the {noH QapmeH} is indeed pretty straightforward for "to win a war", but does the {lujbe'lu'} mean that we can say {noH lujlu'} for {someone lost the war} ? also, are the {noH Suv} and {noH ghob} acceptable, for "to fight a war" ? qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' On 30 Dec 2016 2:26 pm, "De'vID" <de.vid.jonpin@gmail.com> wrote:

recently, we said that we can write {may' Suv} and {may' ghob} for "to fight a battle".
two questions:
if we want to say "fight a war", are the {noH Suv} and {noH ghob} acceptable ?
and how do we say "win a war/battle" and "lose a war/battle" ?
