Teril
I noticed you added the sources tag to an article I just created and forgot to include the appearances to. Am I allowed to remove the tag now that I added the appearances section? --Juha 08:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, another practitioner of Teräs Käsi, I see. ;) Which uni do study at? (By the way, I'm not really sure how one is supposed to reply to another person's posts. Am I supposed to continue the conversation on your talk page or my talk page or what?) --Juha 09:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure about the talk page etiquette either. I guess whichever way seems more practical... :) I study at the university of Joensuu, in the Savonlinna campus. --Tinwe 09:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright. Studying English must be nice. Is it your first or second year? I've thought about trying to get into uni myself, but I'm still not sure if I want to study or what I should study. I've thought about studying English and translation like you, but I'm not sure if that's my thing, because I'm more interested in music. --Juha 09:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Lord of the Rings Wiki
Just wondered whether you had joined up to The Lord of the Rings Wikicity (being a LOTR fan and all)?--Darth Mantus 19:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC) You should really help it out, it needs all the help it can get. I try to add my part, but it is coming real slow. I have a question for you: What was your favorite story in the Silmarillion? I thought the creation of the swarves bit was great.--Quidon88 04:26, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No, at least not yet. I'm actually more on the Silmarillion side, but still, an interesting idea. (And I do know the LOTR wiki is for Silmarillion-related stuff too, I'm not all that ignorant. :) --Tinwe 09:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Nashira
A long time coming, but great job on the Nashira article. Now there's only three red links and the Akanah page will be complete. Bwa ha ha :P Cull Tremayne 06:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much :) I'm glad you like it, it wasn't an easy piece to do since I haven't actually read the Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, and had to rely mostly on second-hand sources. --Tinwe 08:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Contact
How can I contact you? -- &#123;&#123;User:Doo doo/sig}} 08:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply, I've just come back from my Easter holiday at my parents' place and they only have this really slow modem internet connection, so I decided to spare my nerves and haven't been here for almost two weeks. But as an answer to your actual question: write on my talk page ;)  I'm a bit paranoid about giving my email address to people I don't know, so this is the best way to reach me.  I am in the process of getting a gmail address though (as the two addresses I have now are rather "personal," and I like to keep a certain degree of anonymity in the 'net), so I guess I'll paste that one on my userpage sometime in the near future.  But in the meantime, if you're not planning to make any inappropriate suggestions (heh, just kidding :P), this is the best place for contacting me.  And who knows...  If the reason why you'd like to contact me requires more lenghty conversations, I might be able to be persuaded into giving my email address after all :) --Tinwe 13:46, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

A cookie for your work

 * * has an idiotic grin on her face * Thank you, this certainly brightened my day! --Tinwe 14:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Damn, I was just on my way to give you a cookie for the same thing. Oh well. --Imp 20:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there's no rule against giving two cookies for the same work, is there? ;) Thanks for the thought, though. I really appreciate it. --Tinwe 05:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Suilannad

 * Suilannad o paland&ocirc;r, inu elvellon. Mae Govannen. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 17:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey that's sweet... Utuuvienye quendi eldalambion!! MoffRebus 06:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Aiya! Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo. (Actually, my Elvish is a bit rusty (I had to check some of the words you used, shame on me). That's why I have to resort to using phrases... I think I'll stick to "modern Quenya," aka Finnish :) --Tinwe 07:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I always have to use a dictionary, but mine only covers Sindarin, so I think we're speaking different languages. Mae govannen is one of the few phrases I now. I know more Spanish than Elvish, sad to say. Anyway, nice to meet a Tolkien fan, even if I can't understand the Quenya you said. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 15:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Basically it's just a greeting, but you know Elves, they can't just say "hello," they say things like "a star shines on the hour of our meeting" (that's what the phrase means, plus "aiya" is "hail" as a greeting). I'm not really a master of the Elvish languages myself, but they do fascinate me (especially their etymology). Quenya even more so than Sindarin, because it was influenced by Finnish. Funny thing though, I thought "suilannad" is Quenya? Well, of course the two languges share some vocabulary. Linguistic difficulties aside, it's nice to come across other Elf-Friends :) --Tinwe 17:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Very spiffy. My knowledge of Sindarin comes from a freeware dictionary called "Dragon Flame." You can find it by going to Google and typing in "Dragon Flame"+Sindarin. I don't know if that would work in Finnish though. I'm pretty sure that Quenya and Sindarin do share a number of words, after all the Noldor spent millenia among the Grey Elves. I don't actually have the Silmarillion on me right now, but I seem to recall reading that Quenya, especially among the kingdom of Thingol and Melian, was influenced by Sindarin. And even Feanor's family, as well as Turgon, would have had some exposure to Sindarin when they first encountered the Grey Elves.

 * You can find some Quenya dictionaries in Ardalambion (google it). Also, there were never many Sindarin influences in Quenya except some words (eg. certar for 'runes') MoffRebus 21:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the dictionary tips :) I actually knew about Ardalambion, I have this huge Quenya RTF file on my computer which I downloaded way back from there. And I bought an *actual* Quenya/Sindarin dictionary (like, a book ;) from Germany a couple of summers ago. It's in German of course, but I read it quite fluently, even if can't really speak the language that much. As for Quenya influencing Sindarin and vice versa, what I meant was that Quenya and Sindarin inevitably have some similar words due to the fact that they share a parent language. --Tinwe 16:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
