Speak Elf Yourself - Part 15
In the fifteenth part of our video series teaching Quenya (Tolkienian Elvish), we will look at the special "wishing formula" and also delve into the issues surrounding the pronoun "we", which is far more complex and nuanced in Quenya than in English.

      Actually BOTH forms are attested. I believe "yaxe" was more specifically defined as "milch cow". There are so few nouns in -i that I was almost forced to use yaxi as my example. All the (few) other words had their issues that would muddy the whole grammar lesson.

    • @Kielimies
      @Kielimies Місяць тому

      *_Aita-_ is a neologism and is not found at the Eldamo website. But a couple of other diphthong-root verbs such as _auta-_ are, along with their perfects. I recommend also taking a look at the Quenya Grammar at Eldamo, subsection "perfect" under "verb tenses" under "verbs".

    • @Cenindo
      @Cenindo Місяць тому

      Good question! We may not have an entirely good example to guide us here. _Auta_ " go away" is said to have the irregular perfect tense _oantie_, where the "oa" part is meant to come from earlier _awa-". Tolkien does note that sometimes the augment was skipped altogether when a word began in a vowel, so that is also an option (besides reduplicating the entire initial syllable, as described in the video).

    For "I will throw an apple to a sheep", I myself would prefer the dative case _máman_ , as in Finnish one would logically pick _-lle_ (the common equivalent of the Indo-European dative) to translate this. Nonetheless the Quenya allative is acceptable if it also governs the sense "to the presence of".

    • @Cenindo
      @Cenindo 2 місяці тому

      As long as the idea is "in the physical direction of", I think the use of the allative can be defended. If the idea is rather "I throw an apple to a sheep for its benefit, so that it can eat it", I too would write "máman". It should however be recognized that the Quenya "dative" is in many ways simply a shortened allative, making the cases somewhat interchangeable.

  • @oliphant2848
    @oliphant2848 2 місяці тому

    Thank you, great refresher. Two questions: Did I get it right that although the nominative plural of lasse is lassi and the plural of sicil is sicili, the instrumental plural has a difference in vowel length? lassínen vs. sicilinen? Because one is an e stem, right? And second question, I noticed that adding a possessive suffix makes nouns definite (no definite article any more). How then would you say "A tree of hers"?
