I find this claim either dubious or misstated. Semantics are different in different languages; why would English semantics presented in a certain way lead to useful semantic comparisons in other languages?
I agree that it's confusing, that's why I said "according to him". I also do not see how these sentences can easily be compared, and we know from the Bing project that computers certainly cannot identify semantics easily.
I tried to stick as closely to the English words and structure as possible, even if there is a better way to say this in Klingon. I kept personified things as non-speaking things.
That went very quick! Can I forward it to him right away, or would you wish to wait until the community has given its suggestions?
I encourage suggestions. The sentences weren't very difficult to translate, but someone might have a better turn of phase on some of them, or might better understand what this person is looking for. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
