One question tha Child mentioned: Did you get this off of a site? If so, then it may not be true Tolkien Elvish. True Tolkien Elvish would be only found in the books. And if you mean by 'know' Sindarin as in you can speak it and write a bit in full sentences, but not fluently then I will say I can. But I prefer to take my Elvish straight from the books, so I know it is the true Tolkien Elvish. And if you mean 'fluently' as in can speak and write quickly, then I believe few people will ever know it as much as Tolkien did.

If you want more references to Tolkien Elvish, then check in the back of the Silmarillion. There shuld be a small dictionary with commonly used Elvish prefixes and suffixes.
