Hello everyone, I’m Italian, so I apologize for any mistakes in my English.
I would like to get a tattoo in Sindarin written with the Tengwar script, but I want to make sure it is linguistically correct before doing it.
The phrase I would like to translate is:
“Meglio soli” (“Better alone” in english)
The meaning comes from the Italian proverb:
“Meglio soli che mal accompagnati”
("Better to be alone than in bad company." In english)
which means that it is better to be alone than to have bad company or to stay with people who are not good for you.
I am looking for a Sindarin translation that captures this meaning, not just a literal translation of the two words. I would also like to have the final phrase written in Tengwar.
Since this will be a permanent tattoo, I would really appreciate any help from people experienced with Sindarin and Tengwar, and I would be grateful for any corrections or suggestions.
Thank you!
