DaSisko 0 Posted May 19, 2003 (edited) I have been able to translate "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" into Klingon. I believe most of it is accurate (I got it all from the Klingon dictionary). Here it goes: tlhap jIH Hur ghah poo moQ Quj tlhap jIH Hur ghah poo ghom'a' jey jIH vay' peanuts je crackerjacks jIH be Sah chugh jIH not Sug Doh 'et 'ohs van, van, van, 'et poo naQ ghom chugh bIH be chargh 'oHs a tuHmoH 'et 'oHs wa' cha' wej mups tlhIH Hur 'a poo ngo' moQ Quj The only two words with no translation are peanuts and crackerjacks, but the rest I was able to. Next time you're at a ball game, start chanting it. I'll translate back into English too so you can match it up. Take me out to the ball game Take me out to the crowd Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks I don't care if I ever get back For it's root, root, root, for the whole team If they don't win it's a shame For it's one two three strikes you're out At the old ball game Edited May 19, 2003 by DaSisko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cassidy 0 Posted May 25, 2003 :) Hee hee, I like that! but how do you pronounce it? I'd love to be able to sing it! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted May 25, 2003 Good Work for all of that hard effort that was put into it! Even though I don’t know how to write in Klingon yet the only problem that I see is the possible grammar errors. For example in English we write in subject-verb-object, but in Kligons it is written as object-verb-subject. So that’s one potential error, but once everyone here that wants to participate figures out some of the language we will be sure to fix it.

Xeroc 0 Posted May 27, 2003 For it's root, root, root, for the whole team Shouldn't that be "For it's root, root, root, for the Home team"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll certainly try though. Thanks for the complements! :) Also, fell free to fix the grammar and anything else for those of you who are going to be learning it regularly.

Kyalia 0 Posted August 24, 2003 Hee hee, I like that! but how do you pronounce it? I'd love to be able to sing it! Are there Klingon rules of pronunciation anywhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted August 28, 2003 Well, first off I hope that you are aware that this translation is inaccurate. (For reasons I mentioned above) For rules on pronunciation - just look over this forum and you should find a few links & references Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
