When I read {reH Ha'DIbaH vIje'DI' jIQuch.}, I interpret it as "When I always feed an animal, I am happy.". What you want is "When I feed an animal, I am always happy.", so I'd advise you to go with {Ha'DIbaH vIje'DI' reH jIQuch.}
You're right ; I hadn't thought of that possibility. Your suggestion is better indeed. thanks ! mop qIj qunnoq On Mon, Jul 25, 2016 at 2:25 PM, Felix Malmenbeck <felixm@kth.se> wrote:

Compare with the classical sentence {bortaS bIr jablu'DI' reH QaQqu' nay'.} ("Revenge is a dish best served cold.") ________________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 12:21 To: tlhIngan Hol mailing list Subject: [tlhIngan Hol] Every time construction
Many times I came across the need to express the "every time I do whatever" meaning, but I couldn't find something satisfactory.
Using {reH} or {Hochlogh} on their own, couldn't express the *feeling* I was aiming for.
Until this wonderful idea came to mind :
{reH ...DI'} always, as soon as (someone does whatever)
example :
reH Ha'DIbaH vIje'DI' always, as soon as I feed an animal or every time I feed an animal
It is perfect !
