[Tlhingan-hol] KLBC: Sentences as objects

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Greetings, fellow jatlhwI'pu'!

I figured it was time we had another "Beginner's Corner", so I decided to try my hand at starting one.
The idea is simple: Everybody - be they new students or grammarians - is encouraged to submit Klingon sentences (with English translations) on this theme:

== Sentences as objects ==

A bit tricky, perhaps, but that's all the more reason to practice :)

As a first example:

---------------------------------------------
{mu'tlheghvam DalaDlaH 'e' vISIv.}
I wonder if you can read this sentence.
---------------------------------------------

Now you try!

---------------------------------------------
{nuq DaghItlh DaneH?}
What do you want to write?

{DaghItlhlaH 'e' vISov.}
I know that you can write it.
---------------------------------------------

Sincerely,
Felix (a.k.a. loghaD)


P.S. For more info on sentences as objects, check out section 6.2.5. in The Klingon Dictionary.
