Is that kinda like "ser" and "estar" in Spanish?
"Eso es un gato" (That is a cat) vs. "El gato está en la casa" (The cat is in the house)
No, not quite the same. In Spanish, 'ser' is used to describe a fact or a quality, while 'estar' is used for being at a place. In Klingon, pronouns can be used for both, and the added suffix may show the state of the ongoing process. briefly, jIH and jIHtaH can both be translated with ser and estar. {tlhIngan jIH} "I am a Klingon" "Soy Klingon." {tlhIngan jIHtaH} "I am continusously a Klingon" "Soy Klingon." {pa'Daq jIH} "I am in the room." "Estoy en el cuarto." {pa'Daq jIHtaH} "I am continusously in the room" "Estoy en el cuarto." -- Lieven L.
