Ponder this....
Here is an interesting query.
Suppose you have a multi verb sentence like "My computer is malfunctioning
so to fix it I'll need to travel."
QapHa' De'wI'wIj vaj tI'lu'meH jIlengnIS.
Now suppose you want to modify ONLY ONE OF THOSE VERBS with the adverb
"slightly" = loQ.
Noteing that adverbials go at the front of the sentence (TKD 5.4) how
would you translate the following:
1) My computer malfuntioned slightly....
^^^^^^^^^
2) ...so to fix it a little bit....
^^^^^^^^^^^^
3)... so to fix it I must do alittle travleing.
^^^^^^^
Your thoughts are welcome.
