Gandalf is sponsored by Fast Line – where you get it right here & right now! Without it, he simply wouldn’t make it and you know that!

1 – What is Fast Line?
It’s the way I found to please people who do not want to wait in line for the answer of their requests. As the line is usually long (many people ask me lots of things), this is a shortcut if you are in a rush and want your answer quicker than the average.
-
2 – How long does it take to get my answer?
Up to 101 hours, instead of days, week or months in the regular waiting line.
-
3 – How does it work?
Click on the Fast Line buttons on the site, donate $1.01 for the Elvish School Project and leave a
message (if no message is left, please comment at the site then) with your donation, asking the name/famous quote/sentence/special date you want to be composed into Quenya.
-
4 – How many things can I ask with one donation?
Per donation you can ask 1 name OR 1 famous quote (taken from books, movies, songs, etc.) OR 1 random sentence at your choice OR 1 special date of your choice.
-
5 – How long can a sentence be?
Up to 80 characters (for publication space purposes). More than 80 characters, it’ll be considered as 2 sentences and therefore 2 Fast Line donations required to make them all fast!
-
6 – Do I need to have PayPal to use Fast Line?
Yes. If you want to use Fast Line benefits, you’ll need a PayPal account from any country. No geographical restrictions applied!
-
7 - There’s a bug or restriction on my PayPal account and I cannot use Fast Line through the buttons on the site. What do I do?
Well, I’m really sorry to hear that. Please, it would help me a lot if you could explain to me (or even print screen the error) so I can fix the bug if it’s within my reach. I wanna provide the best service possible and I thank you in advance for your help in this particular bug you’re experiencing. But do not despair! You can still use Fast Line! Send a payment through your PayPal account to erunno2@quenya101.com, using any currency you want (as long as the conversion is right of course) leave a message with it and the final result will be the same!
-
8 – Do I have to donate otherwise I won’t get my request answered?
No! I’m here to help and teach and I do it gladly for free! You can ask me anything you want and you’ll have it here for FREE! The Fast Line is just a resource for those in a rush, short of patience who don’t want to wait in line! As I’m not here for the money, I don’t charge people this and that for the knowledge I wanna so passionately share!
-
9 - What exactly do I get with each kind of request (name, quote & sentence)?
Well, here are the details of each one:
Names
- Included: Any personal name coming from any language. No surnames or family names of any sort allowed. Why? Check here under “Note on surnames”
- Within the pack: The origin of your name with the language it comes from and possibly even the rendition in it, the meaning of your name and the Quenya etymological equivalent of it as well as its analysis of why is constructed that way.
- OBS.:Important to say that an etymological research will be conducted and if any difficulty arise with it, you will be consulted for further explanation of your name’s detail (mainly for languages I don’t speak)
Example of a Name request answered
Quotes
- Included: Any famous quote coming from books, movies, songs, comics, games, real life, etc.
- Within the pack: The name of the famous author, the source, the sentence itself, the Quenya translation in Tengwar writing with audio included (by clicking the image of the writing) and the Quenya translation written in Roman alphabet.
- OBS.: By definition, famous quote is a sentence exactly written as its original source has said, sung or written it. If one single word is added or subtracted, it’s not a famous quote anymore and it’ll be dealt as a random sentence. See below under Sentences.
Example of a Quote request answered
Sentences
- Included: Any random sentence composed by you or anyone else (not famous). You can submit sentences in English, Español, Português, Deutsch or Français (the languages I speak and won’t have serious problems understanding them)
- Within the pack: The sentence itself, the Quenya translation, the literal translation to give a better insight of Quenya vocabulary, the full analysis of each word and elements within them, the “author’s” name, the date of answer and the Tengwar writing in Quenya.
- OBS.: Not much to say here, except to pay attention to the 80-character limitation as described in Question #5
Example of a Sentence request answered
Special dates
- Included: Any personal special date taken from the Gregorian Calendar spanning from March, 29th, 1 to March, 28th, 2305.
- Within the pack: The day of the week of the requested day, a famous news or event that took place at the same date, its elvish equivalent according to the Imladris Reckoning, the elvish day of the week and the yén.
- OBS.: It’s extremely important that when asking for a date conversion, one must determine if it’s before or after the sunset. It makes the whole difference to the elvish calendar and without this info, no conversion can be accurately made.
Example of a Special Date answered
10 – I’d like my request in different font styles. How many of them can I get?
This is a special feature! When you request through Fast Line, you can get up to 6 different Tengwar font styles. There are 4 packs to choose from. As an example, I used my own name. Check the packs below:
High-elven pack
Grey-Elven pack
Mannish pack
Machinery Pack
By default, High-elven pack will be used in case you don’t inform any preference concerning any pack. Also, if you want your request to be written in more than 1 pack, then more donations are required. Each donation allows you to choose 1 pack with 6 different fonts as shown above.
11 - Actually, I want no translation as I already have the Quenya text translated. I’d like to have it written with a different Tengwar font style. Can I get that?
Yes, that’s no problem at all. The rules for this kind of request are a little bit different though. You may ask any Tengwar font conversion you want (as shown in the packs above) up to a 80-character text. The image will be published at Quenya101 Language Institute Facebook page, following all the other time rules for regular translation requests. One important note: The Quenya text MUST be correctly written. Talk to me before requesting it, because wrong grammar, orthography, unattested Quenya words will make your text invalid for the rendition.
12 – I have already decided for one specific font! Can I ask it as big as possible?
Yes! That’s the Super Huge Single Pack. Instead of choosing a 6-font pack, you can pick one font and have it pretty big! It’ll be helpful for artistic purposes like tattoos and the like. Click on the example below to check the size you’re gonna get:
13 – I want ALL that now! Where do I click?
All roads lead to….Rivendell, right? So, click on the button below or any of the Fast Line buttons on Names, Poem & Prose, How do we say (…) in Quenya?, My special day in…the elvish calendar and you’re good to go!
Do you want your request answered fast without waiting in line? CLICK!

