Don't worry, Maeglin, your translation is quite good! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for pronunciation! Hungarian version is very difficult I think you should hear it to learn. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Pronunciation is many times unlike writing.

Elenglin, nowadays Finnish and Hungarian aren't very similar though both of them originates from phylum "finnugor". Of course the languages have changed a lot through the thousands of years. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've read Kalevala when I was younger (required reading in my country) but I've just started to read Tolkien's other books so I can't compare them.

And, by the truth, I can't really remember the adventures of Vejnemöjnen although I enjoyed them well. I'll read this story again. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
