Here’s my Quenya translation of Faramir’s line “I do not believe this darkness will endure” for @obstinatebird 💞

Uan(yë) savë i huinë sina lemyuva.

I do not believe that this darkness will remain.

You’ve got several options for darkness - huinë is one of them, but you can replace it by any of the following words: 

huinë: gloom, darkness, deep shadow, night shade; also used for shadow = Sauron, which I believe would be appropriate in this context

mornië: darkness

morë/mórë: dark, darkness, black, blackness, night

At the beginning of the sentence, you’re free to use either uan (shorter form) or uanyë (longer form).

Please also note that the verb sav- I used here means to believe in the sense of believ[ing] (that statements, reports, traditions, etc. are) true, accept[ing] as fact. It lends a particular meaning to the line which might fit in my opinion, in that it expresses Faramir’s refusal to accept any claim or assumption that darkness will endure.

Hey there! You did the "I do not believe this darkness will endure" translation for me (thanks btw) I was wondering if you knew how to write it in elvish or if you maybe knew where I could find that? Thanks so much your translation was a big help!!!

Hi again, thanks for the ask! ✨

Unfortunately I can’t write tengwar - only have some basic knowledge of another, less popular script called sarati. I do have a friend who used to do tengwar transcriptions online, but she’s been busy and hasn’t taken requests in a few years, and all the other pages I knew now seem to be inactive or inaccessible.

Perhaps you could try your hand with blogs that post content related to Tolkien’s languages and writing systems and/or tengwar, for instance:

tengwarmemes

lambendil

everythingquenya

tolkienlanguages

There’s also a good website out there which you can use to generate pretty great approximate transcriptions if you download tengwar fonts onto your computer. If you’d like to try that, you can message me and I’ll explain how it works in private! Or I could generate the transcription for you if you’d prefer 💕 Just keep in mind that it might not always be 100% accurate!
