sindarin with the Tengwar "alphabet" because it's the most used form in The Lord of the Rings movies.

I'm open for anything new and general help for this.

A big thanks beforehand to anyone helping me out.

I was looking around for depictions of Samwise's gift from Galadriel, the "garden box" containing soil from Lothlorien and a single Mallorn tree seed. The lid was supposed to be inscribed with the elvish letter for "g", however, in this artwork the symbol is in Folthorc for the letter "F" instead, as seen here:

Sourced from: https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Sam%27s_garden_box

From what I can tell, if Galadriel was using Tengwar/Sindarin, it would have been this symbol instead, right?

Hi folks! Trying to translate a snatch of Barnyards into Sindarin as a motto, which is complicated by the lack of 'drunk'.

​

The original, barring dialect, is:

​

I can drink and not be drunken,

I can fight and not be slain

​

How do we feel about:

​

Polin soga a law dhannathy;

polin maetha a law dangen

​

It survives back-translation by AI, but I'm well aware that isn't much of a brag.

​

Enormous thanks for any help!

i would like my next tattoo to read “This Machine Kills Fascists” in sindarin but i cant find a reliable source. could i get some options or translations? thanks!

edit: okay so i’m a complete novice but after using all the sites/sources i found here i came up with:
“i 'aud hen dág bauglir”

i think (hope) it translates to “this device slays tyrants” which is as close as i could get without using neo-sandarin (but i could be wrong about that).

any thoughts, improvements, corrections or adjustments? i’m trying to use only full sandarin but i’m okay with widely accepted neo-sandarin alternatives if they work better or my translations were wrong.

I have a pen case that I'd like to customize by adding the phrase "You will not know" to the border. Could you please help with the translation into Sindarin (if that is what Celebrimbor would have used with Annatar/Sauron)? Thank you.

I’m wanting to translate the phrase “Trust God, clean house, help others” into Sindarin and then get it written in Tengwar so that it looks like the One Ring writing. I know nothing about the languages so I just did some Googling and found this translation, but I wanted to come here to ensure its accuracy:

Brenia Eru, amganno i gwas, anno nathas a nín

Tecendil then said the attached image would be the correct Tengwar writing of it.

Can anyone tell me if I’ve found a good way to do this or if there is a more accurate translation?

Hello there,

I'm not to deep into the lore but my father was and i want a tattoo as an hommage to him. Can you help me? I tried some time with several online dictionarys but turns out I'm pretty dumb in using them.
"Have I told you lately that I love you?" would be the sentence I want to translate

Any help is much appreciated. ❤️
