Much like the Gaelic languages of the United Kingdom and Ireland,
Tancave! That's Quenya for "yes."
“The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.” "Tumnë talmar rahtainë nixenen umir."
meles(se) “love”, and ᴱQ. melin “dear, beloved” (QL/60). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon it had similar derivatives like G. mel- “love” and G.
óre is a Quenya word meaning: "heart (inner mind)"
As an elf of Mirkwood, Legolas speaks Silvan, or least knows some words and phrases. Finally, he definitely speaks Sindarin, which is the most common elvish language at the time of the quest to destroy the One Ring.
arwen: Frodo fîr. Ae athradon i hîr, tûr gwaith nîn beriatha hon. aragorn: Be iest lîn. aragorn: 'Stay with the Hobbits - I will send horses for you.
nîr (Sindarin) 'tear' or (in verbal senses) 'weep'.
Aragorn : You said you'd bind yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people. Arwen : And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. Arwen : I choose a mortal life.
Legolas is a Sindarin Elf from the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood. His father, Thranduil, is the King of the Silvan Elves living in that realm, making Legolas the Prince of Mirkwood.
The Quenya form of her name is not entirely certain, but in his Quenya greeting, Aragorn refers to her again as "Arwen" (Arwen vanimelda, namárië!). This suggests that the form Arwen itself is also coincidentally a valid, or at least understandable, Quenya calque (using ar-, stem Arwend-).
Etymology. The name Legolas is a Silvan dialect form of pure Sindarin Laegolas, meaning 'green leaf'. It consists of Sindarin words laeg ("green") and golas ("a collection of leaves, foliage, being a prefixed collective form of las(s) "leaf"). The Quenya translation of Legolas is Laiqualassë.
god. Aino noun "god", within Tolkien's mythos a synonym of Ainu (but since Aino is basically only a personalized form of aina "holy", hence "holy one", it could be used as a general word for "god") (PE15:72)
Ithil: a Sindarin word meaning "the moon" or "(full) moon". The word can be found in Minas Ithil, Ithilien, and ithildin.
Menel was an Elvish (both Quenya and Sindarin) name for the regions of air above Arda, a name which is generally meant as "firmament, heaven" or "the heavens". Sometimes the word is simply synonymous with the sky, but in other uses it is meant as a more sublime reference to the domain of the stars and heavenly bodies.
The fictional Elvish language can be heard spoken by fans at conventions like Comic-Con, but its real life counterpart, Elfdalian, is actually spoken in the dense woodlands of Alvdalen, Sweden.
After the confrontation at Weathertop, Strider tells Frodo that it was not his sword thrust that hurt the king of the Riders, but rather the Elvish words Frodo cried out as he lunged: “O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!” Elbereth was a queen of the Elves in ancient times, in the First Age of Middle-earth.
In fact, there's only one line that Legolas says to Frodo: “And you have my bow.”
If by my life or death I can protect you, I will.
No one was ever fluent in Elvish to the degree that he could hold a longer conversation in Elvish – not even Tolkien was a fluent speaker!
Legolas never marries. The closest he gets is spending the rest of his life, as far as we know, with Gimli; they travel around Middle Earth for decades together, and eventually Gimli is given special dispensation to travel to the Undying Lands with his "friend" Legolas—the only dwarf ever to do so.
