wa'DIch
by mayqel qunenoS 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Often, I come across the need to express the context of "first/at first/initially etc". As in "first, I want you to know.." Can this meaning be expressed by the use of {wa'DIch} ? I think I had read somewhere in the klingon language wiki, that this could indeed be done, but I don't remember the exact link of the page where I read it, so I can't be certain. qunnoq

{vorgh} is a qep'a' word, so it's info is only available electroniclly. {veb} is from KGT, which you should be reading cover to cover anyway. However Amazon sells this book electronically, so there's a searchable copy available too. qurgh On Aug 25, 2017 7:54 AM, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: De'vID: > Qo'. yIbuDQo' jay'. DaQulnIS SoH'e'. If I had the entire klingon canon in electronic form, then I could do the search myself. But since I have the actual books, it is slightly difficult to read all of them from cover to cover, in order to find the {veb} and {vorgh} sentences (if there are any to start with}. And in order to comply with the stupid rule of this list: tlhIngan 'oqranD mu'tlheghmey Hoch vIghaj net jalchugh, 'ej De'wI' De' tu'qom bIH net jalchugh, vaj nIteb {veb} {vorgh} vIQullaH.

nuS

25 Aug '17

Often, I come across the need to say the word "ridiculous", but unfortunately this word doesn't exist in klingon. The only word we have is {nuS} (v) "to ridicule". Is it possible, through the use of suffixes or by any other way, to produce the word "ridiculous", from {nuS} ? qunnoq

nIqolay Q: > You're conflating two meanings of the English word "once": > "happening one time" and "at some time in the past". maj. But if the event I'm talking about, happened "one time, at some time in the past", then why not use {wa'DIch} as a timestamp too ? {wa'logh, vIghro'lIj vIje'} Once, I fed your cat qunnoq On Aug 24, 2017 6:49 PM, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: I see..

Sentence as object using {'oH}

I was wondering if the following is correct: {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'oH vIt'e'} The truth is my cat ate your cookies Since this sentence came to mind, I can't seem to be able to find something wrong with it, but it just feels a little weird. qunnoq
