This owl seems pretty pissed. Perhaps it doesn't like being photographed. QeHqu'law' lIrvam. mIlloghDaj Suq vay' chaq neHbe'. https://www.flickr.com/photos/145378061@N05/51828011888/ -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] retiring the role of Beginner's Grammarian

> I think we’ve become a bit rudderless. The infrastructure is still here, so we’re > still here, but we are certainly less organized than we once were. It's not that the KLI is rudderless or less organized, it's that this list is no longer the focal point of Klingon language studies for the Klingon Language Institute. The vast majority of Klingon speakers are on a different boat at this point in time (eg: this list has ~304 subscribers, Discord has ~784 members, and the Learn Klingon group has 2.7K+ members). Look at the archive and you see the same half a dozen people talking on the list. New students aren't joining it. They are using tools like Duolingo, Facebook, and Discord. These tools allow for real time, or near real time, conversations and that's what new students expect. For the KLI to keep attracting new students from the new generations of people, it has to move with the times and use the tools they want to use. If there's someone on this mailing list that wants to be a BG, then the active members of this list can work together to assign that person that role, but they won't really have much work to do. If there needs to be something official from the KLI, I can do that. I don't believe it will be a good learning experience for them as it was in the past, and they could get a better experience using their time in the places where there are lots of students seeking answers. qurgh

suffix {-jaj} with imperatives
by mayqel qunen'oS 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Does it make sense to use {-jaj} with imperatives? Soj yItIvjaj may you enjoy the food! Although there's nothing grammatically wrong, something feels weird, but I can't understand what it is exactly that seems strange. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
