English to quenya online translator2/16/2024 I'm not trying to put you off getting a tattoo, but some (not necessarily you) think that one can be fluent in some of the Elvish languages, which is not so. And knowing that he didn't change his mind later, which he often did (although even if he did, in this case you would still have something JRRT once imagined as true, at least). To my way of thinking this is Neo-quenya, not Quenya, no matter how accurate one might argue it to be. Let me just add: I applaud the desire for accuracy, but none of Tolkien's languages can be known in the same sense as knowing French or German, for just two examples of course, and there is still linguistic information awaiting publication.Ībsolute surety would mean copying something Tolkien wrote, in my opinion. Or if you want a translation, what Elvish language would you like, if it matters? Quenya and Sindarin are not complete in vocabulary or grammar, but are the most attested at various stages in Tolkien's life.Īnd once rendered in an Elvish language (if so), do you also want that written with Elvish letters? Which brings up a question: anyone 'out there' have a tattoo of an Elvish word written with the Roman alphabet?Īnyway, there's nothing wrong with writing English using the Elvish letters of course (Tolkien himself did this), and a simple transcription might be less difficult. Of course you might find it annoying that I responded but don't plan to try either! Sorry and who knows if anyone will take on your request, but right now it is a bit unclear in any case.ĭo you want your English example to stay English but be written with Elvish letters (again I realize you wrote translation but this is the writing forum)? Seeing that we are in the writing forum here (and despite the thread title), do you want a transcription rather than a translation? Enough people on the web write translation when they mean transcription (not that you did necessarily), so it's sometimes hard to tell what people are really asking for. You can start one here (or maybe look for one a bit deeper among the threads). In many forums there are special threads about tatoos. I have a nice Tengwar writer so it will be possible to send you the transcription by mail for example.Īnyway, I do not suggest using authomatic script. If he is busy or does not wish to go into "sintetic words" I will do my best to be of service. Galin (upper post fellow) knows his ways into it (as far as I have red a lot of opinions of his). So if you need something translated or transcribed or both I suggest post it here. It returned something that in Sindarin Style would sound like "GMQB" if you can pronounse such thing at all. It generated nonsense when I attempted to "render" (as the button sais) the word star. The site you've posted does neither transcribe nor translate. Also you must keep in mind most sits do not translate, but simply (and sometimes not very successfully) transcribe some words and text into Tengwar, leaving the expression of Elvish look, but failing into elvish sound. I would second Galin's opinion on the matter.
