I'm so sorry. I can relate - two ears ago, an old friend of mine died, following surgery afte a stroke. He lived in Thailand, so I wasn't able to attend his cremation.

My condolences.
(Don't have the words yet to say that in Tautisca and currently not the leisure to create them.)

On Monday night, I'm going to a memorial event for him.

"How was the memorial? Did it go okay?"
My name means either "person who trumpets minor points of learning" or "maker of words." That fact that it means the latter in Sindarin is a demonstration of the former. Beware.

Ndwa. Zii mbyu zye bwibwi. Ngindyoi mi mba lo zyi bwibwi. Bawe ngei mbyu zye bwibwi.
Yeah. He (the deceased) was a comedian. The memorial was in a comedy club. A lot of the people who spoke were comedians.

Narei bwibwi do no zwayo. Nai vwe vye ngoho nga u nai ndze vwe zywe wi nyora.
I laughed and cried. I saw friends of mine who I hadn't seen for ages.

fiedha’c teán m’astiron casseletire, letivellus casse sen, fiuc unarrus e sen, casse elféid fie helainir.
Because your friend was a comedian (joke-teller), I want to tell a joke, but I don’t know what kind of joke a Heláin-speaker tells.

crescennai clunora, ai’ av helainire istasse, uc ellen av unián, fiuc unai’ av e thesas f’elelas; unaia seu e, mendus filáv a becis, letas.
Foreigners often think that Heláin-speakers speak freely and don’t hide anything, except that they don’t talk about intercourse or pregnancy; also they don’t talk about business/politics while people are eating bread.

Uracis il, lotena casse dhe.
In Urakh [a foreign country], this joke is told.

Navenis il, eannen cian coronar’ ic cur’ illu, uc aián finini freannor Navenas: inga, onnen mu fiera?
In Naven [the main ‘state’ where Heláin is spoken], an old woman went from the countryside to the city, and said (upon) seeing the warlord of Naven, ‘Young man, what is your name?’

cesenai, fiedha’c, Uracis il, unai’av corfinire arres ellu; tessen av cianna telinis il uc adannen a villis corra (iñ filáv ambelc e freannor Navenas avanned twacammed); barren av e’cerir Uracéid soleneráin amora eareisfe ll’imfinne beth eveóm; umfallen av e Uracéid, arivelir, tahwenned inathed; fiu Letis-Curidis Telianis il, unte’a’v eleia.
They laugh because, in Urakh, a lowly person doesn’t speak to a lord; old women stay at home and aren’t strong as long (whereas at this time the warlord of Naven is seventy-two years old); the king of Urakh has many statues (lit. ‘stone men’) by which people can know his face; [and] an Urakhian, wanting to know [something], does not ask it in straightforward words; but in the Telian Commonwealth, it’s not the same.

uncesena Telianna dhas.
Telian people don’t laugh about this [i.e. don’t think it’s funny].
