RE: Relative clauses



Here are some less literal alternatives.

peHruSvaD jang ghunchu'wI':

>>I know what the restaurant normally serves.
>
>roD vay' jab Qe'.  nay' vISov.

roD Qe' HIDjolev vIDellaH.

>>I see how the cook prepares the dumplings.
>
>chab vut vutwI'.  mIw vIlegh.

chab vutmeH mIw vIlegh.

chab vut vutwI' 'e' vIbej.
If you don't like this, don't use it. To me, the difference is splitting
a VERY fine hair.

>>The warriors don't go to the places where we found the prisoners.
>
>pa' Qama'pu' DISampu'.  DaqmeyvetlhDaq jaHbe' SuvwI'pu'.
