Hi to all (again)

Hello everyone. After 26 years of silence, and thanks to a rewatch of TNG, DS9, and VOY, I’ve decided to return to the path of the warrior. I used to write (not much) on this mailing list back in 2000; as an exercise, I started translating “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe with your help. I’m happy to still see the names of those who accompanied me on that journey… a big greeting to you all. Batlh Qapla’ je Inviato da iPhone

ditransitive verbs
by Lieven L. Litaer 08 Apr '26

08 Apr '26

Hello, dear friends of the Klingon language. I just learned a new word from an experienced inguist, called "ditransitivity". If I got it correct, this is used to describe verbs who can have 2 objects, as in "I give you (1) the knife (2)". Question 1: The question came up if it's possible to assign this quality to Kingon verbs, and if it makes any sense to do so. I am aware that canon Klingon grammar does not use the term "transitivity", but it exists. Using the "prefix trick", we have such verbs, as in {taj qanob} or {tIq Sa'ang}. Question 2: Technically spoken, this is a replacement for the construction with {-vaD}: SoHvaD taj vInob --> taj qanob. I wonder how far this can be expanded. Following the pattern the following should be okay: SoHvaD HoD vIHoH --> HoD qaHoH. SoHvaD paq vIlaD --> paq qalaD. What do you think? -- Lieven L.
