Are you serious ? Do you really expect this kind of arguments to be taken seriously ? qunnoq On Sep 14, 2017 5:53 PM, "nIqolay Q" <niqolay0(a)gmail.com> wrote: On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 10:35 AM, mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: > It is ridiculous, and that's an understatement, that the mighty "warrior's > language", doesn't have a word for "spoils". > How do you know it doesn't? Do you have your own Maltz living in your basement? It's true that there is no word that means "spoils" *that we know of yet*. All that means is that Marc Okrand hasn't gotten around to asking Maltz about it. It doesn't necessarily say anything at all about Klingon culture. There was no word for "bridge" (as in the kind that goes over a river) until 2012. Does that mean Klingons didn't discover bridges until then? We don't yet know the Klingon expression for a "Heisenberg compensator" (an integral part of transporter technology), yet Klingons manage to transport themselves all over just fine. _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org

So we have the following passage: qaStaHvIS poHvam, chImchu'bogh loghDaq taHlaHtaH tarDIghaD, tera' Ha'DIbaHHom pujHa’qu’. pa' chaw' ngoqvam baghHa’meH ’oH, De'wI' motlh lo'laH. 'ach Do' 'e' ta' neHbe' 'oH. "Tardigrade — the hardiest animal on the planet can exist in vacuum that long! It could crack your password while being there with a generic computer, and it's my luck it doesn't want to." And with regards to this passage.. > tera' Ha'DIbaHHom pujHa’qu’ I don't see a reason of using {pujHa'qu'}. The very meaning of {pujHa'qu'} is somewhat confusing. The words {HoS}/{HoSghaj} would definitely be superior choices. > pa' chaw' ngoqvam baghHa’meH ’oH The {'oH} is useless > ach Do' 'e' ta' neHbe' 'oH Another useless 'oH.

And since we are on the subject.. It was a crucial point in my journey in this language, when I realized that: Even if it is possible to translate something word-by word into klingon, then this doesn't necessarily guarantee that the klingon will sound the same way as the original. So, the intent shouldn't be to convey the words of the original in klingon; it should rather be to convey the context, and most importantly the feeling. The classic example is king Leonidas "molon lave" to the persians. In ancient Greek it is sub-zero cool. I would pay real money, to see the look on the persian's face when he heard it. In english "come and get them", it sounds defiant, but not so much as the original. In klingon {naDev yIghoS 'ej tISuq} its mediocre. And in modern Greek it sounds so ridiculous, that each time someone said it, Leonidas would be rolling in his grave. It's not whether klingon has all the words to provide for word-by word translations; it is humanly impossible for someone to recreate in a constructed language, the entire vocabulary of a real language. It is rather using the existing tools to convey the intented meaning and most of all the intented feeling. qunnoq On Sep 6, 2017 11:49, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: The problem with {ngIq} is that its use hasn't been completely clarified. If I was to translate the original sentence, then perhaps I would write: Daw'choH wa' veng; ngugh Daw'choH je Hoch latlh veng. One city begun to revolt; then each additional city begun to revolt too. or Daw'choH wa' veng; ngugh wa'DIch Da Hoch latlh veng. One city begun to revolt; then each additional city behaved as the first. or Daw'choH wa' veng; ngugh veng wa'DIch Da Hoch latlh veng. One city begun to revolt; then each additional city behaved as the first city. or Daw'choH wa' veng; ngugh Daw'choH je wa' latlh veng. 'ej ngugh latlh veng, 'ej ngugh latlh.. tagha' Daw' Hoch vengmey. One city begun to revolt; then one other city revolted too. And then another city, and then another.. Finally all cities revolted. Of the above, my favourite way to describe the original intented sentence, is the last. qunnoq On Sep 6, 2017 08:53, "De'vID" <de.vid.jonpin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sep 6, 2017 10:19, "Anthony Appleyard" <a.appleyard(a)btinternet.com> > wrote: > > An expression meaning "in succession" seems to be needed. > > > qatlh yapbe' {ngIq}? > > -- > De'vID > > _______________________________________________ > tlhIngan-Hol mailing list > tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org > http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org > >
