We&#8217;d like to thank our guest, Barliman&#8217;s regular and self-taught language expert Elostrion. Here&#8217;s the transcript of the log:<\/p>\n<p>[Elostrion] Welcome to &#8220;How to Construct a Sindarin Sentence:  Lesson Two&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] We will be covering Articles.<br \/>[Elostrion] They are very simple.<br \/>[Elostrion] In Sindarin, there are no indefinate articles (a, an).<br \/>[Elostrion] Only definate (the).<br \/>[Elostrion] However, there are four forms of &#8220;the&#8221;.<br \/>[Elostrion] Sindarin &#8220;the&#8221; has two distinct divisions:<br \/>[Elostrion] Singular and Plural<br \/>[Elostrion] Each has a seperate particle article and a suffix form.<br \/>[Elostrion] Singular:<br \/>[Elostrion] The Sindarin Singular &#8220;the&#8221; is &#8220;i, -n&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] The &#8220;i&#8221; stands alone<br \/>[Elostrion] The &#8220;-n&#8221; is suffixed onto the preceding word.<br \/>[Elostrion] Obviously, if there is no word preceding the article, than we cannot use the suffix form.<br \/>[Elostrion] I prefer to use the suffix form in all cases I am able.<br \/>[Elostrion] However, be careful not to suffix onto consonants that cannot be followed by an &#8220;n&#8221;, e.g. &#8220;m, etc.&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] Plural:<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;in, -in&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] The same rules apply.<br \/>[Elostrion] We have more liberty with the suffix &#8220;-in&#8221; because it begins with a vowel.<br \/>[Elostrion] As I stated last lesson, Sindarin articles always precede their noun.<br \/>[Elostrion] Here are a few examples:<br \/>[Elostrion] The bull&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] We would use a singular article, becuase there is only one bull.<br \/>[Elostrion] And since &#8220;the&#8221; is not preceded by another word, we have only one choice&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;I vund&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8230;abandon the birds&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] We would use a plural article, because there is more than one bird.<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;&#8230;awartha i filig&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] The change in the article is explained by Consonant Mutation, which we will cover soon.<br \/>[Elostrion] We have also another choice&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;&#8230;awarthan filig&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] I am ready to take questions<br \/>[Elwen] i would just like to now if the same consonants apply in Sindarin as in Quenya as far as not being able to suffix -n to them<br \/>[Elostrion] There are of course different rules that apply; however, in this case, most are concurrent between the two languages. Such as:<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8216;b&#8217;<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8216;l&#8217;<br \/>[Elostrion] etc.<br \/>[Elostrion] Next question please.<br \/>[JulieOh] is the article always required, or can it be understood? e.g., would &#8220;I like books&#8221; have to be translated to &#8220;I like the books&#8221;?<br \/>[Elostrion] Sindarin is unique in that you have quite a bit of freedom on matters like these.<br \/>[Elostrion] In situations such as Noun Declinsion and such the article is always understood.<br \/>[Elostrion] It is more common to write the article; however, if it is not wanted\/needed you may leave it out.<br \/>[Elaran] question:  we dont have any examples of a article being suffixed to the word before it.  only combined with prepostions&#8230;.<br \/>[Elostrion] That is true; however, this theory arised after many years of hard study and a collaboration of minds.<br \/>[jincey] could you tell us who the scholars are?<br \/>[Elostrion] We have come to the conclusion that it is probably possible to do so.<br \/>[Elostrion] Ryzsard J. Derdzinski is a wonderful mind<br \/>[Elostrion] As is Helge E. Fauskanger<br \/>[Elostrion] And, of course, we cannot forget David Salo, the leading Elvish expert in the world.<br \/>[Elaran] ask :  why do you believe that it is possible?<br \/>[Elostrion] I have come to trust these men over my studies.  I have not delved too deep into the issue myself, seeing it as already resolved.<br \/>[Arodriel] wheres the best place to find verbs in elvish?<br \/>[Elostrion] ardalambion.com, run by Helge Fauskanger, has a wonderful new page up with suggested conjugations of Sindarin verbs&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] however, I am not sure I agree with everything that is contained inside.