Here’s my Quenya translation of Faramir’s line “I do not believe this darkness will endure” for @obstinatebird 💞
Uan(yë) savë i huinë sina lemyuva.
I do not believe that this darkness will remain.
You’ve got several options for darkness - huinĂ« is one of them, but you can replace it by any of the following words:Â
huinë: gloom, darkness, deep shadow, night shade; also used for shadow = Sauron, which I believe would be appropriate in this context
mornië: darkness
morë/mórë: dark, darkness, black, blackness, night
At the beginning of the sentence, you’re free to use either uan (shorter form) or uanyë (longer form).
Please also note that the verb sav- I used here means to believe in the sense of believ[ing] (that statements, reports, traditions, etc. are) true, accept[ing] as fact. It lends a particular meaning to the line which might fit in my opinion, in that it expresses Faramir’s refusal to accept any claim or assumption that darkness will endure.
