Re: Chuck
I just saw it. Surprisingly, I could recognize what they were saying.
Their pronunciation was better than their acting, which isn't saying
much. So, here it is:
Early in the show, Chuck's nemesis says:
tlhIngan Hol DajatlhlaH. [He said it as if it were a question.]
to which Chuck answers:
HIja'. bIpIvqa'law'.
Later in the show, the nemesis says:
ghaj'a' yIvbeH? HIja'? ghobe'? [Note: he totally blew the
pronunciation of {yIvbeH} and I guess he was clipping his Klingon,
since there was no prefix on {ghaj}. His {yIvbeH} sounded like "dweb".]
Chuck replies:
HIja'.
He repeats {HIja'} a few seconds later, then breaks to English.
They didn't get glottal stops or pronounce their {H}s very well, but
for normal actors not coached by Okrand, this was good stuff.
