quenya, umin harya lumë

[Rimmonin]

"I do not have time..."

[whathojeeves1]

And it is, in fact, pronounced as ks

[whathojeeves1]

Did you learn quenya from h k fauskanger's course?

[GodOfUnbelief]

x is not pronounced /ks/ like you do but /x/

[selracheu]

@GodOfUnbelief @GodOfUnbelief Actually x is really pronounced /ks/ you can see it by studying the tengwar alphabet in quenya mode, and due to it we use the letter "calma" with a hook souding ks for writing x, calma sounds c/k and the hook sounds /s/.

[Rindavar]

Quenya's best pronunciation have to be like the italian one..

@ManoIgoras Obrigado! Vou prestar mais atenção, logo postarei outro video, só preciso de tempo pra fazê-lo, você poderia fazer o mesmo, assim trocamos ideias, já que temos a mesma língua fica mais fácil de se conversar :p

[cuchulain55]

sounds finnish .

[swade98]

@cuchulain55 Tolkien's Idea for the Elvish language came first from hearing Finnish.

[brunoaamorim]

Dá pra saber que você entende um pouco de Quenya só pelo fato de você ter pronunciado 'cé' como 'qué', que é o correto.

Gostei do vídeo!

Autan cuiletie. These two words give off a Celtic effect.

Imagine an inscription in a Latin script:

AVTAN CVILETIE

[MaBu888]

In ''orenya' I would have stressed and lengthened the o. Might be more precise. The double n and l and others are also important. An Italian would have nailed those.

[MaBu888]

A few different stresses, change the vowel lengths accordingly, you'll have excellent rhythm.

Same as in classical Latin and in ancient Greece - there was consistent persistence with regards to vowel lengths, independent of stress. That trait ended in the later periods of said languages.

[Laurifindil]

@KarolusSenectus You are all wrong. It is clear from reading Appendix E of the Lord of the Rings, that Quenya ny and ry and ly are 2 sounds not one palatal ; Quenya does not have the sound "ñ" in spanish word "señor" (senyor), it is n + j.

[KarolusSenectus]

Another thing: ny, ry and ly are not to be pronunced separately (n + y, r + y, l + y), because are unitary (one sound) consonants palatalized. Example: ny is pronuncied as "ñ" in spanish word "señor" (senyor).

[LamaPaj]

thats not tengwar.... :O

[18YunaYubi18]

Since when is everyone an expert at Quenya!? Teach me! lol

[drstrangeman]

it's a language based off of latin. a good way to try to learn it is via flash cards and reading tolken's notes on how to pronounce the words...(but start off with simple words then go to sentances like children's book then progress.untill you could speak it like a second language...but i'm a nerd and would do that if i had the time.)

[TerinsDerio]

you have a very strong emphasis on the first vowel in the words. Lay emphasis on the second-to-last vowel instead. It will sound more natural :)

[fallen0ver]

he sounds Italian any way...

[selracheu]

yeah, i guess quenya must sound like italian sometimes, but my maternal language is portuguese not italian

[bowenaanddraco]

@fallen0ver quenya is apparently based on Latin, Greek and finish

[bowenaanddraco]

@bowenaanddraco *Finnish

[fallen0ver]

@bowenaanddraco i cant realy detect any greek but as for finish whit would i know?

[Rindavar]

@fallen0ver It doesn't sound like italian at all

[YCerddod]

one of the best pronounciations, but please let me make this little point, quenya words which have more than two syllables are stressed on previous-to-penultimate one

[LL1921]

actually i think that when the word has more than 2 syllables the stress falls on previous-to-last one, only if that syllable is short the stress moves to the previous-to-penultimate...

[YCerddod]

you're right indeed lol, but even in that case in this video he sometimes accentuates the word in the penultimate when the syllable is short

[selracheu]

yep! that's exactly what i did! and thanks very much for let me know ! :D

[selracheu]
