Elvish- Quenya and Tengwar...Help me, please! It's very important to me.
|
Can't Post

Hi to everyone.
I'm new in this forum, but I'm a devoted Tolkien follower.
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm Italian and that my english is a total mess, so forgive me if you can  .
I need someone who can translate me these Tolkien verses in Tengwar/Quenya, and post them in elvish (not in common letters but the elvish runes).
"Still round the corner
There may wait
A new road or a Secret Gate.
And though I oft
Have passed them by,
A Day will come
At last when I
Shall take the hidden
Paths that run
West of the Moon
East of the Sun."
Please, help me, I'll be surely lost without your help.
In any case, thanks to everyone.

Here (work all done, heh).
Is it accurate? I have absolutely no idea. I know Sindarin a little better than Quenya (and even then, not that much), and I haven't studied how the Tengwar letters are written in ages (I remember that the vowels go above/below the consonants, and even then they aren't necessary, I remember Elendil's name being written as L - ND - L), but... it's something.
If there are any lurking language experts, perhaps they can check it out.
Also, welcome to the forums!

It's a link to a gentleman's site where you can transcribe/translate words or phrases into Elvish.
Dan Smith's Transcriber
Down the page where you see Tengwar has the blue mark (choice), click on the PNG just below that so the translator will work better (at least it does for me :)
You can still use the dropdown box in that Tengwar line to choose Quenya, Sindarin, Parmaite, Noldor and Formal elven script.
Type the word you want to translate in the very top box marked wynik and click on the transkrybuj button below the second box. That usually works best for me :)
Your English is VERY GOOD!! I hope you come back as often as you like and share your thoughts and love for Tolkien's works. It's going to be very exciting here now that The Hobbit films are starting to become a reality!!!
Enjoy!!

I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.

if you click on the Union Jack [flag] at the very bottom it translates the Polish into English - which might make it a bit easier for you. [it did me]. Your English is very good, I couldn't write or speak Italian without the aid of a translator. I'm constantly amazed by the fact I can't normally tell the difference between non-english and english speakers here. Except for American-English speakers, they spell everything wrong.

I can't help you with your question (I just love to look at the elven writing, it looks so pretty).
But I just wanted to say hi to you.
Great to have another European-sib on the boards, I'm from The Netherlands.
And don't feel too bad about any spelling mistakes. First the boards do have a spelling check (I use it all the time), and besides that, people really don't bother you with a typo or misspelling. So just join in, before you know it, your English is even better than it used to be.
Welcome and enjoy all the fun here!

It has been a while since I translated something into Quenya, but let me see what I can do.

I know you asked it to be posted in Tengwar, but if you put this into the site mentioned earlier, it will look how you want. Like I said, I haven't done this in a while, so if there are any errors, I apologize.
Quenya:
Er os i winca
Tás cé dar
Vinya men hya Muina Ando
Ar ómu rimvë
Alangienyë te
Aurë tuluva
Kyelvë yassë lelávan i furin
Vandar ye yurar
Númen i Ithil
Rómen i Anor
Literal translation:
Still about the corner
There may wait
(A) New road or Secret Gate
And although frequently
I have passed them
(A) Day will come
Finally when I will travel the hidden
Paths that run
West (of) the Moon
East (of) the Sun
This was rather hard, because there are some words that Tolkien never made. The word "os" for "about" and "dar" for "wait" came from the root words from the Etymologies. That's also how I had to create the words for "finally" and "frequently".
I hope this helps somehow.

See I spelled it correctly. 
Roast beef, which is Swedish for beef that is roasted!
