Elvish Insults!
 
1. I am sorry if this topic has already been done
2. I know it should probably go in the language section but I wasn't sure if it would insult anyone there so I thought it best to post here.

Anyone know any good elvish insults that you can shout at your boss or teachers without them knowing what the hell your on about?
Here are some:

Nadorhuan(rim)= cowardly dog(s)

Auta miqula orqu= go kiss an orc

Amin delotha lle= I hate you

Antolle ulua sulrim= Much wind pours from
your mouth

Lle naa haran e' nausalle= you are king in your imagination

Amin feuya ten' lle= You disgust me

Lle holma ve' edan= you smell like a human (oooo, harsh [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Llie n'vanima ar' lle atara lanneina= You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny

Starbreeze 06-19-2002 01:06 PM

Oh harsh! Lol! Never mind insulting - you could do more damage by making people laugh to death! They are funny! Which elven language is it? Quenya?

Amberle 06-19-2002 01:21 PM

In the language I made up, "Go kiss an Orc" is "Ja kass eni jhana" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Starbreeze 06-19-2002 01:56 PM

Cool, you made up a language - with insults!

Starbreeze 06-19-2002 01:57 PM

*Varda* 06-19-2002 03:28 PM

Heehee those are so funny [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] *wonders which one to use on her very irritating 'friend'*

Gorothlammothiel 06-19-2002 03:51 PM

I think their Quenya because I have a quenya translations sheet thing and those insults are in there.

Gimli Son Of Gloin 06-19-2002 04:39 PM

How do you say "You idiot!"?

What would be the point of having a made up language if there weren't insults, Starbreeze? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Glenethor 06-19-2002 08:59 PM

How do you say:

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of eldeberries!"

Lindolirian 06-19-2002 09:16 PM

Once again, the Grey Company... This website does not use true Tolkien Elvish. It is based on it but is not the languages created by Tolkien. But then again, if you want to use them, the person you are insulting probably won;t know the difference. Just remember, it is Tolkien based, not Tolkien.

Lothiriel Silmarien 06-20-2002 03:35 PM

Uruloki, these are so funny! I gotta memorize a few now..

Waenfalathiel 06-20-2002 04:20 PM

Good point!

Uruloki 06-23-2002 10:12 AM

Thanks all for liking them!
Yes they are Quenya based and I understand that they aren't true Tolkien but I thought they were fun E!
I'll try to get some more for ya!

GreatWarg 06-23-2002 06:10 PM

Well, if you want some true ELvish... it ain't what I call a proper insult, but... Gurth goth rim yrch! Means, death to you Orc! And this is true Tolkien elvish.

Pallando 06-26-2002 10:47 AM

Try this one on for size:

Lya amil i a Yrch ar lya atar i a Troll!

(I don't know what Troll is in Sindar or Quenya.)

Your mother is a Orc and your father is a Troll!

Rosseiliantiel 07-09-2002 09:21 PM

Oi, this was MY thread! *scowls* [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
No, no, just kidding! Fooled ya.

Elenna 07-17-2002 06:55 PM

How about something like "Your hair is sooooo lame" or "That robe makes you look fat." or *gasp* "Your nail polish is tacky"

Lady_Galadriel 07-17-2002 10:59 PM

the guy who be short 05-26-2003 10:18 AM

i dont know how to say "you are" but this is in quenya.

_____ (person's name) na urco
_____ is an orc

_____ (p.n.) na culuma
_____ is an orange!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

_____ (p.n.) na umea ulundo
or
_____ ar ______ nar umie ulundor

_____ is an evil monster
_____ and ______ are evil monsters

_____ na sangwa ar umea
you are poison and evil


im sure these are mostly correct, but i havent had my quenya lessons for ages, so a very few letters might be wrong

Meela 05-26-2003 10:20 AM

he he...

Finwe 05-26-2003 05:22 PM

I insulted a girl who was making fun of me at a bookstore for liking Tolkien stuff.

