Re: Relative clauses
I won't go into detail about why I think peHruS's question contains some
unstated and incorrect assumptions; I won't even repeat it here. But his
example sentences are all quite easily translated using a particular
method.
>I know why the serpent worms are in the sauce.
ghevI'Daq 'oHtaH qagh'e'. meq vISov.
>I know what the restaurant normally serves.
roD vay' jab Qe'. nay' vISov.
>I see how the cook prepares the dumplings.
chab vut vutwI'. mIw vIlegh.
>I told the warriors how many prisoners to kill.
'op Qama' HoHrup SuvwI'pu'. chaHvaD mI' vIwIv.
>The warriors don't go to the places where we found the prisoners.
pa' Qama'pu' DISampu'. DaqmeyvetlhDaq jaHbe' SuvwI'pu'.
>Maybe I can clear this up yet and not have to ask again.
matullaH neH.
