Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
I have to confess, I’ve committed a couple errors in the last recording or so. It’s the Feklahr, you know. He’s everywhere. But I have take responsibility. Admitting one’s mistakes is more important than saving face. And speaking of face that noun in Klingon is qab. Lowercase Q, A, B. qab
mouth is nuj. N, U, J. nuj
eye is mIn. M, Capital I, N. mIn. So to talk about about eyes would be mInDu’. Do you remember the Type 2 Noun suffix –Du’ that marks the plural form, but only for body parts?
ghIch is nose. GH, Capital I, CH. ghIch
qogh is ear. Lowercase Q, O, GH. qogh
and the hair on your head (as opposed to other hair) is jIb. J, Capital I, B, jIb
So, let’s talk about your face. I mean, qablIj:
qoghDu’lIj tIn law’ mInDu’lIj tIn puS
your ears are bigger than your eyes
mevbe’chugh nujlIj qaHoHchoH
if your mouth does not stop, I will kill you
chaq romuluSgnan ghIch maS SoSlI’
perhaps your mother prefers the Romulan’s nose
Sooner or later you’ll find yourself comfortable with all the vocabulary we’ve been discussing. Then the challenge becomes combining the pieces, building phrases and sentences. Some of them will make as much sense as your mother’s preference for Romulan noses, others may be insightful and deep. You won’t know until you try, and sooner or later, you will try. Trust me, I know. I’ve seen it before. Language opens worlds. qo’mey poSmoH Hol.