<br \/>[Elostrion] The document is not perfect.  Don&#8217;t take it as canon.<br \/>[Elostrion] Another question?<br \/>[Eravial] question: could you give us a couple more examples of plural artcle usage?<br \/>[Elostrion] Absolutely!<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;The bulls&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;I vund&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] Again the change is explained by consonant mutation<br \/>[Elostrion] Is there another?<br \/>[Darkfyre] Question: Is there an example that doesn&#8217;t use consonant mutation?<br \/>[Elostrion] LoL<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;The strikes&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] &#8220;In draimm&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] Are there any more?<br \/>[jincey] i think we are ready to open the floor now. Looks like there is some debate on what is canon and what is conjecture : )<br \/>[Elostrion] Thank you all for coming&#8230;I hope to see you next week.<br \/>[Raven_Tindomiel] thanks, Elostrion<br \/>[happy_eirien] will we be learning characters during these lessons?<br \/>[JulieOh] thanks Elostrion! Can&#8217;t wait for next week<br \/>[Thevina] Argh!<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] What is the article &#8220;ir&#8221; for?<br \/>[Menelmacar] thank you very much<br \/>[Halladaliel] thanks<br \/>[Elostrion] It is my pleasure Raven<br \/>[Darkfyre] thanks Elostrion<br \/>[aislinn] thanks!<br \/>[Eravial] thank you<br \/>[happy_eirien] thanx<br \/>[Thevina] Elostrian&#8230; I am so sorry I missed your class! \ud83d\ude41<br \/>[Arodriel] whats the next lesson gonna be on?<br \/>[Jeremy] can someone give an example of Singular articles usage?<br \/>Not_Maedhros is unhappy that he missed it.<br \/>[Elostrion] LoL, u-moe edaved.<br \/>[TheRedSunRises] 3Cuio nin mellon Elostrion<br \/>[TheRedSunRises] and thanks!<br \/>[Elaran] Elostrion&#8230; we have examples of -in being used with a plual subject, Fauskanger notes this, any comments?<br \/>[Elostrion] Excuse my lack of accents.<br \/>[Elaran] sorry Singular subject<br \/>[Elaran] _erin dolothen ethuil_ on the eight day&#8230;&#8230;<br \/>[Lembas_n_Cram] thanks Elostrion!<br \/>[Elaran] I do not think it is safe to assume that we can use -in in reference to plural subjects only<br \/>Thevina the incredibly behind the times asks if these lessons will be each Wednesday?<br \/>[Elostrion] There are very many attested examples like this, applying to different areas.  Tolkien kept changing his mind about Sindarin, so it is hard to see which version is the final.<br \/>[Elassar] am i the only one who can&#8217;t understand elvish?<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] Nope<br \/>[tigere47] no<br \/>[Eravial] no<br \/>[Elaran] Yes but Fauskanger says that no rule can be reached<br \/>[Arodriel] no<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] I cannot understand&#8230; most of it.<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] Hehe&#8230;<br \/>[aislinn] i am getting there<br \/>[Primula_Hornblower1] no Elassar<br \/>[Guest] i can say some basic words<br \/>[Elostrion] That is true to some extent<br \/>[Elaran] yet you presented it as if it was fact that -in was used in reference to a plular subject<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] Elostrion, what is the difference between present tense form of say&#8230; g&acirc;r and garir?<br \/>[happy_eirien] will we learn how to use characters?<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] happy_eirien, chgaracters?<br \/>[Not_Maedhros] If you mean the Tengwar, I can help you there&#8230;<br \/>[Elassar] when&#8217;s the next lesson?<br \/>[Arodriel] and what is it on?<br \/>[happy_eirien] cool!<br \/>[Eravial] will the lesson be posted like the first one?<br \/>[Elaran] garir means &#8220;they hold&#8221;  gar means &#8220;hold&#8221;<br \/>[Elostrion] Every Wednesday at 7:00pmEST<br \/>[Smoky] Elostrion&#8230;could you tell me what mutation to use in a phrase like &#8220;leaves of the trees&#8221; ??<br \/>[Thevina] thank you, Elostrion!  next week I won&#8217;t miss it altogether&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] Smoky, e-mail me and I will be glad to help.<br \/>Not_Maedhros feels sorry for poor Elsortion<br \/>[Guest] is the lesson over<br \/>[Elaran] Elostrion, in your example _i vund_ you used lenition instead of nasal mutation&#8230; any comments?<br \/>[Smoky] ok &#8230;.thanks !!!<br \/>[jincey] we are taking general questions now<br \/>[Elostrion] In fact, if any of you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at elostrion@hotmail.com<br \/>[Guest] ok<br \/>[Thevina] Really?

