So what is Quenya?

Quenya is a language spoken by the elves in The Lord of the Rings, which can also be called elven language.

So is the elven language in "The Lord of the Rings" really a certain system, a rigorous language, or is it made up?

The answer is the former.

This has to be said about Tolkien, the original author, this big guy is definitely a linguistic genius, he knows 35 languages, and has a deep understanding of languages.

And he created a total of 15 different elven dialects in the book, as well as various languages for creatures such as treants, orcs, dwarves, hobbits, and more.

But among them, the elven language is definitely the most developed.

Tolkien once said that he would have preferred to write the book in Elven language if it weren't for the reader's care.

In the past life, a large number of people have studied the Elven language, and there are even translation software for the Quenya language on the Internet, which is enough to prove the maturity of the Quenya language.

But Chen Xiao didn't expect that Professor Guo in front of him had also begun to study Quenya, which seemed to be asking him a question.

Chen Xiao has a big head.

His memory is very good, and even after being reborn, he can be called unforgettable, but he has not studied elven language, and seeing that Professor Guo seems to have studied a lot of things, he will definitely show his stuff when he asks.

Professor Guo looked at Chen Xiao and didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly became anxious: "Mr. Dawn, is there a problem with these sentences I translated?"

"Uh...... No...... Very good. ”

Professor Guo said excitedly: "Then I wrote a few sentences at the back, can you help me translate them into Elven language, I haven't figured out these letter combinations yet." ”

"It's coming!" Chen Xiao lifted his heart.

He said weakly: "If I say that the language in my book is all made up, will you believe it?"

"Nonsense?"

Professor Guo felt as if he had been insulted to his IQ: "If it's made up, I'll give you a review, don't you think it's troublesome and don't want to teach me?!"

Professor Kwok himself is an academician of the Faculty of Literature, and now holds a professorship at Kyoto University, where he has studied the languages of various countries, including ancient languages.

"The Lord of the Rings" was reviewed by him personally, and at first he thought that the various languages in the book were made up to attract attention.

But after careful study, he found that he was wrong, especially the noblest elven language in the book, which was simply a completely new language system, and he studied it for three whole days without finding any loopholes in it, which greatly aroused his interest.

Since then, he has been studying elven languages until two or three o'clock in the morning.

But learning a language, without a teacher, it is difficult to lay a foundation, and since I met the author of this book today, how can I not let him rejoice.

Although Chen Xiao's age does not seem to be very old, he does not underestimate him at all, but puts him in the same position as himself.

Professor Guo saw that Chen Xiao seemed to be frightened by himself, and also felt that his voice was a little loud, so he hurriedly said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, I have a good talent in language and I can teach it very well." ”

"Moreover, I will not let you teach in vain, 2%, after the book is published, I will give you an additional 2% of the royalty, which is the most I can give. ”

After speaking, he continued to look at Chen Xiao with expectant eyes.

If this scene is seen by the students of Beijing University, they will definitely lose a bunch of jaws, when will the devilish Professor Guo also use such a gentle tone, and beg others to teach him.

But at this time, Chen Xiao would never have such an idea, he was not frightened before, but completely panicked.

And Professor Guo's aura is so strong that he doesn't know how to respond at all.

But after Professor Guo said the 2% royalty, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, 2% royalty, no matter how bad it is, there are more than 100,000.

Although the previous 10% royalty was enough for him to make a movie, no one is afraid of a lot of money, right?

Professor Guo keenly sensed Chen Xiao's mood, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he knew that he had impressed the young man in front of him.

"Why do you want to learn Elven language?" Chen Xiao sat up straight and skipped back to Professor Guo's previous question.

Ask him to translate Chinese into Elf, he can't do it, he can only find a way to bluff the past, of course it is best to get an extra 2% of the royalty, and there is no way to get it if he really can't get it.

Professor Guo also straightened up: "I don't know if you know me, I still have some influence in the literary world, I have been exposed to various languages since I was a child, I can use the eight Chinese dialects proficiently, and I have studied the ethnic minorities in my country, including my country's ancient characters, and I have also deciphered five oracle bone inscriptions......"

Chen Xiao listened silently, feeling that the other party was pretending to be forced, but there was no evidence.

"Good...... I see, now let's talk about Elvish. ”

Professor Guo stopped unsatisfactorily and waited for Chen Xiao to speak.

"Ahem...... The Elvish language in my book is really a completely new language, with some Finnish features in it. ”

Professor Guo squinted his eyes slightly, looking like he was really like this.

Chen Xiao continued: "Each noun and verb has a very large number of genitives and affixes, which is highly precise, and even some words can express extremely complex concepts in one word. ”

This is already a summary of the Elven language.

"The Quenya language has quite a rich number of accusative and numerical variations, among which, the Quenya noun has ten cases, and the quenya noun has a case conjugation:"

"Nominative: used to identify the subject of the verb, which is also used colloquially as an object, and in some prepositions. ”

"Genitive: Mainly used to indicate the origin of things, its use sometimes overlaps with the accusative, and is also used to indicate adjective nouns or possessives. ”

"Bing ...... Tool Grid ...... Xiang Ge ...... Dative...... Orientation ...... Out-of-line ...... In addition to an adjective character, there are four quinya nouns: singular, double, general mode, and partial mode. ”

Chen Xiao Balabala spoke for five minutes without stopping in between.

looked at Professor Guo cautiously, and found that the other party listened with relish, and he didn't know when a voice recorder was put next to him.

I don't know if the other party understands it, anyway, he doesn't understand it himself, these are just where I saw them in my previous life, I just looked at it casually a few times at the time, and I didn't expect that I could still remember it now.

That is, rebirth, which made the souls of his two lives merge, and the brain produced unknown changes, which made his memory amazing. Otherwise, these things would be enough for him to memorize, let alone memorize them in his mind at a glance.

After talking about nouns, Chen Xiao then talked about all the verbs and pronouns.

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Guo was about to ask.

Chen Xiao hurriedly said: "Don't ask, it's more interesting to study the language by yourself, if you finish everything, then there is no need to study." ”

Professor Guo thought about it and thought so.

"I'll draw you a few more tables, and as examples, you can refer to the research, and I'm sure you can do it yourself. ”

Seeing that Professor Guo really didn't ask anymore, Chen Xiao finally put his mind at ease, for the 2% royalty, he had already paid the truth, and now I'm afraid he won't be able to say a word if he asks him to say more.

Hearing that Chen Xiao was going to draw a form, Professor Guo hurriedly took out his pen.

Then I saw Chen Xiao draw a boxy grid on the paper, and then wrote

Singular: cirya

Nominative: cirya

Accusative: cirya

Genitive: ciryo

Tool grid: Ciryanen

......

I had been drawing six large tables, and the noun table seemed very simple at first, but it became very confusing at the end.

But Chen Xiao doesn't care, anyway, he painted it, and it doesn't matter if Professor Guo can understand it or not.

After drawing the six pieces of paper, he handed them to Professor Guo, and it seemed that his goal had been achieved.

Professor Guo was really attracted by these six pieces of paper at this time, and looked at them carefully, as if he had completely forgotten that there was another person here besides him.
