And it gets worst if you want to use the "the things which you want to learn", in a sentence. For example, "focus on the things which you want to learn". ~ nIghma' On Oct 26, 2017 1:05 PM, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: I've (or is it I 've ?), been trying since yesterday to say "the things which you want to learn", but I just can't find a way. If I write {Dochmey Daghojbogh DaneH}, I think it means "you want the things which you learn". If I write {Dochmey Daghoj DaneHbogh}, I get the impression that it means "you learn the things which you want it". Can someone tell me, how I can translate in klingon "the things which you want to learn" ? It seems such a simple phrase, however I can't find a way to say it, and it drives me crazy. ~ nIghma'

alternate way of asking what is your favorite

We know that we can't say {nuq jar DamaS} for "which month you prefer ?". But if we say: {jar'e' nuq DamaS ?} as for a month, which do you prefer ? Would this be correct ? ~ nIghma'

SuStel: > And pronouns only take verb suffixes when they’re part of > “to be” sentences. When you say "to be" sentences, you mean sentences where the pronoun is in the middle ? For example if I say: {jIHmo' SupvIp vIghro'} because of me the cat is afraid to jump It is wrong ? ~ nIghma' On Oct 25, 2017 9:47 PM, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: If I use it only as a verb can I write {tlhIHchuq SunovchoH} ? ~ nIghma' On Oct 25, 2017 9:21 PM, "David Holt" <kenjutsuka(a)live.com> wrote: > jatlh mayqel qunenoS: > > > Is the following correct ? > > {tlhIHchuqvaD SunovchoH} > > you will become strangers to each other > > If you are using tlhIH as a verb it cannot take -vaD and if you are using > it as a pronoun, then it cannot take -chuq. > > _______________________________________________ > tlhIngan-Hol mailing list > tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org > http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org > >

soliciting feedback for {boQwI'}

tlhIngan Hol bopbe' QInvam, 'ach tlhIngan Hol nIqHom bop. bISaHbe'chugh bIlaD DaH 'e' DamevlaH. As many people here may know, I have an app for Android called {boQwI'} which has a lexicon lookup and grammatical analysis tool for Klingon. Due to interest in the Klingon language because of Star Trek: Discovery, and also courses taught by Lieven and André where the app has been mentioned, I've recently received a lot of feedback from beginners on how the app could be more useful. It occurred to me that most people don't give feedback, and those who do may not be representative. So I'm soliciting feedback: if you're a beginner or intermediate student of Klingon, what would you want in an app? I'll be releasing a new version around Nov. 16 (during the Saarbrücken qepHom), and your input will help me prioritise what to add/fix in the next couple of weeks. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tlhInganHo l.android.klingonassistant Also, I'm still looking for a volunteer to port the app to iOS, which is by far the most frequent request. It looks like a big project to port the whole app, but for a first version, it would be sufficient just to treat the database as a simple dictionary and do a verbatim search (i.e., no identifying parts of speech, prefixes, suffixes, etc.) For an experienced iOS dev, I'd think this would take a few days at most. Please reply offlist, unless you're replying in Klingon. -- De'vID