It sounded Elvish even in English- wanted to translate it for her for fun.  Plus I was sure it would look gorgeous in Tengwar.<br \/>[Arodriel] is there a book souly based on how to speak elvish?<br \/>[Guest] elostrion, are you the teacher<br \/>[Elaran] Elostrion???<br \/>[Primula_Hornblower1] Tengwar is not easy<br \/>[Elostrion] I am Guest<br \/>[Elostrion] I pm&#8217;d you Elaran<br \/>[Guest] oh ok<br \/>[Elaran] uh, how do I check pms?<br \/>[Thevina] Tengwar isn&#8217;t too bad&#8230; just put the symbols to the right in Sindarin, to the left or right above in Quenya&#8230; basically&#8230;<br \/>[Elostrion] Arodriel, there are none available in the US<br \/>[Thevina] (to represent vowels, that is)<br \/>[Arodriel] that stinks<br \/>[Arodriel] write one<br \/>[Elassar] is there any books I can find that teaches Sindarin<br \/>[Arodriel] \ud83d\ude42<br \/>[Elassar] ?<br \/>[Thevina] There are some online lessons for Quenya, if memory serves&#8230;<br \/>[Elassar] where?<br \/>[Elostrion] Elassar, there are no reliable books on the shelf<br \/>[Thevina] A chap in Finland has them.<br \/>[Thevina] sorry&#8230; that&#8217;s probably not very helpful! \ud83d\ude1b<br \/>[Arodriel] how much longer are you gonna be on Elostrion?<br \/>[Elostrion] A few minutes<br \/>[Guest] there are some basics for tengwar and some other stuuf in the back of the book the return of the king<br \/>[Thevina] Okay&#8230; Elostrion, thank you, and I&#8217;ll be here on time next week.<br \/>[Arodriel] same<br \/>[Tauriel] Online Quenya lessons are at http:\/\/ardalambion.com<br \/>[Guest] same<br \/>[Arodriel] i had to babysit and i missed it yet again<br \/>[Thevina] Tauriel!<br \/>[Tauriel] Hi \ud83d\ude42<br \/>[Arodriel] i gotta go eat so thanks elostrion, namarie!<br \/>[Elostrion] You&#8217;re welcome<br \/>[tigere47] namarie arodiel<br \/>[Elostrion] Navaer mellyn n&icirc;n!<br \/>[Elassar] thank you!<br \/>[Halladaliel] thanks again and see you week!<br \/>Lembas_n_Cram opens the door, waves, and walks out into the night<br \/>Elostrion has left #thehalloffire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our second lesson on &#8220;How to Construct a Sindarin Sentence&#8221;, which concentrated on articles, took place Wednesday, Feb&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-special-reports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our second lesson on &quot;How to Construct a Sindarin Sentence&quot;, which concentrated on articles, took place Wednesday, Feb 12 in #TheHallofFire.
