cowledwizard:katzmatt:seeyainanotherlife:cassandrugs:tseecka:samandriel:dajo42:“Can I touch your butt” in Elvish.This is so usefulNo, this is not “Can I touch your butt” in Elvish. This is “Can I touch your butt?” in English, transcribed using the letters of the Elvish alphabet. There is a difference. In Elvish, the letters of the alphabet correspond to sounds, not to words. The above text spells it out using one symbol to represent one letter of the original English, which is incorrect:c-a-n i t-o-u-c-h y-o-u-r b-u-t-tIf you really want to spell out an English phrase using the Elvish alphabet, you would do so phonetically, which would basically equate to one symbol per phoneme (sound):c-a-n a-i t-u-ch y-o-r b-u-tIf you actually wanted to write “Can I touch your butt?” in Elvish, one (very rough) translation would be:Annog nin daf pladan tele ci?Which, in Sindarin Elvish, roughly translates to, “Would you give me permission to touch your rear?”Written in tengwar (the Elvish alphabet), it would look like this:Sorry for the blurry quality.damn, the lotr fandom doesnt fuck aroundwownot to mention LOOK HOW POLITE THIS WAS LIKE GOOD LORD OLDEST FANDOMS REALLY ARE POLITEST Indeed we do not fuck around. -- source link
