well a friend of mine wants to learn too. She isnt that much into it as I am. As she has only read the books once, where as I have read them many many many times.

Unless she's going to marry you if you learn Elvish, just give up and do something more useful.

I have a feeling once she learns: "You are not Legolas. Even if I finished all the wine in this bar, I still wouldn't see it. Please get off my foot now, so I can clean the beer off my outfit you spilled all over me, Elf."

I could tell you in Entish, but I fear that wouldn't help you much as well as use up the available storage on this forum.

Yup, finnish is one paskianen to learn. I used to work with a bunch of finnish guys, and tried to pick it up, but after a bit all I could say was voi vittu perkele...
