>> Qob yIHraj qopnISlu'.
>> Someone should arrest that dangerous tribble.
>
>One grammatical error, and two differences from what I asked for.
>{Qob yIH}, as you demonstrated above, means "the tribble is
>dangerous." To say "dangerous tribble," you'll find that the
>adjective section of the verbs chapter prescribes a different word
>order
>
>I said "that" not "your" tribble, and, seeing as you have to fix this
>one anyway, give me two sentences, one saying "someone shoud arrest
>that dangerous tribble" and the other saying "that dangerous tribble
>should be arrested." Subtle difference, but there.
yIHvetlh qob qopnISlu'
qob yIH 'e' qopnIS
Is the 'e' necessary?
-------------------------------------------------------
>> chutmey SaHbe' 'e' vIQub.
>> I suspect it does not care about the laws.
>
>maj. But I said "suspect" not "think." Use the vocab.
chutmey SaHbe' 'e' vInub
-------------------------------------------------------
>> yIHraj bIghHa'Daq lunge'.
>> The guards will take your tribble away to jail.
>
>Careful. You've broken up the OVS of the main clause with a noun+Daq. See
>page 60. "Any noun in the sentence indicating something other than subject
>or object comes first, before the object noun."
bIghHa'Daq yIHraj lunge'
-------------------------------------------------------
>> jotHa' jIH nabmeyHeymo' yIHDaj.
>> The animal's apparent plans make me uneasy.
>
>This subject of the sentence I gave is "this animal's apparent plan." The
>verb is "make uneasy." The object is "me." Simple OVS sentence. Try
>again. Look at the verb suffix {-moH} in 4.2.4 for a hint.
jIH mubItmoH nabmeyHey yIHDaj
or just
mubItmoH nabmeyHey yIHDaj
-------------------------------------------------------
More, please.
