Post Quenya practice
on: January 07, 2015 09:22
I've done a few Quenya lessons and i would really like to practice some more in a fun way. Maybe as a sort of game, I post an english word or sentence and the next person translates it to Quenya and makes a new sentence for the next person to translate. (or post quenya to translate back to english)
(So far i' ve only done the first five lessons so dont make it to difficult )

Ill start with the first one

The knight is tall and the horse is gray

dirk_math said: mátëar/mátar

I would lean towards mátar, given primitive mātā (VT39:9) as well as unglossed mātare, amātielmi, mantelme (PE17:76), which to me look like pres. cont., perfect, and past tense forms with pronominal suffixes added.
