Greetings. Submitted for your approval...a short (and SIMPLE) tlhIngan passage
for your apprasal and enjoyment. Comments, anyone? :
nuqneH. DaH tlhInganpu' puS mu'meyvaD vIjatlh vIneH. tIn HoS chaH je; val 'ac
h chaH je. DIvI' luSuvpu' tlhInganpu' SochmaH DISmey, DaH boq lughaj 'ach.
ghorqon vummo' qaSpu'. Heghpu', veS qaHpu' mev 'ach.
In the course of writing this one simple paragraph, a thoussand questions poppe
dinto my mind. One of the most pressing seemed to be an adequate way of
translating the concept of "with" into tlhIngan. How would one render this:
"I went with her." "I will die with you." "I agree with you."
Also, the various schema for word order were boilinkg in my mind; for example,
the "tIn HoS chaH je" section had me wondering whether the verbal construction
was correct AND whether the conjunction/pronoun placement was right(I changed
it as I was typing this in from (je chaH). Of course, any other comments are w
elcome. Please feel free to mock and ridicule my passage-- as long as it's don
e
CONSTRUCTIVELY!!! =)
