If you follow me on Twitter, you already know what this page is all about. Here you can read famous quotations from songs, books, movies…anything from anywhere, (but must be famous) translated by me or by anyone who wants to contribute (credits will be properly given) in Quenya! I guess that’s the best & quickest way to practice Quenya grammar and syntax in order to develop your ‘elvish’ skills.

If you want to help building this page, you can leave a reply asking for a specific translation. I just need the sentence (of course) and the source. You can also leave a reply with your own translated sentence with the same info if you want it to be published here.
