Suppose I want to say to someone "I have never asked for your help". With the important detail being, that not only have I not ever asked for his help, but I'm not going to begin asking for it now either..
So, on one hand, I want to say "I have never asked for your help", on the other hand though, my "not asking for his help" still continues..
So, what do I write ? {not QaHlIj vIpoQ} ? {not QaHlIj vIpoQpu'} ? {QaHlIj vIpoQpu'be'} ? {QaHlIj vIpoQbe'pu'} ?
Is there any difference between these choices ?
/I have never asked for your help/ is saying that a particular completed action did not occur. It does not consider whether the hypothetical action is still not occurring. *not QaHlIj vItlhobpu' / not QaHlIj vItlhobta'*/I have never asked for your help./ *DaH QaHlIj vItlhobbe'*/I do not ask for your help now./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
