When referring to<br class="">memorizing something or knowing something by heart, the usual expression<br class="">is along the lines of<br class=""><br class="">ghuQ ngeqpu' qawwIj<br class="">"I've memorized the poem" (literally "my memory has stored the poem").<br class=""><br class="">Q: Can this verb be used to store food, or different things? We do have<br class="">the term for "food storage" Soj polmeH pa'.<br class=""><br class="">MO: There's a subtle difference between ngeq and pol. The act of moving<br class="">or putting things somewhere to store them is ngeq; just keeping them<br class="">there is pol. So if I see you putting the groceries into the food<br class="">storage room, I can say Soj Dangeq. If I visit your house and snoop<br class="">around and see food already in the storage room, I might make an<br class="">observation and say Soj Dapol. In many cases, of course, the distinction<br class="">is minor or irrelevant, so either word could be used. For memorizing,<br class="">ngeq is the word in the idiom even though, once the poem or whatever is<br class="">memorized, pol might make more sense.
