Questions About the Exercises

Many thanks for the corrections and the link Aran. I have changed the excercise that I did accordingly, hoping Huranarmo will do the same soon. We are trying to make it easy so for these beginners lessons we try not to have special cases. Thanks for pointing them out.

Would you mind expanding a bit on the "impersonal verbs" with regards to Sindarin specific please? I ask this with regards to the dictionary project where it would be great if we could mark those.

I get what you are trying to say. But if you call across to a person, it would become *athnallon an Aragorn for example. Which would again use something that is not yet covered in the excercises. I am still a learner myself, relying on the information within Pedin Edhellen, and again: the sentence I gave (athnallon i hirion) is taken directly from there. Does that mean Thorsten is wrong?

Hi,

I've pondered this point as well, but I think Eryniel's right here. I don't see anything wrong with a construction like "across-calling a river", even if there isn't an object listening at the other side. You could just be yelling out your surprise or whatever.

But sure, I could be wrong. But then Thorsten is also wrong - and if he is, shouldn't we settle on that? I think that he'd appreciate the feedback, to use in the next version of Pedin Edhellen (if that's to come anyhow)
