Use of *-'e'* with adverbials
by luis.chaparro＠web.de 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

In this thread (http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-October/018262.html) was recently discussed how *-'e'* works, so I want to take this opportunity to ask something I've been wondering for a while. In the Addendum to TKD we find this sentence: *HaqwI''e' DaH yISam*. The translation (*Find the SURGEON now!*) makes it clear that *-'e'* works here as focus. An object with *-'e'* can precede an adverbial. But: 1. Is this position optional or mandatory? And: 2. What could be a suitable context for this sentence (focus interpretation)? 3. Since *HaqwI''e'* ends here at the beginning of the sentence, could it also be interpreted as topic? (*As for the surgeon, find her / him now!*). And if so, would the correct interpretation only depend on context? 4. At the beginning of PB, is the use of *-'e'* with *DaH tIQoy* topic? Thank you!

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] {neH} "merely" with imperatives
by luis.chaparro＠web.de 19 Oct '21

SuStel: > In English, the only simple word we have for it is /American./ I remember the delight I experienced in high school when I learned that Spanish had a separate word for it, /estadounidense./ Indeed, but unfortunately in Spain, in colloquial contexts, most people just use *americana*/*americano* (f/m) to refer to people born in the USA, although these words actually mean, properly speaking, *people born in the American continent* or *relating to the American continent*. Used in colloquial contexts, *estadounidense* may sound a bit odd or stilted, so I usually specify: *una serie americana de los Estados Unidos* (*an American series from the USA*). That's similar to what happens in German with *US-Amerikanerin/US-Amerikaner* (f/m) and just *Amerikanerin/Amerikaner* (f/m). By the way: I've just used *actually* above and I was wondering if there is a way to say it in Klingon?
