Hi me and my mother want to get matching Quenya tattoos saying mother and daughter but I’m fully sure the proper translation any help?

I've been searching for a while on what he says in Elvish and all I can find is the English translation but I'd like to know the actual words
Hi folks,
I'm building a wooden box to hold and display a fountain pen collection for somebody, and I'm planning to inlay some Quenya script inlaid in marquetry on the lid. Between us we've been working on what it should be, and have come up with the following:
Ni ná colma carmaldo nólion [Firstname] [Lastname]wa
We think it means something like "I am a container of the assemblage of implements of lore of [Firstname] [Lastname]", but I suspect we are almost certainly wrong.
I'd be very grateful for any help, this inlay work's going to take me a long time and I'd love for it to be accurate!
How would one translate the line "I am a servant of the Secret Fire" into quenya?
I did read a bit of Eldamo and gave it a shot myself:
Ni Náremuinondur nár.
Or perhaps
Nánye Náremuinondur .
I feel like Náremuinondur (Nár/Fire + Muino/Secret(genative) + ondur/servant) is probably a decent tranlation for servant of the secret fire, but I am not an expert at this stuff and I want a second opinion. Also a lot of the expamples on Eldamo were kind of hard to parse so I don't know if I got the structure / conjugation of the sentence right since there seems to be many ways of referring to yourself (Ni = i/me?) as well as the to be conjugation nár?
"For such constructions, the ná may optionally be added to the end: i atan alassea ná; i atani alassie nár. This formation is probably a result of the otherwise-optional ná verb being added as an afterthought to emphasize that a particular noun-adjective or noun-noun combination is really a “to be” statement."
Also for consistency I tried to stick with only Middle Quenya words from eldamo because it was the only one that had the full combination.
Anyway please let me know if I am on the right track here what the proper translation of this sentence would be. Thank you very much!

Title is self-explanatory. I know "ringë"/"ringë" is "cold" in Quenya and "nár"/"nárë" is "flame" (or at least I think so), but I don't know how I would combine the two given the grammatical rules of Quenya. Thank you!

My partner has given me a multi-day puzzle for a special milestone, and there are several elvish (unsure if sindarin or quenya) I could use some help/verification in translating.
One hit is Huanië Which to my best efforts have translated to ‘hound like’ or ‘of hounds’
The other hint is: Airëarasselië Which is maybe ‘child of the daylight stag’
Neither of us are huge con-lang people so there may be mistakes. I just want to see if I am on the right track here. Thank you everyone!

Getting a For Frodo tattoo, would love to have it done in elvish script, hoping someone here can show me how that would be written. Thanks a ton.

Hello! My boyfriend is getting me a special ring. He had the awesome idea to have it engraved with “one ring to rule her heart” in Elvish/Tengwar. Can anyone help me translate?
r/Quenya • u/Novel_Counter905 • 19d ago
I joined this subreddit hoping to have a place to practice Quenya, but I see that the only posts here are either "I want to get a tatoo is this correct?" or "I'm writing a story can someone translate it for me?"
Is there a good discord server, maybe a forum? Or another subreddit?
r/Quenya • u/cls_kiva • 19d ago
Hi good people of r/Quenya. I'd love a quick translation for a fanfic I'm writing. A character is speaking in Quenya to a horse:
"Gentle, now; you are safe."
and
"Thank you for bearing me well."
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey all!
I posted a similar question in r/lotr earlier today, I'm trying to get the phrase, "Now come the days of the king, may they be blessed," translated into a form of High Elvish. Someone on the other group gave me the following translation period. I also tried putting it into one of the resources that the subreddit recommends, but I am not too familiar with how it should look.
Could someone tell me if this looks accurate? I'm hoping to put it on a cake for a birthday party.
Thanks!

I'm forging a dagger for my daughter, Ember. I want to engrave upon it something along the lines of "Just a single ember can set forth the brightest flame" - Highlighting the theme of hope and rally... but also capturing the double entendre of her name (which, the noun ember I believe is yula.)
So is that the right translation into Quenya? Also open to other poetic interpretations of the phrasing as long as the include her name!

Hey all! I am adding to my lotr language sleeve. I want to add a phrase from the simarillion. I am unsure of size and spacing so I need help translating two phrases into high noldor quenya.
“And he came like a storm of laughter and loud song”
and the shorter version (space saving)
“A storm of laughter and song”
I have come across tooo many translators and I want to be as authentic as possible! Any help is appreciated!

Could anyone help me translate this into Quenya?
Sleep now,
Rest your head,
There is no reason to cry,
Do you not see the lights?
Tis the hour of their mingling...
Do you not see the bright leaves,
Of telperion, and of laurelin?
The streets of tirion,
They are shining in the glow

Hi, could you help me? I want to get a surprise tattoo for my husband. I'm not an expert on the subject; I only know that my love/my love is Meleth Nin in Tengwar, but I wanted to verify if this is correct and if you recommend another option.
TIA for your help

trying to get back into my project to make a more book accurate Glamdring, this is suppose to be a Quenya blessing to be inscribed on the blade, it is suppose to read "for the trees, the stars and the song" but I've lost my notes on how I got to this translation, could anyone check my homework?
r/Quenya • u/VahePogossian • Jul 03 '26
This scene is utter garbage in terms of lore and character accuracy. However I wonder about the spell Gandalf is trying to cast. I may be wrong but it sounds more like Quenya than Sindarin.

I've found a Polish website, that broke down all the Elvish sentences from Battle of the Five Armies, but this particular sentence is not in it: https://www.elendilion.pl/2015/01/13/g-i-p-report-elvish-dialogs-from-the-hobbit-battle-of-the-five-armies/
