KLBC - How to say "I like to do/doing something"
by Aurélie Demonchaux 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hello! I've been wondering, what's the correct way to express liking / disliking an activity? For example, saying: "I like to cook" or "The Vulcan doesn't like to fight" We have some examples of <par> and <parHa'> being used with nouns or pronouns but I can't find any canon source where they apply to verbs. Do you use {'e'} or nothing in those cases? As in: <jIvut vIparHa'> vs <jIvut ’e’ vIparHa'> <Suv par vulqangan> vs <Suv ’e’ par vulqangan> My "feeling" would be to use no ’e’ , similar to the construction with <want> (neH), because 'e' is the equivalent of "that", so using it would mean "I like that I cook" / "The Vulcan doesn't like that he fights", implying that the cooking/fighting is actually happening now, instead of stating "I like cooking in general"/"the Vulcan doesn't like fighting in general" (but I'm not necessarily cooking right now and the Vulcan is not fighting right now either). What do you think?

-bogh with the prefix trick
by David Holt 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

How do other speakers on here feel about the prefix trick being used on a verb with {-bogh}? Can I say, {taj munobpu'bogh yaS'e'} for "the officer who gave me the knife"? Can I say, {taj'e' munobpu'bogh yaS} for "the knife which the officer gave me?" Can I say, {mujatlhpu'bogh yaS} for "the officer who spoke to me"? Jeremy