Voilà!
Hello,
I’ve just donated to get something translated, but I’m not sure how we get are to receive the translations. Email, a notification email to look on here in a section to make sure it is out?
It’s a treat to myself for my birthday in two days.
Thank you!
Hello, Eleni!
As we talked before, your sentence will be answered in the correct section (in your case: http://quenya101.com/how-do-we-say-in-quenya/)
Hello again!
I’m very grateful for all the communication and support, and I can’t wait to get my little treat.
I’ll be a tiny bit of a bother again and I’ll put another question here for you. As you can see my real name is Eleni, which means “stars”. I was trying to find how to write the word “star” or “stars” in tengwar alphabet on the site, thinking it is a common enough word to be requested before in a sentence but I must be very bad at searching. So if I can ask some help for this poor soul here, is it anywhere on the site that I can see it?
Thank you once again, for everything.
It’s a very common word (eleni). You’ll find in lots of places. Check the search for instance: http://quenya101.com/?s=eleni
I’m just looking for two words is all I’m a little confused on how to find just words and how they are written I’m trying to get a few tattoos and love this writing. I need family and faith in this writing and don’t know if you have already done it! I can pay and all that I just don’t know where to go and I need some help!
You find words by typing them at the search box. That’s a method.
You can also find them by using the search engine of your browser. (CTRL+F in Chrome)
You can go here: http://quenya101.com/how-do-we-say-in-quenya/ and request anything that you want.
You can also do it through FAST LINE
PS: Your Fast Line request is already answered here: http://quenya101.com/how-do-we-say-in-quenya/
I am looking at getting two words translated. Just two simple words do I need to go to fast line or what do I need to do. I don’t care about paying I just want it done right. I need Faith and Family translated is all. If I need to pay I will for sure. I just need to have it by tuesday. I will donate and do whatever I need to do.
Ok, alright, Talyn!

Hi, I have 5 random words which I would to have translated. Does that count as a sentence? Or do I have to pay 5 seperate times?
You need to pay nothing! All words you requested at the other comment are already translated here. Check the links left in the reply there.
Also, Names when you use Fast Line work differently. They involve etymology, so they are not simple as mere words. That’s why it’s 1 name per donation.
If you want 2 names to be done through Fast Line then, 2 donations are needed. Otherwise, make your request at the correct page: http://quenya101.com/names/ and wait patiently. Everything is for free here, you just need to be patient. That’s the major coin!
Thank you for your reply!
I tried the Fast Line last week and it’s amazing! So happy I found this website
I’m the one truly happy that you have found Quenya101!
Thank you!
Hi.
I have some song lyrics/poetry that I would love translated into Quenya.
The poem is 950 characters long.
Will you translate that? and if so… What kind (amount) of donation is required?
Firstly, I’d like to take a look at the text you want me to translate. Also, as it’s a long thing, we would set up a specific date for that to be released and your donation to be made.
Also, 950-character text would make 12 donations. ($12.12)
Here’s the poem/lyrics. I have made some adjustments so it’s near enough to 850 characters.
The reasons why we’re given life I’ve found it hard to see.
Maybe to dream or a slave to be, darkness seen, seems will always be. A fight for life, I won’t die inside.
I just don’t care, I’m stuck in nightmares.
Try to breath, reality bleeds, It’s own tight grip I then can’t see.
Lose control of sanities hold, an inner pain my life is blank.
This hole in me it just won’t fill, this mind of mine now damned to hell.
The sun gives light but there’s no heat, and I feel my heart only just beats.
The loss of pleasure relays depression, and if no cure life is over, tears will fall I’ll die forever.
We tear apart what’s hard to hold, then sheltered souls lie dormant don’t grow.
The hunt for life, a cause to find, to find what’s right in soul and mind.
The end of pain if pressure released.
Results in life, then I’ll rest in peace.
Ok, Leighton. I can do the whole translation for you!
But as said before, we gotta set up a precise date for your Fast Line donation (as this is not a short text and involves multiple donations at once!)
Also, are you my friend in Facebook or Twitter follower? I’ll need to have a quick and easy way to contact you while translating because I have noticed there might be some obscure wording which I can possibly need explanation of the core meaning.
At Facebook, I am Quenya Ilyen and Twitter: @Quenya101.
I think next week we can do and I’ll tell you exactly when green lights are on!
PS: Is this a famous poem or lyrics or something?
Namariae, I was trying to get something translated for a tattoo. Tried to do Fast Line but as I had no money in my paypal account and it takes 5-7 days for my transfer to go through, it was still telling me I had no funds.
I will be happy to donate to the school as soon as the funds arrive. I think that’s a great idea, wish I could attend!
My translation query is: “the world is changing” in Quenya. I know that in Sindarin it’s “I ama prestar aen”. (that’s from the film and that is the world is changED). In the book they are Fangorn’s words and I would assume he spoke Quenya to Galadriel and Celeborn. Just want to be authentic. This is for a tattoo so if you could give it to me in a couple differnet fonts that would be wonderful.
Thank you so much for your time,
most appreciatively
Gollum
Aiya, Gollum!
You can request anything you want here without using Fast Line (therefore no money needed). But you’ll need to have a lot of PATIENCE! The line is LONG and you’ll need to wait patiently. Fast Line is a feature created to help people without patience, who can’t or don’t wanna wait.
If you wanna use it, please be my guest! I’ll be delighted to help you with your sentence (with or without using Fast Line)
Namárië!
