be-verbs and the {-wI'}
by mayqel qunenoS 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

there is something which I probably understand, but I need to make certain. lets take a non be-verb: lotlh = to rebel lotlhwI' = the rebel now, lets take a be-verb: bel = be pleased belwI' = someone who is pleased Is my translation of the {belwI'} correct ? I am wondering whether the addition of the {-wI'} on be-verbs, functions differently from the way it does on non be-verbs. qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

to qaStaHvIS or not to qaStaHvIS
by mayqel qunenoS 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

for quite some time now, I am wondering as to the extent one must use the {qaStaHvIS}. my understanding is, that if we are talking about an event which takes place once, there is no need for {qaStaHvIS}. example: DaSjaj matlheD (on) monday we depart on the other hand, if we talk of an event that lasts quite some time, then the qaStaHvIS is (seemingly) required. example: qaStaHvIS DaSjaj jIvum while monday is happening I work so, here is my first question: in the aforementioned example {qaStaHvIS DaSjaj jIvum}, is the {qaStaHvIS} necessary ? can't I just write {DaSjaj jIvum} ? maj.. moving on, my next question is "if we are talking of singular events which take place multiple times, do we use the {qaStaHvIS} ?" example: on monday I kill four birds do I write {DaSjaj loS bo'Degh vIHoH} or do I write {qaStaHvIS DaSjaj loS bo'Degh vIHoH} qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' SuvwI'pu'qoq Hol tughojmoHta'mo' Satlho'

Adverbs referring to adjectives
by mayqel qunenoS 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

First we said, that an adverb describes the quality of the verb. Example: nom bo'Degh vISop quickly I eat the bird Then we said that an adverb can refer to the verb of a {-bogh} clause too. Example: nom bo'Degh'e' HoHta'bogh SoSwI' vISop quickly I eat the bird which was killed by my mother or I eat the bird which my mother quickly killed but now I need to ask.. Can an adverb refer to a be-verb which is acting as an adjective ? Example: tlhoy bo'Degh tIn vISop I eat the excessively big bird qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

As expected workaround
by mayqel qunenoS 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

while I was inflicting on this list some message yesterday, this beautiful workaround suddenly appeared in my mind. In english (and greek) there is the phrase "as expected"; a good way to say this in klingon, is by the workaround which suddenly appeared in my mind yesterday: {silmarillion 'ay' wa'DIch vIlaDta', 'ej vIparHa' net pIHchugh vaj lughbej} so, the formula would be {yadda yadda yadda net pIHchugh vaj lughbej}. qunnoH jan puqloD
