Re: [tlhIngan Hol] expressing "turn on the lights" and electricity terms

jIH:

On the other hand though, I *do* wonder about how we would describe when we would flip the switch but the device wouldn't work because someone had cut the electricity (I don't know how you say it in english..). ghunchu'wI': QapbeH jan 'ach Qapbe' chaq 'ul Hutlh. chaq ghorlu'pu'. chaq Duy'. chaq Qop. voragh: And if the switch is more button-like, one can press it down {‘uy} SuStel: leQ raQ leQ vIraQpu', 'ach Qapbe'pu' wovmoHwI'. I flipped the switch, but the light did not work.

Thanks for the ideas, but the thing I was wondering about was how you'd describe the "someone cut/cut off the electricity". I used the example with the switch, because I didn't know how you say in english the "someone has cut/stopped the electricity". ~ Dana'an
