 * Okay, vad roligt! ^^ Hur länge har du kunnat svenska? -- Helena 07:14, 24 June 2006 (CDT)


 * månviol, ungefär(?) ein veckan >_> (I am not that good at it yet, but I figure knowing more people whom speak the language never hurt) -- Raynejarre 08:20, 24 June 2006 (CDT)


 * About one week? Hmm, I think something went wrong there ^^ Well, I'd be glad to teach you some more =) -- Helena 10:13, 24 June 2006 (CDT)

 * Hmm, naah. I think English is nicer. In English, one word can be said in many different ways, but still mean the same thing. That makes the language more varied (?). That doesn't happen too often in Swedish. Although, I overheard that the elven language in Tolkien's books was influenced by the Scandinavian languages. And, btw, I hate Finnish, they all sound like Lordi. -- Helena 11:44, 24 June 2006 (CDT)


 * That's sad to hear. Just to clarify, the language used by Tolkien was finnish. :P He was interested in the complexity of the language as he was studying a huge variety of different languages and then decided ro base the elven lanugage on finnish. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 11:48, 24 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Never heard Finnish, but I have heard that Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian are pretty similar... Finnish is a scandanavian language as well yes? Is it very similar to some of the others? :) -- Raynejarre 21:27, 24 June 2006 (CDT)~


 * Finnish isn't like the other Scandinavian languages at all. But the others are quite alike. Although, I often have a heard time understanding Norwegian. And Dannish is even worse.

The elven language is NOT Finnish. I heard several Swedish words when I listened. But I'm sure that there are Finnish words in it too. It's a mix of all the Scandinavian languages. And by the way, if you want to hear a language who is very like the elven, listen to the Icelandic language. -- Helena 04:29, 25 June 2006 (CDT)
