Re: DIS chu' Quch



"DIS chu' Quch" boja'chuqtaH 

    An interesting point here. In portuguese there is NO VERB for "Success".
We only have the noun. So if we want to say: "We succeed the war" we
must say "We have the success in the war". I know it happens in
other languages too.

    You are using the stative verb << Quch >> as an adjective. 
But if you use it as a verb? << DIS chu' yIQuch >> You happy (v) the new year.
It would sound strange at first time but I think it make sense.
