VEDA 208: Learn to Speak Elvish

[@mirandajoss9236]

What have you guys learned so far ?

FORK YEA it’s hard to learn a language that has limited resources, few speakers and is still being constructed all while you’re working and tending to a household. Any progress is s major achievement! Keep at it!

I hope to learn elvish mainly for 2 reasons 1) so I can talk with my friend without being overheard 2) to me, it's an extremely pretty sounding language This was a well done and useful starting point for that, thank you.

[@maatheizzda3751]

For the record: The pronounciation in the movies isn't that good (but it's ok). The most wrong part about the pronounciation is the stress. They stress all the words on the second last syllable in the movies, that's not right: The stress is on the third last syllable, except if the second last syllable is long or if the word only has 2 syllables. Also, some vocab: - No is not yes, accually there is no word for yes. No means be, and you have to conjugate it into 3rd person singular to say "it is", and that would be ná. - Ú is not no, ú means not. No is baw. - Gi melin is not I love you, well it is, but that would be a litteral translation. In Sindarin, there are 5 cases, and here you have to use the accusative case for the word you (gi), which is gen, so correctly it's: Gen melin. - Also a bit grammar: If you wanna use possessive pronouns, you don't have to use words, or rather: Don't use words. The natural way of using possessive pronouns is through suffixes: E.g. "my name" would be "i enethen" rather than "i eneth nín". The possessive pronoun words are really no possessive pronouns but the genitive declination of the personal pronouns and therefor used isolated like e.g. "this book is mine" "i barf hen nín" (litterally: the book this mine); "this is my book" would be "sen i barfen" (litterally: this the book-my).

[@jackaguirre6217]

You seem to have a good grasp of Elvish, how did you learn it?

[@cestlavie3572]

Some corrections for this: 1. Yes, _no_ does mean "be", but there is no well supported conjugation for the verb _na-_ (to be) in Sindarin. David Salo did reconstruct the entire verb in his book, but that is outdated and not currently accepted as correct. 2. _Baw_ rather means "don't", expressing refusal or prohibition only, not "no" in a general sense. To simply deny facts, _û_ might be better, though it is somewhat outdated considering its prefix form _ú_ was discarded by Tolkien in his later writings. Another option is the recent neologism _law_ to express "no". 3. Not sure where you found this, but _gin_ is indeed the accusative form of the second person (informal/familiar case) as of most recent publications. The nominative form would be _ci_ . However, based off of attested phrases it would likely be more accurate to say _melin gin_ instead. 4. Possessive suffixes are not as well attested, so I wouldn't recommend using them. I'd say it's safer to say _i eneth nín_ than it is to say _i enethen_ .

Never be ashamed... I literally have a copy of the elvish language in a little red book that I had for over 27 years that I never learned. That is shame, you're awesome. Love the video six years after you posted it. :)

[@aperson2868]

I know I am late, but the difference between Quenya elvish and Sindarin elvish is that most of the elves that sailed from Valinor to Middle Earth speak Sindarin, while the elves whom stayed in Valinor spoke Quenya, or dialects of it, like Vanyarin. The elves whom left for Middle Earth met the elves who never went to Valinor, The Sindar, and started talking their language. Great video though!

[@atanvardo5730]

No... The Elves who sailed from Valinor to self-exile in Middle-Earth were the Noldor, who spoke Quenya (Noldorin dialect). They eventually came into contact with the Sindar (Grey Elves), who always lived in Middle-Earth (the Sindar were among the Elves who never completed the journey to Aman/Valinor which the Elves began some time after their awakening by the shores of lake Cuiviénen, instead settling on different parts of Middle-Earth). The Sindar spoke Sindarin. The Elves who didn't even start the journey to Aman were called the Avari.

[@zilcherr]

So glad some humans out there are teaching us to speak Elvish! I am just now learning. I adore their language. Thank you for this video!

[@JudyAnnTare]

Hi. Today is actually the first day that i'll be learning how to speak Elvish and this video is really helpful, i hope you'd do a series of it. To be honest, i have just watched the hobbit 1-3 just this month bec of a friend and before i was not a fan and stuff. I dont know about lotr (i know. My life... it sucks lmao) so i'll be watching its series maybe next week. I just have to say i really got into this kind of world and i want to be a part of it that's why i want to learn how to speak elvish. Geez, i have never been this nerd but i love it. You did a great job 😁😊

[@alansheridan9592]

You really have a pleasing voice, your Elvish was lovely to listen to

[@dreamingfifi]

Hi! One little correction on the translation of "Andrew"... -ron isn't attached to adjectives, only verbs or nouns. It's like -er that we stick on verbs, like bake>baker, teach>teacher, and so on. It's actually two different suffixes combined. The -r is the doer part and the -on is means the doer is male. I'd translate Andrew these two ways: Anunir-Manly Man; or Anuon-Manly One (who is male). Novaer!

[@MrFrancesco31]

Eh?

[@margasa7]

dreamingfifi If you are an elf then I am not going to argue with you. If you are human, and more knowledgable than I, allow me to ask... Andrew means that his name is based on the noun "andros", or man. His name, like all names, is a noun. So, why wouldn´t it me ok to add -ron to a noun based on an adjective. it is still a noun, because it is somebody's name. Question: where do all these people speking elvish come from? it´s surprising!

[@dreamingfifi]

margasa Well, elves don't exist, but I've been studying Tolkien's languages for 13 years. To answer your question - indeed, names are nouns. Andrew is based on "andros." But, "Anu" the Sindarin word is an adjective, not a noun. It means "masculine". To make it into a name, you need the appropriate suffixes. I suppose you could also make the name by using "pen" (person), making the name Anuben - Masculine Person. My favorite translation for Andrew in Sindarin actually is Firion - Mortal Man. As for where we come from - do you remember the elvish dialogue in The Lord of the Rings movies? It was in Neo-Sindarin and Neo-Quenya, fan-extended versions of Tolkien's languages. People have been getting together and analyzing and translating in Tolkien's languages since The Lord of the Rings was published. If you read the Letters of JRR Tolkien, you'll find a bunch of letters from fans asking about the languages. We've been around for a long time. With the internet, we're more connected than ever before, and we're able to share the scholarship we've done much more easily. My website is Realelvish.net, and there's a Neo-Sindarin textbook on there, if you're curious.

This is simply fantastic! I love languages, but more so do I love fictional languages because they are so rare in speech or even written. I hope one day we are able to piece together the entire language and simply speak it with anyone who knows Quenya/Sindarin. It is very beautiful~ Keep up the great work!

Goheno Nin Meril ! -ron/-on is for male, you should use -eth, -el, -il or -ril. Whatever Meril is already translated so i think your name is "Meril" :)

[@meghan4233]

Colin LR My name is Meghan which is a derivative of Margaret, meaning pearl. I couldn’t find pearl in Sindarin but it’s “Marilla” in Quenya. Would I add anything to the end?

[@fitorazogarcia]

@@meghan4233 I would go with Marilleth. Sounds awesome!

[@randomchild4223]

I think most feminine endings don't change the meaning so just add what sounds good. Exceptions are -wen (maiden) and -iel/-ien (daughter of) which add meaning. -il, -el, and -eth are safe bets.

If you guys go to Sourceforge.net, you can actually download stuff that will allow you to use the tengwar characters as one of the fonts on your computer, including one that will allow you to shift the keyboard to typing tengwar directly. Note that it doesn't literally put the characters on the English alphabet equivalents, so if you start typing something in English it'll LOOK Elvish but sound like gibberish. You're welcome. Namarie!
