I just absolutely love the way Sindaril flows. Tolkien was both a scholar and a poet when he created the language and I have massive respect to anyone who can speak it fluently
You can't really speak Sindarin or Quenya fluently, as while there's enough to do a lot, it isn't enough to say, give an impromptu lecture. Its passably conversational at *best*. But, that's fucking impressive as it's completely realistic and designed by one individual. So unfortunately no one really speaks "Fluent" anything from Tolkein. Some just are experts in what was written, but the language itself didn't have a wide enough vocabulary to develop fluency.
I remember waking up and watching this on tv in the morning? Haha still makes me laugh. If anyone tries to tell you New Zealand is something other than three islands chock full of nerds and dweebs don't believe them 😂😂
I'm studying Sindarin, and though it took me a few rewatchings to understand what he's saying, I can confirm that it does actually match the subtitles. Really well-researched, using the correct Sindarin names for Middle-earth geography, too.
Oh my, where do you study it? From the internet somewhere? Or a book? I would be so interested to know some good source material if you care to share :)
Screw metric, it may be better, but I rebel against the popular opinion. @InLoveWithBooks, using either system has no reflection upon your intelligence, that's stupid, it's like saying you're not smart cause you don't speak english, just makes no sense.
Sindarin ia largely based on Cymraeg (Welsh); if you love Middle Earth, in addition to NZ, visit Cymru, whose landscape, language, history, and literature had an enormous impact on Tolkien and then Middle Earth.

@cmt89497 yes, I'm... I'm aware. I'm just laughing at how unnatural it feels to a northerner, to the point where even though we learn it at schools, we still can't immediately get it in practice
Sindarin sounds very similar to Welsh language. In fact, it was based on welsh grammatic, phonetically and stylistically have many similarities. So, learn Welsh and you will know living elvish language)
I'm first language Welsh, and it's uncanny in some places. There's a part of Gondor called Ddruwaith Iaur, which is super easy to pronounce as it just sounds like somewhere from around here.
@@dmitriofficial3552 I think just makes Elvish easier to learn because of its grammatical rules, not because the words are the same. 2-ish years on though and I'm sure you no longer care or you've picked up some Elvish. As an older American with only 3 years of French in grade school, I can't seem to remember any of these words. I'm good at pronouncing them while reading but 5 minutes later I can't remember what i read.hahah
@@dmitriofficial3552yeah, no. It's not like he derived the language from Welsh (though he wasn't above a little copy-paste here and there). He just made it sound like Welsh, because he liked that sound. Not sure why OP said the grammar is similar, since the only grammatical similarity is the mutation. Otherwise, Sindarin grammar is more similar to Middle English than anything else really. In that it's a conjugating language sort of caught partway to becoming an analytic language, so there's a lot of endings which are being lost or becoming leveled but still sort of present. As far as I'm aware, Welsh is very much still a conjugating language like the majority of Western European languages.
He should have made a boring world, then. And the way he crafted his world was very obssessive, too. How the hell did he not expect people to develop the same level of obsession...unless he thought he was the only one capable of having such?

@AnnatarTheMaia Chill. Neither they have weathermen for that matter. Also lore does not apply to tv antics and jokes. Enjoy being #1 on lore though. Nobody disputes your throne.
@@GreatMusicIsGoodForYou when you learn something new from someone, the proper upbringing and bon ton is to thank that person, not to tell them to "chill".
@@AnnatarTheMaia “Chill” is in general a friendly and jocular interjection and it was meant as such. Also, when one is actually taught something, one is indeed grateful. Which does not apply when one is told whatever in a condescending tone, something that never happens when people endowed with the correct upbringing choose to graciously impart actual knowledge. Speaking of which, I would indeed be most grateful if someone could tell me where in Tolkien’s magnum opus TV weathermen are to be found, elven or otherwise. Because speaking in Dutch does not make a person or an imaginary character a citizen of the Netherlands. Same applies to a person or an imaginary character speaking any of Tolkien’s languages - it does not mean they belong to the Tolkien opus and the rules it has been shaped by. Especially TV weathermen.
@@GreatMusicIsGoodForYou "Which does not apply when one is told whatever in a condescending tone" - a sufficiently advanced and intelligent being can learn from anything.
You can tell you're an American geek when you see 'Dunedin' on the map and are not sure if this is a counterintuitive Tolkein reference or actually a city in New Zealand.
Surprisingly accurate! Except for the "r" sound. He had to pronounce it as a trilled "r". I mean strongly trilled (rolling R's), not slightly trilled (a tap) as he did.
You meant "Elven". But the correct designation is "Elvish", instead. And "Elvish" has a broad meaning: it can designate all the Elvish languages (Quenya, Sindarin, Telerin, Doriathrin, Nandorin,...) as well as any of those languages.
The funniest thing is that Tolkien derived Elvish language from Welsh and Finnish. Given New Zealand's Welsh ancestry and given it has lots tourists (Finnish tourists among them) there's probably a good chance at least some people understand what the heck he was saying. Lol
Welsh was the major inspiration for Sindarin. Finnish was the major inspiration for Quenya. But both Quenya and Sindarin were inspired on quite a few other languages too.
Very good 🙌🏽 I can only speak English and Gibberish, and yet the “melody” of this Elvish speaker reminds me of indigenous North American tongue I’ve heard spoken as a child. It’s beautiful speaking, even if I can’t fully understand what is being said… in my opinion, the flow of it is beautiful to listen too.
