Elvish Grammar, Volume 1

Showing possession:
The elven language does not use the verb to have in the same way as most other languages. Instead of saying "I have", they are literally saying "There is to me".

You can make statements of possession by adding the proper personal ending to the root "Yayn'", as below:

I have (literally: There is to me): Yayn'ni
You have (There is to you): Yayn'ta
He/It has (There is to him/it): Yayn'loe
She has (There is to her): Yayn'loah
We have (There is to us): Yayn'lenu
You have (pl) (There is to you): Yayn'tem
They have (There is to them): Yayn'loom

To make these negative, add the word no, "Li" in front of them.

I don't have Li Yayn'ni
You don't have Li Yayn'ta
He/it doesn't have Li Yayn'loe
She doesn't have Li Yayn'loah
We don't have Li Yayn'lenu
You don't have (pl) Li Yayn'tem
They don't have Li Yayn'loom

Indirect pronouns:
me ni
you ta
him loe
her loah
us lenu
you (pl) tem
them loom

Indirect pronouns with prepositions:
from me M'ni
from you M'ta
from him M'loe
from her M'loah
from us M'lenu
from you M'tem
from them M'loom

Verb conjugation:
Infinitives end in -as.
The rest of the word is called the "stem".

To guard shemaras
stem is shemar

Present Indicative tense
Singular verbs, remove the as ending and use the stem by itself:
I guard Eni shemar
You guard Ta shemar
He/She/It guards Loo/Lah/Loo shemar.

Plural verbs, add -u to the stem:
We guard Nethnu shemaru
You guard Tem shemaru
They guard Loom shemaru

Present Perfect tense: (In the present perfect tense, it is not necessary to use the pronoun. Thus, I guarded, "Eni shemarti", can be "shemarti".
Accent is on the second syllable in this tense.
I guarded shemarti
You guarded shemarta
He guarded shemaroe
She guarded shemarah

We guarded shemarnu
You guarded shemartem
They guarded shemaroo

Future imperfect:
I will guard Eni e'shemar
You will guard Ta tee'shemar
He/She/It will guard loo/lah/loo ye'shemar

We will guard Nethnu ne'shemar
You (pl) will guard Tem tee'shemaru
They will guard Loom ye'shemaru
