A lajv...er...hard to explain for me in English (I am not English), but..it´s kinda like role-playing, if that makes any sense?

Hi, belle. Mae Govannan. Elen sila lummenn' omentielvo. (Well met. A star shines on the hour of our metting.)


Here is a site that will help you with words and phrases in Sindarian. The Grey Company (http://www.grey-company.org/Language/) You can download their Sindarian word and phrase dictionary into Word. Very helpful.

Also, to learn Quenya or Sindarian, this is a good site. Ardalambion (http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/)

If you still want to know more go to the languages forum here.

Ooh, the Grey Company is not a good place to learn Elvish; it isn't the real language, it's just based on it.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Oh I know a really good website, Aradalambion, hold on, let me get it...http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/
Hope this helps!!
By the way, welcome to the Downs!!!!!

I agree with Nevfeniel, the Grey company is not accurate at ALL! Here are a couple more "better" sites:
Quenya: http://members.ams.chello.nl/a.grigny/quenya.html
http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/qlist.htm
http://www.rialian.com/quenya-english.htm

Both langs: http://www.forodrim.org/daeron/md_parl.html
http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/

I've never heard of lajv....

[Samwise]

If I haven't said so b'fore, Belle, hullo an' welcome!
"Safely!" said Sam. "All alone and without me to help you? I couldn't have a borne it, it'd been the death of me. "

Hi Belle! In norwegian at least, lajv or laiv is just a way of saying live, that is live role-playing game.

[The Silver-shod Muse]

Rest In Peace, belle. Don't worry, I can't speak a word of Elvish smilies/rolleyes.gif.

[Samwise]

Niether can I--'cept "Mae Govannen", "mellon", and "Perinath Mellon". Considering how much there is to the language however, that ain't squat. smilies/rolleyes.gif
"Coming, Mr. Frodo, coming!" called Sam, and flung himself from the bank, clutching at the departing boat. He missed it by a yard. With a cry and a splash he fell face downward into the deep swift water. Gurgling he went under, and the River closed over his curly head.
