So, I've been wondering for quite some time now, how to express the DIvI'
Hol "god damn". How to convey its essence in klingon..
Of course the question is: what does "god damn" exactly mean ? does it mean
that "god damns whatever", or the one who speaks "damns/curses god" ?
Anyway, the way I *feel* this wonderful DIvI' Hol expression, if I wanted
to say:
"your mother cooked this god damn food"
I would express it like this in tlhIngan Hol:
{Sojvam 'Igh vutta' SoSlI' jay'}
the only problem is that the element of "god" is missing from this
sentence; but I believe this is indirectly being conveyed by the {'Igh}.
when something is cursed, either god has done the "cursing", or a human
through "god".
so, I think that by the proper combination of {'Igh} and {jay'}, we can
express in klingon this wonderful english expression.
'ej DaH, rIn QInvam 'Igh jay' ! hahaha
