KLBC: Hello!
I've just joined the list, and I'd just like to say hello.
HELLO!
I've been learning Klingon for about a month now, on and off, and I think I could do with some practice.
As I'm new, I'd just like to ask how many people there are on this list, and where you're all from (Private message is fine).
Well, to get my ball roling, I thought I'd have a go at translating a little sentence, so that you could all poke fun at me, and tell me I'm stupid :-
"They were walking to the river when the stopped for lunch"
I know it isn't exactly amazing, but it was different....
"bIQtIqIqDaq chaH yIttaH 'e' Meghmo' chaH mevpu'Di"
just in case that lot looks like rubbish to most of you, this is how I stumbed my way to get it....
chaH - They
River - bIQtIq To the river - bIQtIqDaq
Walk - yIt Walking - yIttaH
Stopped - mevpu'
Lunch - Megh Due to lunch (?) - meghmo'
meghmo' chaH mevpu' - stopped for lunch
biQtIqDaq chaH yIttaH - they were walking to the river
When they stoped for lunch - meghmo' chaH mevpu'Di
'e' - last sentence (is this needed? I guess it should be)
Well, if you have any comments, don't wait to tell me!
TIA
Bealy
