{vut} bop matlh

I asked Marc Okrand if there was a special verb for "bake, make bread". He did not answer directly giving a word, but suggested to use {vut}, leaving options open. Here's what he said about that: >>> {vut} is kind of like "make" in English, as in "I make bread," "I make coffee," "I make hamburgers," "I make beer." There are four different preparation techniques involved, but, in everyday usage, the one word "make" will do (though, of course, there are additional choices). In Klingon, I'd {vut} all of these things. For your story, the "baker" is a "bread maker," so {tIr ngogh vutwI'} is a reasonable translation. That is, {vut} is an acceptable translation of "bake." <<< -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit

Aprenda Klingon

Hi dear fellows, I just discovered a new book avaiblable on Amazon, and getting to the point: It is useless. Do not buy it! It's all in Spanish, and it claims to teach the Klingon language. But it surely does not. The first paragraph looks quite complete and correct, but then, that author says that word order is like in English "SVO" - definitely wrong. Also, all translations are wrong, and actually, everything else is wrong too. At some point, it really appeared to me that the author intentionally created wrong information. A quick check-back on bing shows different results, so why would he make such a nonsense book? -- Probably just to make money, or maybe it's even a person who wants to fight against the Klingon language. After all, "Juan Ortiz" is as obvious as "John Smith" in English, so we cannot find out who made this useless, incorrect book about Klingon.
