Because today's KWOTD was {Qub}, @chaQDI posted the sentence {jIQub vaj jIHtaH} to Twitter. I recognised it immediately as a translation of "je pense, donc je suis", better known through the Latin "cogito ergo sum". Would you use {jIHtaH} for this or just plain {jIH}? I think I would have rendered it as {jIQubmo' jIH}. But I wonder if that wouldn't look like it was missing the second part of a complex sentence? (Because {jIH} looks like the subject of {jIQubmo'}.)
As far as I know the originals do not talk about ongoing being; they just prove that because I do think, I must be.
Including {vaj} prevents the {jIH} being the subject of {jIQubmo'}. -- SuStel http://www.trimboli.name/ _______________________________________________ Tlhingan-hol mailing list [email protected] http://mail.kli.org/mailman/listinfo/tlhingan-hol
