should i put the KLBC,the way i did ? if not,please tell me..
anyway,I would like to ask about something that confuses me.
in english one can say :
the german people (plural)
a german man/woman
the belgian people (plural)
a belgian man/woman
the italian people (plural)
an italian man/woman
..and so on
on the other hand one can also say :
the germans (plural)
the belgians (plural)
the italians (plural)
in klingon when i say {verengan} does this mean both singular/plural
depending on the context ?
i can't understand when to say {verengan} and when {verenganpu'}.
if i want to call a group of people <<ferengi dogs>> (my favorite klingon
expression), should i say
{verengan Ha'DIbaHmey},{verenganpu' Ha'DIbaH} or {verenganpu' Ha'DIbaHmey} ?
..which brings up another question
if the plural suffix is to be put on the second word,should i use {-pu'} or
{-mey} ? I mean the ferengi may be able to talk,but the dog isn't..
