Combining adverbials
by Hugh Son puqloD 14 Sep '19

14 Sep '19

Do we have any canon examples of sentences with multiple adverbials? For example: {nom Sop} {tlhoy nom Sop} {pIj tlhoy nom Sop} {ghaytan pIj tlhoy nom Sop} If we do have evidence of multiple adverbials in the same sentence, do we have enough examples to know how scoping works? For example, if multiple adverbials can be used together (and I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t be), I would expect something like: {tlhoy nom Sop} - They eat too quickly {nom tlhoy Sop} - They quickly eat excessively

This is what I like most in Okrand..
by mayqel qunen'oS 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

fse: Okrand has managed to do something which is quite impressive; he managed to create an entire language from scratch, a language with which we can say almost anything. And the more I write/think in klingon, the more convinced I become, that by the exception of passages requiring specialized terminology, there is nothing, absolutely nothing one can't say in klingon. So, okrand's accomplishment is quite impressive. However, okrand has achieved something which is even greater; his name will live on.. As long as there are constructed languages, people will learn his name as the creator of the klingon language. But nothing of these, is what I really like in him. The thing I like most, is that he actually cares for the fans of klingon. Many people in his place, could think: "now that I have created one of the most famous constructed languages, why should I bother with continuing to create more Ca'Non ?" Many people in his place, could think: "why should I care that an insignificant fan, receives a new word ?" But luckily, okrand doesn't think this way, and as the years go by, he continues creating Ca'Non, and most importantly he really cares that the fans of his language, receive new words, words that they wish for. Okrand makes the fans of his language feel cared for, and this is what I like most in him, and one of the reasons I've never regretted using so much time of my personal life, in order to learn his language. tlh: Dojbogh vay' chavta' 'oqranD; chu'chu'bogh Hol naQ chenmoHta' 'e' chav, 'ej Holvam wIlo'taHvIS HochHom wIDellaH.

expressing "smashing his head on the table"
by mayqel qunen'oS 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

I want to say "the romulan smashes the klingon's head on the table". Suppose I write: {raSDaq tlhIngan nach qIp romuluSngan}. If I read this without any context, I'd understand that the klingon and the romulan sit at the table, and there, the romulan hits the head of the klingon (by his fist, a weapon, etc..). Not that the romulan smashes the klingon's head on the table. Could it mean however, that too ? Anyways, alternatively I could write: {tlhIngan nachvaD raS qIpmoH romuluSngan} Is that better/preferable, with regards to the first option ? ~ changan qIj za dashu snaku zigur, durbgu nazgshu, durbgu dashshu

scope of the {jay'}
by mayqel qunen'oS 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Read the following from tkd: > {jay'} "intensely" > This word not only intensifies whatever is being said, it > turns the whole phrase into an invective. Alone among the > adverbials, {jay'} always comes at the end of the sentence. > {qaStaH nuq jay'} "What the #$*@ is happening?" > {mIch 'elpu' jay'} "They've entered the #$%@ sector!" Now I ask.. A klingon ship is traveling and suddenly picks up the following transmission: {jabbI'ID bojemchugh, vaj mIch bo'elpu' jay'} Where does the {jay'} refer ? To the {vaj mIch bo'elpu'} only ? Or to the whole phrase {jabbI'ID bojemchugh, vaj mIch bo'elpu' jay'} ? ~ bara'qa'

A sad truth
by mayqel qunen'oS 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

fse: There is a quote, from Narcos series, which describes a sad truth of life.. Agent Peña, is heard saying the following: "..Things don't always go according to plan; you can use every hope and prayer you have, take your shot, and everything still goes to shit. And when *that* happens, it's almost like you never had a plan at all.. That's when people get desperate.. and things get dangerous..". I envy the people, who have never had the misfortune, of living the situation described by these words. tlh: qaStaHvIS narcos lut mIr, 'op mu'mey luQoylu', 'ej wa' yIn vIt Do'Ha' luDelchu' mu'meyvam.. peña ghan'Iq yaS ghogh Qoylu'; jatlh peña: ..pIj, nab lunelbe' wanI'mey; bItulchu', QunvaD bIjatlhchu', bInID, 'a tagha' QapHa'chu' Hoch.
