Sindarin is technically not a functional language, there are so many words missing. Simple words are just simply non-existant. But there is some help for the language, it's a beautiful, poetic, and its in Lord of the Rings for goodness sake.
If there are any phrases that you would like to see me translate, feel free to contact me and I will add them to the list.
So you may want to review this page many times after seeing it for the first time.
"thou" : formal
"you" : informal
_____________Pronouns
-----a dash before the characters make it a suffix that is used for verbs and possessive
Version A
Formal: lķn ; informal: -ch
Version B
Formal: -l (obscure) pl: -dh ; informal: -g ; pl: -ch
(the reason the –l is obscure is because it can often be confused with a verb tense that is why it is best to avoid it)
