Question marks next to nouns
by mayqel qunenoS 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

In order to form a question, we can either use the interrogative {-'a'}, or we can use question words such as {nuq}, {chay'}, etc.. However, recently I have been wondering whether it would be allowed, if the conversation calls for it, to write a noun placing next to it the question mark. For example: {mawambe'chugh vaj nuq wISop ? pu'meymaj ?} If we don't hunt, then what will we eat ? Our phasers ? qunnoq

How to say "I want to be good at Klingon" ?
by Aurélie Demonchaux 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

I have been wondering, what is the best way to convey "I want to be good at klingon"? The most accurate verb seems <po'> (be expert, skilled) but I'm not sure how best to convey the "at" in "expert *at *klingon", how to make the link between the expertise and the object of said expertise. Do I just use -vaD ? 1/ < tlhIngan HolvaD jIpo’ vIneH > or is it best to use some kind of construction with < bop > (be about, be concerned with), as in "I want to be expert concerning Klingon"? 2/ < tlhIngan Hol bop lu’ DI’ jIpo’ vIneH > 3/ < tlhIngan Hol bop lu’ taHvIS jIpo’ vIneH > 4/ < tlhIngan Hol bop lu’ chugh jIpo’ vIneH > 5/ < tlhIngan Hol bopwI’vaD jIpo’ vIneH > 6/ < tlhIngan Hol bopbogh SovvaD jIpo’ vIneH > What do you think makes the most sense out of these options and what is just "chatlh" ? Do you have another solution you'd like to suggest on this ? Satlho’ ! :)

The {-wI'} and the {-lu'}
by mayqel qunenoS 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Whenever we place the {-wI'} on a verb, we produce the meaning "one who does/is, thing which does/is". So, if we write {vumwI'} then we have the meaning of "one who works". But if we wrote instead {vumlu'wI'}, then we would seemingly/apparently get the meaning "someone (unspecified) who works". So, the conclusion here is that "the {-wI'} used on its own, talks of someone specified, while the use of it in conjunction with {-lu'} talks of someone unspecified" ? qunnoq

Accord and pIm
by mayqel qunenoS 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

If we write {mapIm maH chaH je} for "we are different we and them". Is this grammatically correct, or is does it violate the accord rule, which as I understand it says "the subject must agree with the prefix of the verb" ? qunnoq
