How do I say "how much I love (whatever)" ?
by mayqel qunenoS 11 Dec '16

11 Dec '16

if I want to ask: "how much do I love souvlakia ?" then how do I say it ? I can't find a way to say this with {'ar} because this must follow a noun; but here the "how much" refers to the verb "love": "how much do I love.." so, what do we do here ? qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] How do you explain {'InSong} ?
by mayqel qunenoS 10 Dec '16

my confusion originated from the misconception, that we don't analyze words in three/two letter clusters, but rather we start from the beginning and going (cvcvcvcvcv..). anyway, I understand now. loghaD Quvar je Satlho'. qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' On 10 Dec 2016 1:37 pm, "Lieven" <levinius(a)gmx.de> wrote: Am 10.12.2016 um 11:27 schrieb mayqel qunenoS: > according to the rule of cvc, how come that after the {n} the {S} > follows ? this produces (cvccvc). > I still do not know why you are suddenly confused, why this word?

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Expressing "god damn"

I'm afraid you misunderstood me.. I didn't mean to say "your mother cooked this damn good food"; I meant "your mother cooked this god damn food". qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' On 9 Dec 2016 3:47 pm, "Felix Malmenbeck" <felixm(a)kth.se> wrote: I'm rather sleep-deprived, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow before participating in the large debate which I'm sure this will elicit, but: I wouldn't use {jay'} when making a compliment. {jay'} is invective, not just emphatic. You're basically saying "Your mother bakes jinxed food, and this fills me with contempt." When we say something is damn good, we're using a vulgar expression, but we're not using it invectively. I doubt the average Klingon would find the damnation of gods particularly important (they're all dead, anyway), so it probably wouldn't be a part of idiomatic speech (although you never know). However, if you wish to explain the Terran phrase, you might want to construct a relative clause using joH'a'/Qun, and pum/qIch/QeHmoH. //loghaD ------------------------------ *From:* tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces(a)lists.kli.org> on behalf of mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> *Sent:* Friday, December 9, 2016 14:40 *To:* tlhIngan Hol mailing list *Subject:* [tlhIngan Hol] Expressing "god damn" So, I've been wondering for quite some time now, how to express the DIvI' Hol "god damn". How to convey its essence in klingon.. Of course the question is: what does "god damn" exactly mean ? does it mean that "god damns whatever", or the one who speaks "damns/curses god" ? Anyway, the way I *feel* this wonderful DIvI' Hol expression, if I wanted to say: "your mother cooked this god damn food" I would express it like this in tlhIngan Hol: {Sojvam 'Igh vutta' SoSlI' jay'} the only problem is that the element of "god" is missing from this sentence; but I believe this is indirectly being conveyed by the {'Igh}. when something is cursed, either god has done the "cursing", or a human through "god". so, I think that by the proper combination of {'Igh} and {jay'}, we can express in klingon this wonderful english expression.

The New Words list has *chIq*/cross, transverse (v)./ In English /transverse/ is an adjective. Does this word mean /place something across something else,/ or is the definition a typo for /cross, traverse/?// -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
