ok, scratch that. even with the {wa'maH DIS} we would need the {qaStaHvIS}. however, if I wrote {wa'maH DIS vorgh} then the {qaStaHvIS} would be unnecessary, right ? qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' SuvwI'pu'qoq Hol tughojmoHta'mo' Satlho' On 27 Dec 2016 9:45 pm, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote:
I see.. so if instead of the {DIS law'}, we had lets say {wa'maH DIS}, then we could omit the {qaStaHvIS}, and just write {wa'maH DIS, ghoghwIj HablI' wab 'aqroS patlh vI'lo'}, right ?

if I want to say "for many years, I have my phone's sound level set at maximum", then there are two options:
{DIS law', ghoghwIj HablI'vaD wab 'aqroS patlh vIlo'} or {qaStaHvIS DIS law', ghoghwIj HablI'vaD wab 'aqroS patlh vIlo'}
if I understand correctly what was said so far, then at this example the {qaStaHvIS} is unnecessary, right ? we can use it if we want, but it isn't necessary, right ?
No. In this case you need the *qaStaHvIS,* because *DIS law'* is only a time period, not a time stamp. It tells you a duration; it does not pinpoint a moment.
You could say *ben law' ghogh HablI'wIj 'aqroS wab patlh vIlo'* but that would mean *many years ago I used my phone's maximum sound level,* but that doesn't tell us anything about how long you did this.
