Re: [tlhIngan Hol] thoughts on the perfective {-pu'}

Dana'an: > Yes, you're right. And unfortunately, as much as I try to get things right, > in the end I get confused. I don't know much about Modern Greek, but I think you distinguish between imperfective and perfective in the past with παρατατικός (imperfective) and αόριστος (perfective). I'm sure that's not the same as in Klingon, but for me the difference between imperfective and perfective in Spanish has been a great help, and I just try to keep a note of the cases where it doesn't match the Klingon. Doesn't it work with Modern Greek?

{yaj} use

One wants to say to another: "I've been fighting during the whole past time, and when I say 'whole past time' I mean 'my entire life'" So I write: qaStaHvIS poH vorgh Hoch, jISuvtaH, 'ej <poH vorgh Hoch> jIjatlhtaHvIS, yInwIj Hoch yIyaj. The question is: Does the {yInwIj Hoch yIyaj} work for "understand 'my entire life'"? Or would it mean "understand my entire life"? Of course, I could say this another way, but my problem is whether this could be done with the {yInwIj Hoch yIyaj}, regardless if it isn't the best choice. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
