Translation Game!

vulqan jIyIn = I live (on?) Vulcan.

 

Please don’t treat the language like there is no “on” at this point. I would think that there is a very good chance that there is a word for “on” (or a suffix).

is it "We trust each other"?

 

next one: jItlhob'egh

[Indy 8]

Yeah, you got it right. I think yours is 'I ask myself.'

 

Next: DuQoch

[trekkergirl220 0]

is it "she/he/it disagress with you?"

 

 

 

dujdaj metu'

I'm not sure if thats the right order..I'm half asleep and have forgotten almost everything..

[Indy 8]

dujdaj metu'

I'm not sure if thats the right order..I'm half asleep and have forgotten almost everything..

:huh: That's ok, trekkergirl220!! I've forgotten everything too!! On this one, did you mean DujDaj matu'?? If that's it, it would be 'we find his ship,' I think.

 

Anyway, let me know if that's right. I'll do another one:

 

Qu' bI'eHbe'

I found this. Just type in the correct prefix that would be used in conjugating the verb . . .

 

 

I hope that everyone got most of them

jImavoqIIj - I/we trust your....

 

Here is one for you all:

tlhIngan juHlIj vISuch 'ej SorHommey vIleghbe' 'ej mu''a'mey vIghItlh 'ej juHwIj vISuch 'ej vIQong 'e' vIneH

 

Note: 'ej means and

[Indy 8]

I think that's a little advanced for us. :lol: (We were only up to lesson 2.)

 

But, good job, qurgh!!

[qurgh 0]

I only used words from lessons 1 and 2. It's a very simple sentance to translate. It's just long because it's got 'ej in it to join sentances together. Just break it down into 5 sections (break at each 'ej) and translate them. I didn't use any fancy grammer and I only used stuff from lessons 1 and 2. I included the translation for 'ej so you wouldn't have to look it up.

 

Give it a shot and when your finished you'll see how easy it was :lol:

[Indy 8]

Ok, I'll try it (nobody laugh!)

 

I visit your Klingon home and I do not see small trees and I write large words and I visit my home and I want that I sleep. :lol:

 

Please correct me!

[Guest Guest]

Thats perfect :lol: Great job!! majQa'!

 

The part "vIQong 'e' vIneH" that you translated as "I want that I sleep" can be said another way in English. Normally we would say "I want to sleep". When you see "'e'" it's actually acting as a pronoun that refers to the previous sentance. In this case the two sentances are:

 

vIQong and 'e' vIneH

 

vIQong means I sleep

'e' vIneH means I want that

 

So the translation of "vIQong" fits into object slot of "'e' vIneH". So the translation is "I want I sleep" or "I want to sleep". Hope that makes sense.

Well I've been learning it for over ten years and have been in the KLI for about 6 of those. I helped translate google into Klingon and have tried to help people learn the language. I also spent a day with Marc Okrand and got him drunk. Thats about my only claim to tlhIngan Hol fame.
