'eSpanya' QISmaS (Beginner's text and questions)

tugh qaS QISmaS. jar wa'maH cha' rav jaj javDIch 'aqroS jaj chorghDIch 'eSpanya''e' motlh juH lu'IHqu'choHmoHlu'. QISmaS Sor DIghaj, 'ach 'eSpanya' lurDech bIHbe'. *Bethlehem* velqa'mey nu' 'oH lurDechmaj'e'. pIj vIqraqna' bIH 'ej tInqu'. velqa'vam nu' ghaj je 'op DIvI', malja', chIrgh je 'ej SuchlaH nuvpu'. jaj cha'maH loSDIch, jaj wejmaH wa'DIch je nItebHa' Sop qorDu'mey, 'eybogh 'eSpanya' Soj vItlh luSop. jaj wejmaH wa'DIch pagh rep wa'maH cha' ghIrep naH DISop je, baS 'In DIQoy'taHvIS. nob Hevba' puqpu'ma', 'ach qembe' *Santa Claus*. qem wej ta' chul. wa' ta' wIv Hoch puq. jar wa' jaj vaghDIch Hoch vengDaq puqpu'vaD boghoy Dun tu'lu'. qaStaHvIS jajvetlh ram, QongtaHvIS puqpu', nob qem ta'pu'. As always, I would appreciate any help / correction in order to improve my Klingon. I also have some questions: 1. I've discussed in another thread the difference between *'eSpanya' QISmaS* and *'eSpanya'ngan QISmaS*. If I've understood it well, I think I could use both here with a similar meaning, but I've chosen *'eSpanya' QISmaS* because I wanted to present the traditions in the context of the country's culture, rather than focusing on the people. Was it right? 2. I wanted to use *'eSpanya''e'* as topic, but then I couldn't decide where I should place it. It's a noun with a Type 5 suffix. Time expressions come first. So I placed it after the time expression. However, my tendency was to say it at the beginning, before the time expression. Would that be right / possible? 3. In */Bethlehem/ velqa'mey nu' 'oH lurDechmaj'e'*, I've decided to use *'oH* since the idea is *As for our tradition, IT (the tradition) = miniatures of Bethlehem*, but I'm not sure about it. 4. Can we use *Such* with the meaning *to visit the miniatures*? Maybe *bej* would be better? 5. Am I telling dates / time correctly? I don't feel very confident with this. When should we tell time as hundreds? 6. Is it possible to say something like *jar wa' jaj vaghDIch ram* for *the night of January 5th*?

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] the measure of all things

Dana'an: > Man is the measure of all things. > (Protagoras, ancient Greek philosopher) > Human potlh law' Hoch potlh puS. (𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘴, 'elaDya' tIQ vIt > nejwI') Just a comment on Protagoras' philosophy. The sentence is (believed to be) an example of relativism, i.e., the philosophical theory maintaining that there is no objective truth. While it is probably not so radical as Plato discusses it in his work, it seems to imply that, at least speaking of thoughts, feelings and things created by humans (such as politics, culture, morals etc.), there is not only one truth for all of us, but rather a truth for every culture / society, for every period of time and, to some extent, for every person. So, maybe *Humans are the most important thing* doesn't render this part dealing with the theory of knowledge. It's only a suggestion, I hope it can be somehow useful.

dog brain vs cat brain

e Some time ago I saw this drawing. There was the drawing of a dog's head, and below the drawing of a cat's head. Each animals brain was sectioned into distinct areas. The dog's brain had the following 10 parts: 1. be a true friend 2. be loyal 3. protect the family 4. play with the kids 5. care 6. accompany 7. love 8. be responsible 9. be happy 10. guard At the cat's brain were the following 3 sections: 1. eat 2. sleep 3. murder And the rest of the cat's brain had a big question mark.. hahaha t 'op ret wa' mIllogh vIleghpu'. pa' ngavyaw' nach tu', 'ej bIngDaq vIghro' nach tu'lu'.

Sorry for asking again about *-'e'* as topic
by luis.chaparro＠web.de 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Although this question has to do with my last text, I want to ask a bit more generally, so I thought it's better to post it in a new thread. I know the use of *-'e'* as topic (except in copulas and superlatives) is problematic. I just want to know if I have understood what's right and what's not. In my text I wanted to say: *It will be Christmas soon. As for Spain, we decorate our homes between December 6th and 8th*. I understand now this sentence is too long and I shouldn't try to use a topic here. But then we have the example *cheng'e' DaH Sam!* and in the PB, at the beginning, the sentences with *DaH tIQoy*. So my question is: if the sentence structure is simple, could I use *-'e'* as topic? For example: *Soj'e' tIr ngogh wIje'nIS* (*As for the food, we need to buy bread*) Thank you and sorry for asking so much!
