Quenya edit

I tried to say: "I don't write very good in Quenya. Can this be understood?" I know its poor; I was just testing to see if anyone could understand it. Obviously you couldn't. Where did you learn? And what needs to be done to improve it? Think outside the box 16:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

This isn't really the place for me to be critiquing your Quenya, but to me it just looked like you looked up each word in a Quenya dictionary and replaced the English word with what you found. The main problems I can see are that none of the verbs appear to have been declined for tense and the pronouns would usually be fixed onto the verb rather than floating free. As an example, here is how I would translate it: "Lá tecin mára Quenya. Ma hanyal sin?" "don't write-I good Quenya. Do you-understand this".

Ok, thanks for the tip. I did just look um' up and replace for english. thanks for your help. Think outside the box 10:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
