Klingon word: jIn Part of speech: verb Definition: wish Source: qepHom 2015 p.12 _______________________________________________ Okrand (MO) talking with Lieven (LL) at qepHom 2015 (p.12): MO: {chabal} is something desired or requested. There also is a verb "to wish", as in "I wish I could"... {jIn}. tlhIngan jIH 'e' vIjIn I wish I were a Klingon. LL: In German, the verb wish can have an indirect object, which sounds awkward in English [...] MO: No, that's something you want: Like in English, you either say "I wish I had a beer" or "just I want a beer". The verb {jIn} cannot have a thing as an object. LL: What about the song "We wish you a merry Christmas..."? MO: That's a different wish; that's not this one. It's more the {-jaj} solution. {jIn} usually has a phrase as an object, not a thing. SEE ALSO: neH want (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
