expressing "I just thought"
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

I remember, a long time ago, I asked how we can express "I just thought.." At the discussion which followed, the main idea was to say something like {lup puS ret}. Although I liked this workaround, I felt there was something missing; like a food you may like, but you just can't help feeling that there is an ingredient missing. Until, just a few minutes ago, perhaps I discovered that missing ingredient.. ..which is the word {neH}. {lup puS neH ret jIQub..} only a few minutes ago I thought.. I think this does the trick, and unless a bird of prey decloaks blowing this workaround out of space, I will add it to my notes and use it like there's no tomorrow. ~ nIghma'

replying with {'oH}
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

In english (and greek if anyone wonders..) we can say: Is it true ? And someone can reply by saying "It is". In klingon if someone asks: {teH'a' ?} Can someone reply by saying {'oH} or {'oHbe'} ? Or is the only acceptable answer a {HIja'} or a {ghobe'} ? ~ nIghma'

using {-Daq} metaphorically
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

We know we can say: {bIQ'a'Daq 'oHtaH 'etlh'e'} the sword is in the ocean There is no real ocean, but we use the {-Daq} on the {bIQ'a'} neverthless. Likewise, if we wrote: {'Internet DaqDaq De' law' tu'lu'} at the location of the internet, there's a lot of information Would the above be acceptable ? ~nIghma'
