My girlfriend is attempting to learn Tolkien's Sindarin language, used by the Gray Elves in LOTR. I thought it would be cute to leave her a little message in the tongue, but I can't seem to make any sense of the dictionaries I've found online. Some help would be hugely appreciated :)

There are probably fansites to the languages of Tolkein. Sure are for elven and klingon. t wont happen, but my brother and I always amused ourselves with the idea of learning elvin and/or klingon just to talk about others privatly. Anyone who understood us would only become friends...or enemies. Wonder how bad a grammar nazi must be for klingon?

Do you know of any? I don't want to have to join a whole new forum, I'm happy with this one. There has to be at least one Escapist here that knows how to find this :)

Becuase being able to speak a made up language really gets the ladies =P

Nah, I dont know. Its sweet that you found someone that you love... And apparently want to Marry. There should just be some sort of a translator on the internet...

EDIT: Also, make sure you dont get trolled to say something like "Your a whore" or anything, be wary of that.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking B2?

OT: All I know is how to say "open". Which I guess has it's uses... if you know what I mean.

Not sure I can help. I remember looking up stuff for that a long time ago, but...Sindarin material is surprisingly hard to find!

Think she'd understand if you did it in Quenya, instead? Or Drow? It's a different setting, but I can help with Drow...

Considering it's the lady who's learning it, I'd say it certainly does!

Sarcasm noted. However, if you'd read my post, you'd have noticed I said I'd already tried and failed with that, meaning google failed me.

Your girlfriend sounds like a geek. Dump her, and go out with her younger sister.
My girlfriend is a geek. That's why I love her (well, one of many many reasons, but that's a story for another day)

Bel'lon, or something like that, was it not?

This may be of use to you, OP:

http://www.netglimse.com/holidays/love/say_i_love_you_in_156_languages.shtml

From that site:
Sindarin:
- Te melon
- Gen melin (familiar)
- Le melin (formal)

Except that's Dwarven, not Sindarin. As the dialogue - in the films, at least - said. No clue if it's the same in the book or not. Probably is.

It's the password into Moria, but I thought they mentioned it was made by elves, or was old elven magic from when elves and dwarves got along.

This looks pretty extensive.
I tried that one, but ctrl-F yielded no results for many of my chosen words, or even synonmyms :S

Thanks, though
