master_q 0 Posted May 24, 2003 (edited) Translation Game! This game is pretty self explanatory: You are to write a sentence in Klingon Then someone will try to translate it to English The person who originally wrote that Klingon sentence will then say if he or she got it correct or not. If he or she did, then that person will write a new sentence in Klingon . . . . . Now because we are moving on to lesson 2 please keep all vocab from lesson 1 & 2 Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Edited June 11, 2003 by master_q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekkergirl220 0 Posted May 26, 2003 i don't really know how to form it into a sentence, but I know what the words mean...klingon, language, learn, earth so.."I learn the klingon language on earth"?....definatley wrong, but thats what I got when i tried to form a sentence out of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted May 26, 2003 If you would like to participate, then I would recommend that you read Lesson 1 (http://www.kli.org/pdf/KPC-01.pdf) -- TNGtrekker220, Remember that the sentence structure in Klingon is not like ours. In English we say (I’ll use the example in Lesson 1) “I see the officer” (Subject-Verb-Object) In Klingon it is written in “The officer sees I” (Object-Verb-Subject) Also don’t forget how the verb forms (And it is not “Earth” it is “Earther” or “human”) Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com I think i get it.... and also, is there a klingon word for "I"? when I translated it, I just put in I, but that was just so it would make sense. Is this 'I" implied, and if so, how do you know, and if not, whats the word for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xeroc 0 Posted May 28, 2003 tera' qayIn (That might be wrong, I'm not quite clear on the prefix part, it could be tera' jIyIn.)

master_q 0 Posted May 28, 2003 Don’t worry if your sentences sound very simple or elementary. We are just staring so I think it is to be expected that when we first start all we can really write are very simple sentences juH jIyIn juH = home jIyIn jI = I yIn = life / live Well that to me does not make sense. First off (just a side note): In tlhIngan Hol we have no articles (the, a, an) For “on” it usually just indicates position and because of that there is probably a word for it. (Well there is a good chance that there is not . . . I guess we will find out in the future) And "at" probably falls under the same lines... Ok here is another: juH jISuch Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we will find out in the future) And "at" probably falls under the same lines... nav jIghItlh Well again it comes down to “on”. There might not be a word for it, but until we know for sure let’s not assume that there is none. If there in fact is a word for “on” and we continue to use it like there is none, then it will be more difficult in getting use to it.
