What are you disagreeing with?

>{muv} qech 'oSbe'.

qatlh <muv> DaqelchoH?
How did the {muv} idea enter into this?

>{jeS} qech 'oSbe'.  vaj {DuSaQDaq ghoj} {DuSaQDaq HaD} qoj vIchup.

quSDaq bIba'.  mu'tlheghmeyvetlh'e' vImughmeH, nIb wIvmeywIj.
'ach mu'tlheghmeyvetlh vImughbe'taH.  mu'tlhegh wa'DIch vImughqa'chugh, jaS
vImugh'a'?  ghobe'.
Well, sure.  I too would translate "learn at school" and "study at school"
as {DuSaQDaq ghoj} and {DuSaQDaq HaD}, respectively.  But for a mere
"attend school", I still prefer my original translation.
