KLBC: How's this?
I�ve been here for a few months now, but I�ve never really tried any
*serious* {tlhIngan Hol} writing. So, here is an attempt... I think
there are some very grievous errors in sentance number three. I included
what I was trying to say (approximate English) and how I tried to say it
(literal English).
tlhIngan Hol:
naDevDaq jaHtaH pagh! wa'DIch, mu'meywIj Dayaj'a'? chu'wI'mo' jIH,
tlhIngan vIQub 'ej pab je mu'tay' vInej QatlhtaH 'e' qaja'laHchu'.
DI'vI' Hol ngeDlaw'!
Approximate English:
Here goes nothing! First, can you understand what I�m saying? As a
beginner, I can definately tell you that it is hard to think like a
Klingon and look up grammar and vocabulary. English seems easy!
Literal English:
Here goes nothing! First, can you understand my words? Because I am a
starter, I can tell you clearly that it is hard to think like a Klingon
and look for grammar and vocabulary. Federation language is easy,
apparently!
-McReynolds; trying to think of a Klingon name... my first name means
�little king.� Maybe {che'wI'Hom}? There is no word for king in my TKD,
and {ta'Hom}, {voDleHHom}, and {HI'Hom} all sound silly. Actually,
anything followed by {-Hom} sounds weak! {{:-( Any ideas?
