OK, I've seen different Sindarin words for thank you everywhere!
Hannon le
Le hannon
Hennaid (Is this plural? Like Hennaid, mellyn [Thank you, friend I believe])
Which is the correct one? Please help!

I'd like to add to her question  And in exactly what contexts can you use 'hanna' in? |

Both of them are right, Simbelmynë... Hannon le Le hannon They are the same... remember that Sindarin is not like English, the noun goes first, and then, the pronouns and adjectives. For example: Gûren nin le hannon "My Heart thanks you" Literally: Gûren <Heart> nin <my> le <you> hannon <thanks> Hope that helps!  I always use Le hannon... and hennaid... I think it is plural |

So when someone says hannon le or le hannon, it really means 'thanks you?'

Hmm...I don't know much about elvish plurals...maybe hannon is right for "thank" or "thanks".

"Hannon" means "I thank" - the suffix -n means "I". So you you thank it would be "hannach", with -ch being the suffix for "you"
So "le hannon" means "I thank you", but the "you" bit goes before "I thank"
