Post Help with building a sentence...
on: January 26, 2015 04:10
Hi,
I hope it's allowed here..
I've been trying to form the sentence "I will seek him whom my soul loveth" in Quenya
I went over some dictionaries and found nouns I could use but I soon realized the language is WAY too complexed for this method to work..
I would very much appreciate it if someone could help me out and translate it for me.
I hope to get a basic idea of the language's structure and how it differs from English.

Hantanyel órenyallo!

Thank you!

Suruvan se ya fëanya melë.
Yassë engë lómë, anarties calali.

Thank you so much dirk_math!
I think I understand how you inflicted the nouns for fea and melmë, but I don't understand "Suruvan". Is it a future form of a verb?

Yes, sur- is a stem meaning 'seek', -uva- is the future ending, -n is the 1st person singular.
Yassë engë lómë, anarties calali.
