Are you sure? How can you deliberately decide to have completed being happy? In addition, if possible at all, it would mean that I have turned to being happy, and that would last for ever. What does {jIQuchta'} mean? TKD: This suffix is similar to {-pu',} but it is used when an activity was deliberately undertaken, the implication being that someone set out to do something and in fact did it. [...] instead of using the suffix {-ta',} [...] The resulting construction, {rIntaH,} literally means "it continues to be finished" or "it remains accomplished," It is used to indicate that the action denoted by the preceding verb is a fait accompli: it is done, and it cannot be undone. -- Lieven L.
