Re: KLBC--Prisoner of love
Hello baraSungey!
My name is Quvar, I'm the new Beginners' Grammarian. It's my job to help beginners here with
Klingon. I see you know how to use the letters "KLBC"
ghItlh baraSungey:
> jIHbang qama'
> I am a prisoner of love
>Is this the correct:
Almost. You've got the right words, but in the wrong order.
When you want to say "I am (a noun)", than the pronoun {jIH} follows the noun:
{qama' jIH} "I am a prisoner"
You can read in TKD 6.3 about that.
like in TKW 203:
Today I am a warrior.
DaHjaj SuvwI' jIH
Now you have "prisoner of love", which is a noun-noun construction.
TKD 3.4: "The translation of two nouns combined in this way, say {N1-N2} (that is, noun #1 followed
by noun #2), would be 'N2 of the N1.'"
In your case, N1 is {bang} and N2 is {qama'}, so you get {bang qama' jIH}
>thanks in advance
qay'be'. you're welcome.
