whales dolphins {-pu'} and {-mey}
by mayqel qunen'oS 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

There's no answer to this, but I'll write it anyway. We say that {-pu'} is to be used with beings capable of language. maj.. But how do we define language ? Words and syllables ? And you now something ? To ghe''or with parrots. They just repeat what they hear. But don't whales and dolphins communicate, or do they make sounds because they just get their kicks that way ? Or because we don't understand their language, we should use {-mey} ? Or should we use {-mey} because they're "animals" ? Because I know many people, myself included, who are waaay less intelligent than a dolphin.. So, I can't understand why I shouldn't say {*dolphin*pu'} instead of {*dolphin*mey}. And because I got so worked up by this obvious injustice to these animals, from now on, it will be *whale*pu' and *dolphin*pu' for me. ~ hkhjhjhj

gher'ID and {-mey}
by mayqel qunen'oS 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

If I knew when I'm supposed to use {-mey} on {gher'ID} and when not, I'd be happier. Not as happy as I'd be, if I won a million euros, but I'd be slightly happier than I'm now. I mean, what the ghe''or is happening with this word ? Is it inherently plural ? Can we pluralize it ? Why are some of its' meanings singular and some plural ? ~ bchchcc

mej tlheD difference
by mayqel qunen'oS 11 Aug '19

11 Aug '19

Does anyone know, what's the difference (if any) between {mej} and {tlheD} ? I always "felt", {mej} to have a more "final" character, as if "now I leave you". And {tlheD} I considered as a "lighter" version, e.g. "now I depart for a vacation". But since most likely I'm wrong, if someone could/would enlighten me, then that would be great. ~ xbbccbcb

Lichess Klingon Localization
by James Gromis 10 Aug '19

10 Aug '19

Dear Klingonists, In march I reached out to one of the biggest chess sites in the world, lichess.org, in order to start a klingon localization for the site. After many months of having forgotten about this request, it has been approved. Although we're all quite busy people, I hope that any at all klingonists who have the time will help contribute to this project. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Clean-shaven (via Crowdin) <noreply(a)crowdin.com> Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019, 19:30 Subject: (No Subject) To: <dagwoodsandwich56(a)gmail.com> <https://crowdin.com> Hello James Gromis, You've got a message at Crowdin in conversation "(No Subject)" from Clean-shaven <https://crowdin.com/profile/Clean-shaven>: "Hi James, I help coordinate lichess translations. I saw your message to the owner account from March. I'm sorry that it wasn't picked up, we don't really look at that account. I'm pleased to say however that we have added Klingon to the language list and in fact took the opportunity to add most languages we'd like to see lichess in one day. You can start translating here: https://crowdin.com/project/lichess/tlh-AA :D I don't know much about Star Trek, but I regret to say 3D chess won't be on lichess anytime soon. Thanks to your efforts though, perhaps the Klingons can have a better appreciation of our habits when the inevitable invasion comes... or however that works. Thanks, and if you have any questions just send me a message!"
