RE: KLBC: Re: mu'HaqwI'



jatlh Nelson:

> Ser vIchenmoH'a'? - Am I making any progress?

Warning! You've just run into an English idiom without realizing it. "make
progress" in Klingon just doesn't make much sense (another English idiom).
There are, though, several ways to say this:

jIghoj'a'? - Am I learning?
laHwIj vIDub'a'? - Am I improving my ability?
jItlhetlh'a'? - Am I progressing?

<tlhetlh> is a verb from KGT meaning "progress".

> BTW, *Qin must be a noun, is it?

HIja'.
