    image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
    yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
    Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
    mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
    Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
    nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
    ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

    Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

    An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
    ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
    ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
    ar sindanóriello caita mornië
    i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
    untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
    Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

    Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
    Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië!

    Tolkien's recitation of that sounds curiously Finnish, which is cool.

    Quenya was actually influenced by Finnish (as well as Latin and Greek), so it makes sense.

    I'm not surprised. He probably read the Kalevala and really dug the weird grammar.

    Quenya was essentially Finnish with all the distinctively Uralic grammar gutted and replaced with Indo-European standards.

    Much like how Sindarin was very Welsh
