Can anyone tell me how to say "Use well the days" in either Quenya or Sindarin?

*grin* Thank my Japanese teacher. She had the link from her website...

They also have dictionaries for ancient languages such as Old Norse that I end up using when I'm researching medieval law and culture.

Well, unfortunately, Tolkien didn't leave a very expansive dictionary. I looked up a couple of sources, but couldn't find "to make" in Quenya - only Sindarian. Also, there doesn't seem to be a "use" in either Q or S. However, you could say it a couple of different ways and still get the point across (I think):

"Nairé mān" = May the days be good
"Echmān rénai" = (Sindarian 'make') Make good the days (this one's closer to what's intended, but I like the way the first sounds!)

Ooooh, and you can go here (http://www.dafont.com) and download the elvish font :D
