SuStel:I believe tuQ refers to having clothes on rather than putting clothes on. HIpwIj vItuQ can be used to describe me already in my uniform, not the act of me putting my uniform on. If I say HIpwIj vItuQchoH (notice that's -choH, not -moH), it means I go from a state of not having my uniform on to a state of having my uniform on, but it still doesn't say anything about who caused this state to beSo, if I understand correctly: HIp vItuQbe' I don't wear the uniform HIp vItuQbe'choH I begin not to wear the uniform HIp vItuQHa' I have stopped wearing the uniform which I was wearing until I vItuQHa'-it or I mis-wear the uniform i.e. I wear it the wrong way Would you agree with the above ?
Yes, but it's important to recognize that wear means have
clothes on, not put clothes on. (It can mean either
in English.) HIp vItuQbe' means I don't have the uniform
on, not that I don't put the uniform on. HIp vItuQbe'choH
means the uniform ceases to be on me, not that I took it off —
though it may be true that I took it off, that's not what the
sentence says. HIp vItuQHa' will probably be interpreted
as wearing the uniform in a wrong manner ("You're out of
uniform!"). I don't think it means you have stopped wearing the
uniform.
