Spent a bunch of last night writing that up. I worked off
of a little English I wrote, translating. I figure once I
get good enough I'll be able to scrap the English state.
As usual, I invite comments and criticism of my Klingon-
feel free to criticize in Klingon!
I had a few questions:
1) How do you say the adverb "completely?"
2) How do you say the adverb "much?"
3) SPOILERS: In my sentence "tlhIngan HolwIj vIlo'meH
vIqeq vIneH," I wanted to say, "I want to practice
using my Klingon." I was concerned about word order;
I think I got the proper nouns and verbs in there.
4) How would one translate into Klingon the sentence
fragment "but even this much [translation] will take
plenty of time?"
Here is what I wanted to say (in English). Please do
not read this until after you've tried to read my
Klingon above (obviously).
Hi. I want to practice using my Klingon, so I figured I would
write a letter to the list. I will try not to use any English
words and still get my full meaning across. I don't know what
to discuss, but even this much will take plenty of work. My
alias is Admiral. Please post some Klingon for me to read.
Cheers, Admiral Doug
Anyway, that's about it- please write back!
Oh yes- I was wondering if some kind soul would fax me a
couple of pages from HolQeD for a sample before I subscribe?
If so, please let me know and I'll get you my fax number.
Cheers,
Doug
