How do we say (…) in Quenya?

There are some unchangeable truths about Quenya: it’s Tolkien’s masterpiece, it’s superbly well-done, it’s beautiful and it’s limited!

Due to its vocabulary limitation, I announce here the beginning of my compilation of the NEW QUETTAPARMAR. Am I going to create words out of the thin air? No, no way! That’s not the goal, not the point. I’m gonna bring together all the adaptations, useful expressions, etymologies which sometimes you must use if you wanna render a Quenya translation.

I’ll expose here some of the questions people have already brought to me (How do I say this? How can I write that?) in order to help you all at once at one place at the same time!

If you wanna request any random sentence, do it here! (Famous quote or lyrics? Then do it there!) Go to the bottom of this page and enter your request at the comment box there. Use your patience and when the time comes, you’ll have it translated as accurate as possible into Quenya with its analysis!

So far, check below what has already been answered:

    How do we say and write in quenya “Love is the only truth”
    I would love to have as tattoo.
    Thanks!

  2. Ana

    HI. How do I say “dum spiro, spero” in quenya? I want to make a tattoo and I don’t wanna make a mistake. I found a photo and i was wondering if it’s correct.(in the right corner on photo)-http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/baalthezzar/trns29.jpg

    • That sentence is already requested here. Right now it’s #22 in the waiting line. Just wait for it and you shall have it.

      The image you showed me is NOT Quenya at all. Surprisingly, it’s Tengwar ENGLISH Mode for a LATIN text….in other words….nonsense!

  3. HasJam

    I wanted “nine” tattooed in sindarin, like the cast of LOTR, but i am not exactly sure what the character for nine is, or whether the cast has the translated spelling tattooed i.e. in english, or the elvish spelling
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    • I cannot help you with Sindarin. My expertise lies in Quenya only. Also, what they got tattooed is NOT Sindarin. It’s Tengwar English Mode. Careful there!

  4. Tess

    Love
    Friendship
    Loyalty

    or maybe:

    Love
    Faith
    Hope
