I'm not really good at translating stuff and was wondering if someone could help me.
I need this phrase translated into Sindarin, if possible:
"Provide for me cover"
Thank you in advance.

I'd personally say it this way (since there's no word for 'provide') : Anno tobad enni Lit. "Give covering to-me" It's in command form, but I hope that helps, Galadwen!  |

I just wonder if 'tobad' should be lenited as the direct object to 'dobad'...  |

Sorry for taking over your thread, Galadwen, but I need a bit of help. I recently directed my friend to the name generator on the main site. My friend entered his name in the Elvish generator and it came out as Taurnin Surwen. I know what taur and nin means separately, but I'm not sure what it means as Taurnin. I was also under the impression that -wen meant maiden. If anyone could help me, that would be cool. My friend's curious as to how it translates out |

Well, I would translate Taurnin as "My forest."
And, yes, -wen is a female ending. So Surwen is definitely a female name... I couldn't find a translation for "sur" though, so.....

Sorry, the surnames will always be the same for male or female  *feels very stupid* |

Cool, thanks  Aww and he was so excited about Taurnin meaning 'mighty one' or 'noble one'. |

Hmmm - I think the 'attested' ending is '-en', so it woud be 'tauren' for my fores (c.f. 'guren' - my heart & 'lammen' my tongue). It doesn't mean that 'taur + nin' (nin - 'my') couldn't be compounded though, I think. As for 'maiden' there are (depending) several options: iell - maid (also 'daughter') gwend - maiden (also 'friendship'  ) And of course 'elf-maid' - 'elleth'. |

Do you mind if I post a translation request? How would you say "The Lord heals the brokenhearted, binds up their wounds." ? And also how about "And now that I am with you always, even unto the ending of the world"

Nope, I don't mind. I don't really have a ton of time at the moment, but I'll work on that for you here in a day or so, is that ok Bran? |

The Lord heals the brokenhearted, binds up their wounds
I Chîr nesta i nîr ah guir vreithennin, nôd cherui rín.
(The Lord heals the men with broken hearts, binds their wounds)
And know that I am with you always, even unto the ending of the world
A isto darthon ah le an-uir, na veth ardhon.
(And know that I stay with you forever, to world's end)

Oh, you're awesome Nen. Thanks for catching that for me. BTW, I've been meaning to ask you, is this sentence (how dear you [are] to me) grammatically correct: Ianen vell le enni (should 'mell' even be lenited there..?) or should it be: Ianen le vell enni ? Or have I got the syntax completely out of whack...  |

I'm the wrong person to ask. I don't imply "to be" unless there is no choice, so I have never had to work out how to do that kind of thing. Gwendeth would know. She's pretty close to infallible. But the lenition seems out of place.
