Hi,
could someone translate, "we meet" into Sindarin for me? I've tried using the site dictionary and it gives me "govad - to meet", but I need "we meet".....please excuse my ignorance ..... thanks

According to suggested conjugation charts, it would be gevedim. The 'o' umlauts (is that the 'right' term?) to 'e', and with the 'basic' stem ending in a consonant, the 'we' verb ending would be '-im'.

Here's a quote from HKFauskanger's site on the subject:

In all present-tense forms except the 3rd person singular, some ending is required, as outlined initially. These endings are added to a form of the verb that is identical to the infinitive, hence with the ending -i and umlaut where the verbal stem has the vowel a or o (while i and e are not affected in any way) ....
