Ok, just because I am having trouble, I figure one of you somewhere must be having trouble as well. There are so many endings that I get confused so I wrote this list, hopefully it will help someone.

Nouns
-va possessive singular (vowels)
-wa possessive sing. (constonants)
-iva possessive plural
-n dative(indirect object) "for/to" sing/pl.
-nt dative "for/to" dual
-in dative "for/tp" pl. ending in r
-nna allative "towards" sing.
-nta allative "towards dual
-llo ablative "from" sing.
-lto ablative "from" dual
-o genitive "ownership form/of" sing.
-on genitive "ownership form/of" pl.
-to gentive "ownership form/of" dual

tada! Any questions, just ask. Hopefully I did this list right.

There are two cases missing, but perhaps you simply didn't learn them yet, so I won't complain
And the list is absolutely right as far as I can see. Making such "pretty short summaries" makes learning often much more easier. I've summarized the whole grammar on three pages, too, so that I can look up things quickly and especially learn by summarizing.

And of course are these only case endings, there are a lot more endings in Quenya you can get confused with ^^

Just a small comment: -nna may also mean "upon".

Wonderful! I have come across some more. Can somebody explain the -ssë concept to me? Fauskanger had a list of all the things you could do and I don't know which ones to use. Any suggestions?

"in","on", or "upon" when referring to a physical place or a place in time.
