Family Guy
by Lieven L. Litaer 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

During Episode 12, Season 18 of "Family Guy", there was some Klingon language spoken. Unfortunately, the producers decided to use Bing translator, so the result is mostly nonsense gibberish. Here's a transcript of the BAD klingon dialogue: 1 jIQoS, lois, neH [jIvI'pu'[?] pa' tlhIngan DaH 2 pe'tlhoS, nuqDaq 'oH Huch chaw'? 3 nuqDaq tlhIngan ghoj SoH? 4 be'Hom 'Iv nails Qu'[qop] tlhInganpu' 5 'ej vaj vIghel chaH jIHvaD (Sov neH vIghaj) 6 majQa', latlh mu'? . (next scene) 7 yav 8 majQa', latlh mu'? These are the provided subtitles: 1 I'm sorry, Lois, I only speak in Klingon now. 2 Peter, where's the credit card? 3 Where'd you learn Klingon? 4 A couple of the girls who do my nails are Klingons 5 and I just had to know if they were talking about me. 6 Oh, word? . (next scene) 7 You're grounded. 8 Oh, word? I made a quick comment video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crjwHjDMouQ Read details on the Klingon Language wiki: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/FamilyGuy -- Lieven L.

irrealis {net jal} and the {net jalchugh}
by mayqel qunen'oS 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Suppose we say: {tlhIngan SoH net jalchugh..} The literal translation of this phrase is, "if someone imagines that you're a klingon..". However, for reasons I never understood, its' "final" translation is "if you were a klingon..". Why is this mismatch happening ? Is it a "because maltz said so" thing or something ? Anyways, moving on.. Assume that there are two klingons speaking, with regard to a recent romulan incursion. So, one of them asks: "how did it go ?" And the second wants to reply by saying "it could have been bad, but luckily..". I'm wondering.. Could we express this by saying something like the following ? {qablaHpu' ghu' net jal..} The literal translation would be "the situation has been able to be bad"; but why couldn't we translate this klingon sentence as in the {net jalchugh} case, thus producing the meaning: "the situation could be bad" ? Could we use the {net jal} on its own, producing a similar irrealis, (or however the @!#@ it's called), with the {net jalchugh} ? mayqel qunen'oS

intransitivity
by Lieven L. Litaer 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

This is a poll to check your opinion or your knowledge: I'm working on a dictionary as part of the Klingon Language Wiki. Now I wondered: How much do people know the word "in/transitive"? Does it maybe sound too technical? Would it be more useable to say a) - "this is a transitive verb" or b) - "this verb can take an object" -- Lieven L.

Apposition on wI'-nouns
by Lieven L. Litaer 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

I have recently noticed that we have a handful of words like {DIr QanwI' taS}. When I wondered if this shouldn't be {DIr QanneH taS} I noticed that this word {taS} is added as an apposition (is that the right word?) making clear that this is for instance not some other kind of {DIr QanwI'}. This theory is also confirmed in the word {wab labwI' jan} where {jan} is added to clarify that this is not a "radio station" as the institution, but it's a device - a wab labwI' device. Now, when I tried to search for similar words, I noticed that not all of the verb-wI'+noun combinations are appositions. For instance, {bIQ ghaywI' pa'} is the "room of the shower"; It does not mean that there are different kinds of {bIQ ghaywI'} Do I see this correctly? What are your lingustic comments on this? If anyone likes to make additions to the list, see http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Apposition -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de
