asking what am I ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

Suppose someone wants to say: "what am I ? stupid ?" And suppose that the cookie monster, forbids him to say: {jIQIp'a' ?}, and be done with it, so he *has* to find a way to translate the "what am I ?". How should he say it ? Should he say: {nuq jIH} ? Or should he say {'Iv jIH} ? I'm troubled by this, because the way I *feel* the klingon {QIpwI'}, is it being more of an {'Iv} rather than a {nuq}. But reading {'Iv jIH}, I would expect to read something like {(name of a person) jIH}, rather that {QIpwI' jIH}. I don't know.. Perhaps I'm (overly) influenced by greek/english on this.. ~ mayqel qunen'oS

relative clauses with {Hoch} in noun-noun constructions
by mayqel qunen'oS 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

There is the noun {Hoch} with all the rules, with regards to how it's to be used in noun-noun constructions. maj.. I'm wondering though, whether we could have {Hoch}, as the final noun in a {-bogh} clause, and at the same time acting as first noun of noun-noun contruction. Example: QaQ vIghro'mey muSHa'bogh Hoch tIq the heart of all who love cats is good Could the above english translation, of the klingon sentence be considered, as another valid translation ? Or would the meaning of the klingon sentence necessarily be: "Each heart which loves cats, is good" ? Of course, meaning-wise, perhaps there's no big difference between the two, but I wonder whether it could be done anyway.. ~ gha'cher