Amilelya fummë nu rauco. "Your mother slept under a monster."

The funny thing was, this Elrond-lookalike who was standing right next to me burst out laughing because he understood Quenya, which bewildered the poor girl even more.

the guy who be short 05-27-2003 04:24 AM

That was sooo funny finwe! an elrond lookalike knowng quenya - cool!

Finwe 05-27-2003 06:27 PM

The great part was he also asked me out. Unfortunately, my parents did the exact same thing that Elrond did when he found out about Aragorn and Arwen. Mine claimed that the guy could be a serial killer in disguise and that I was too young to date. So, I resorted to screaming "Narelyë raucor!" at them repeatedly.

Sauron_the_Abhorred 05-27-2003 06:47 PM

These(sorry...THIS) are probably FULLLL of mistakes, but hey, I just started Quenya.

Fat person(especially girls)- Mordor tiuca Nauco rauco. Evil fat Dwarf demon/monster.

the guy who be short 05-29-2003 05:32 AM

i thought monster was ulundo?

VanimaEdhel 05-29-2003 08:08 AM

From what I've seen, guy who be short, most of these are Grey-Elvish expressions. Now, as we all know, Grey-Elvish is based loosely on Tolkien's language, but they are not actually the words of Tolkien. After consulting the Council of Elrond dictionary, "evil" in Quenya is: úmëa, ulca, saura (which refers more to being evil-smelling, or putrid). In Sindarin, it is: um, balch, and gûl (which is evil magic). An evil creature is "raug". Ooo! They have Noldorin now on the Council of Elrond. An evil creature is a "rhaug" or a "graug". In order to say "You are evil" in Sindarin, one could probably simply say "Le úmëa", as they tend not to use the verb "to be" much (similar to Russian in that regard, I suppose).

EDIT: and yes, "ulundo" means monster, as does "úvanimo", which means, literally, "a creature of Melkor". In Sindarin, it's "úan" or "ulunn". "Ulun" and "ulund" mean "monster" in Noldorin.

purplefluffychainsaw 05-29-2003 01:53 PM

Hmm... I don't think elvish is that much of a good language to insult people in... However when my sisters get on my nerves I love to confuse them and insult them in one blow:

Thaur rakuo
abominable demon.

(I can't be bothered to get my elvish dic. out and check the spellings... sorry! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Finwe 05-29-2003 03:04 PM

There are several different words for "monster." Both ulundo and rauco mean the same thing.

Sapphire_Flame 05-30-2003 10:01 AM

For those of you who are interested here is how you say "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny" in real, Tolkien Sindarin:

"Le uanui a lin naneth hab le gladhaen."

The i in "lin" and the a in "hab" both have circumflexes over them. (circumflex=> ^ ) I hope you all can find this information useful.

Tarien Ithil 05-31-2003 06:24 AM

Uruloki, did you get those insults from Grey Company??

They're very funny! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Trippo The Hippo 05-31-2003 11:36 AM

I am not sure on the spelling but Losto'l means Empty Head [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].

Sapphire_Flame 05-31-2003 12:37 PM

In Sindarin or Quenyan? Because in Sindarin, Losto means "sleep".

VanimaEdhel 05-31-2003 02:16 PM

Well, "dol" means head and "lost" means "empty". The "d" sound would probably be lost due to the many consonant mutations in Elvish. So yes, Lostol would mean "empty head".

Oh, and that's Sindarin.

Trippo The Hippo 05-31-2003 10:58 PM

Thanks VanimaEdhel, I dont know alot of elvish. Bu I had just heard that from a friend of mine who knows alot, and likes to insult me in elvish. So I thought I should put that on up here.

Nuinatariel 06-01-2003 01:06 PM

I'm not sure if this is grammatically correct, but:

Lle harya i sáma o gond- (translated literally) you possess the mind of stone.

Elentarimir 06-01-2003 03:03 PM

LOL!!!

Tomorrow I'm gonna run around school yelling Elvish insults at everyone I don't like. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Hehe...Find some more!
