Meta: Discussions about new words found in Netflix' Klingon subtitles for Star Trek: Discovery
by Felix Malmenbeck 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

As Lieven has mentioned previously on this mailing list, the Klingon subtitles for Star Trek: Discovery include a few new words from Maltz. These will be revealed in full at the qepHom'a' in mid-November. Until then, the only way to learn these words is to watch the show and compare the subtitles to the dialogue. Sometimes the meanings are quite clear, and at other times they require some guesswork. I personally quite like this approach; I enjoy the "hunt", and it's actually how I first envisioned learning Klingon might work, until I learned it wasn't used consistently in the various series. That being said, it is a bit unfair to our American chuDpu', who don't have access to these subtitles. So, it seems reasonable that those of us who *can* access them should use this mailing list to share our findings (with disclaimers that they include speculation). So, the question then is, how shall we go about it? Since there seems to be a consensus that we should wait for 48 ours after the US release before sharing plot details, should we have a similar guideline for words found in the subtitles? Or should we perhaps aim to share the relevant subtitles and corresponding English sentences as quickly as possible (with spoiler warnings for the relevant episode), so that everybody can join in the analysis/speculation as early on as possible? //loghaD

QInvam vIghItlhtaHvIS, tlhIngan Hol vIqeq vIneHbe'; jISovnISmo' jIghel. I'm not writing this post in order to practice klingon; this is something I need to know. 'ej naDev, De'wI' po'wI' chaHmo' 'op nuv'e', jIghel. and because here some people know about computers I'm asking. vaj.. so.. wa' 2 tb hdd 3,5 sata tlhaplu', 'ej pa' much mIllogh je tamey lanlu'taHvIS, qawHaqDaj naQ natlhlu'. Someone takes a 2 tb hdd 3,5 sata, and fills it with media files. ghIq, yorghDaq lanlu', 'ej qaStaHvIS DISmey, rut naw'lu'. then he places it on a shelf, and in the course of years only occasionally he accesses it. qaStaHvIS DIS 'ar, Qapchu'laH hddvam ? tagha' QapHa''a' ? How many years will this hdd be able to operate ? Will it eventually malfunction ? janglaHchugh De'wI' po'wI', tlho'wIj ghaj. If someone who knows about computers would be able to answer, I would be grateful. ~ nIghma'

A Klingon Christmas Carol 2017
by David Holt 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

I would like to invite all of you to come join us for a special Chicago Klingon speakers viewing of A Klingon Christmas Carol. We are hoping to have a bunch of Klingon speakers (of all levels) in the audience watching the show together. The show we are going to watch together will be Saturday, December 16 at 8pm. This is the same weekend as the California show, so I might be putting together a second Klingon speaker day earlier in the run for people who want to catch both shows. Let me know if you might be interested in that instead. If you are going to join us on the 16th, buy your tickets at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3103511 On the other hand, if you would like to see one of the shows in other cities this year, you can also go to: Saint Paul, MN https://tickets.vendini.com/ticket-software.html…<https://tickets.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?t=tix&e=40a46ca7008bf662e4…> Simi Valley, CA https://simikcc.brownpapertickets.com/ If you can't make it to any of these cities, then you should find a theatre troupe in your city that might be willing to put it on next year.

I can't understand why use {Du'arghHa'moH} instead of {Dub}. Nor do I want to. ~ nIghma' On Nov 9, 2017 18:42, "Steven Boozer" <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> wrote: I was updating my files just now with the Klingon dialogue from the latest DSC episode "Si vis pacem, para bellum" when I noticed a relevant exchange for today's WOTD: KOL: lIr'el, Du'arghHa'moH mIvwa'.

If you don't know whether someone's scar resulted from a wound or a disease, it's probably safest to go with {mIvwa'}. If the person's scar is actually a {SanDIy}, he/she will, under most circumstances, clarify this for you. If it's a {roptoj}, he/she may let the "misdiagnosis" slide since, as we all know, {ropchoHbe' tlhInganpu'}." SEE: taq be scarred (v) mIvwa' scar (result of a wound, regardless of how the wound occurred) (n) roptoj scar (result of some sort of disease, infection, etc.) (n) SanDIy scar (result of a wound received in the course of fighting/battling) (n) _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
