Okay, since others have broken the KLBC-barrier already, and our current BG may be at shore leave, I'll answer this: Am 09.02.2017 um 13:31 schrieb Aurélie Demonchaux:
We have some examples of <par> and <parHa'> being used with nouns or pronouns but I can't find any canon source where they apply to verbs.
Do you use {'e'} or nothing in those cases?
I will not go into alternatives like {tIv} "enjoy", but simple answer the question grammatically: The verb {neH} is the only exception for omitting {'e'}. This means that it is correct to say {jIvut 'e' vIparHa'} "I like that I cook." Yes, indeed you may think that this literally means "I do like the fact that I am cooking at this moment", but there is no "special" construction to express the common feeling of "I like surfing in general". It's the English that's strange, not the Klingon. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka Quvar valer 'utlh Grammarian of the KLI http://www.facebook.com/Klingonteacher http://www.klingonwiki.net
