Post A word translation
on: September 14, 2014 05:08
I was looking for the word "forgotten" or even "forget" in almost every dictionary around the internet and I simply couldn't find this word in Quenya (nor in Sindarin). Does anyone know why? Is there a word for that?

Thank you.

We don't know a good word for 'forget'. Maybe you could use lantas sámallo "it falls from mind" or uan polë enyalitas "I cannot recall it".
And 'forgotten' would then be something like lantaina sámallo "fallen from mind", úpolina enyalë "impossible to recall".
Yassë engë lómë, anarties calali.

Or simply úenyálima.
