dishonorable vs dishonored
by mayqel qunen'oS 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

I want to say "a dishonorable warrior", but unfortunately we only have {quvHa'}, which is given as "be dishonored". So, my problem is (again) the fact that english isn't my native language.. The way I understand "dishonorable" is that someone "is dishonorable". And the way I understand "dishonored", is that "someone has been dishonored by someone or something". Back to the original question, if I want to describe a warrior who is dishonorable, but "hasn't been dishonored by a specific event or person", then how do I say it ? Is the english "dishonored warrior", significantly different from "dishonorable warrior" ? I thought of writing {quvbe'bogh SuvwI'}, however can't this be understood as "a warrior who isn't honorable on one hand, but isn't dishonorable on the other" ? Can't this mean just "a warrior who's somewhere in between" ? Anyways, cutting to the chase, (as americans say), how would you say "dishonorable warrior" ? Would you settle for a mere {SuvwI' quvHa'}, and pray to kahless that the reader gets it ? ~ bara'qa'

does {yay'} have a positive or a negative meaning ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

The verb {yay'} is given as "be shocked, dumbfounded". As I read in m-w, the verb "shocked", is usually used for something, which upsets people. And as far as the "dumbfounded" goes, I couldn't make sense, whether it has an inherent positive or negative meaning. So, does someone know, if {yay'} is to be used only for pleasant or only for unpleasant surprises ? ~ bara'qa'

noun-noun constructions and {-bogh} clause
by mayqel qunen'oS 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

We know that we can't say: {HoS'e' nuv mung} for "the origin of the person of power" But can we say: {HoS'e' 'aghbogh nuv mung} for "the origin of the power which is displayed by the person" ? I know that the meaning isn't the same between the two examples, but that's not important. What I'm wondering, is whether we can have a noun-noun construction, where the first noun is part of a {-bogh} clause, marked (that first noun} with a {-'e'}. ~ bara'qa'
