fattybolger asked: I realize I've been kind of stupid, sorry for not understanding all of what you were saying. Forgive me. I suppose it seems all easy and clear to you, but it isn't to me, so you'll have to understand that. :)
fattybolger asked: To basically top things off nicely, I didn't quite understand what you were saying, and I don't think you quite understood what I was saying, either. I understand what you were trying to point out now that you clarify that Bulgarian/Human thing. Thank you for that! :D You seemed very angry at first because you kept using exclamation marks like this: !!!!!!!, and question marks like this:...
fattybolger asked: I am sorry, I did not see what you had posted earlier about your sources. Thank you for posting them. That was not meant to be a private message, and it was not meant to hurt you either. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was implying that. I find that we have different interpretations of the question you asked, as well as the way I answered it. I find that the way I answered it was fair to what...
fattybolger asked: I will say no more, as you are easily wound! My mind has not been changed since I asked why you did not like the use of "Elvish", and you answered that it was for "lay people". You also gave me a question to answer (more of a bet, actually) and I did answer it, whether you liked the answer or not. Seeing as you should live up to your word, you're supposed to use the term...
fattybolger asked: Not only that, but I clearly said to you that I agreed upon Elvish not being a language. It is a term used to refer to Elvish languages. If you are not willing to live up to what you said about using the term "Elvish" after I answered your question (which I did do), then I beg you to at least give me your source of information from where you learned this. Thank you very much! :)
fattybolger asked: "To conclude, if you can answer me the question below, Elvish is good to go and I shall use it henceforth!" Wait, what? I answered the question. What you said after I submitted my answer to you was basically that you actually would not use the term "Elvish" henceforth. I will kindly reword my answer for you. Human can mean any human language or writing system! If I wanted to...
thepalantiri asked: Oh sweet jesus I give up trying to reason with you :') no really I tried leaving on good terms, as I render this kind of 'dispute' pointless...How is the joke on me? I've already expressed my misuse of the term 'elvish' and your mistake on the sindarin front was justified because your expertise is in quenya...you do realise that we've been saying the same thing...
fattybolger asked: I forgot to mention that I agree with you that Elvish isn't a language. It is an adjective, as well as a noun used to refer to Elvish languages in general and Elvish writing systems. I can, however, answer your question about how to say "dog" in human. Well, there are countless languages used by humans, but one way to say it was already said by you: dog. Two other ways that I know...
fattybolger asked: One could argue that Spanish is an adjective and is also a noun, as are English, German, Polish, etc. The man who did the translations from Elvish languages to English in the LotR movies uses the word "Elvish" as a noun. Tolkien himself used the terms "Dwarvish", "Mannish" and "English". I see your point in which the proper use of "Elvish" would be...

fattybolger asked: You're saying you can't call the languages of the elves "Elvish", because they're really Quenya, Sindarin, etc. I understand that by using the term Elvish, you aren't specifying a language, it's just naming anything Elvish in general. So for example, if I saw a word in Quenya but I didn't know it was in Quenya, just in a language used by the elves, would I...
thepalantiri asked: I never corrected you I just said I proved that I wasn't wrong (and vexed because I was able to do so) I honestly never took it personally (read over the conversation) I just relied simply saying that it was sindarin etc I never raged like a lot of people do, in fact I actually thanked you. I thought you were vexed because you started a post with 'oooooo I see!' (I thought we were...
thepalantiri asked: Hey, can we possibly be adults and just stop? I never pretended to be an expert, in fact I'm probably not as good as yourself (In fact I'm pretty sure I'm not!), but you have to admit that reblogging someone's post and treating them as incompetent may look rude over the internet (of course face to face would be different). This is ridiculous! You have to admit, us scrabbling...

Would you like to learn your REAL TRUE Quenya name composed according to its etymology? (and not a gibberish version of it)

YOU THERE!!!
rerat:
You wouldn’t happen to know Elvish would you?
I have a note that is written in Elvish and I need to translate it.
I’ve tried looking at alphabet and grammar charts but I’m apparently too dumb to figure it out xP
I would. But is it Quenya or Sindarin you mean here?
melomentalo asked: Hi! I wanted to have your advise on this translation, could you tell me if it's right? It is suppose to say "All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost". I'm pretty sure it's right, but I wanted to know what do you think of it. Just add "18218947305" to my tumblr! Thanks by advance :)
