I don't know what you mean by "final clauses" here, but {-meH} really is about purpose. The verb preceded by the purpose clause is an action that's done in order to accomplish something. > A sentence like *This is too heavy for me to move it*, cannot be rendered > with *vIvIHmoHmeH tlhoy 'ugh*, unless you are trying to say that its being > too heavy makes it somehow possible for you to move it (?).

Thank you for your explanation, De'vID! It was indeed a problem with the English language. But if I understand it right, final clauses in Klingon rather express the *real* purpose / intention of the main clause. A sentence like *This is too heavy for me to move it*, cannot be rendered with *vIvIHmoHmeH tlhoy 'ugh*, unless you are trying to say that its being too heavy makes it somehow possible for you to move it (?). (Such sentences use in German the conjunction *als dass* instead of *damit*, and the *Konjunktiv*). Am I getting it right?

Go and come, know, impersonal verbs
by luis.chaparro＠web.de 11 Apr '23

Hi! I have three quick questions: 1. In English, if you want to say that you are approching the position of your interlocutor, you use the verb *come*: *I'm coming!* In German too: *Ich komme!*. But in Spanish we use *go*: *¡(Ya) voy!*. Does Klingon work like English/German, like Spanish or in a completely different way? 2. If I say something like: *When I saw it, I knew it would work*, the verb *know* doesn't actually mean *to have some knowledge*, but rather *to understand*, *to get to know*. You analyze the solution and you come to a conclusion: *It will work*. Should I use here *-choH*?: *Qap 'e' vISovchoH*. Or should I use some other verb? 3. Are there other impersonal verbs in Klingon apart from meterological verbs like *SIS*? *It's cold / hot* is translated with *jIbIr / jItuj*. But how about *It's early / late*, for example? Thank you!
