Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Today’s noun is a powerful word with a great deal of versatility. It’s vay’. V, A, Y, Apostrophe. vay’ means somebody or something, but it also means anybody or anything. A few examples would be useful right about now.
ghaytan vay’ HoHlaH vay’
likely, anybody could kill anyone
Qe’vo’ vay’ vItlhap
I took something from the restaurant
DaHjaj yatlhchoH vay’
today someone becomes pregnant
vay’ DaQoychugh yIHaw’
if you hear anything, flee!
A person may not know if Klingon is something that will capture their imagination until you actually pick up a copy of the dictionary and give it a try. It’s at that moment, as the possibilities begin to unfold, as the sheer pleasure of another language blossoms for you, that you begin to understand how language opens worlds. qo’mey poSmoH Hol.

| Today’s podcast is brought to you by Buffalito Contingency by Lawrence M. Schoen.
Conroy has left Earth far behind and taken his hypnosis act beyond Human Space. It should be show business as usual, except for the energy being the size of a hundred suns that wants to study him, a plot to smuggle liquid gravity, a troupe of alien sex wrestlers, a hypnotized ghost, and Reggie his buffalito stuck in a saurian toilet… “If you like hilarity along with your mayhem, or perhaps mayhem with your hilarity, then Buffalito Contingency was written with you in mind.” — Walter Jon Williams, Nebula award-winning author “Buffalito Contingency‘s aliens were so alien I reveled in my humanity, and the humans were so human I resolved to revel in the moment. But the book was so entertaining that humanity and the moment took a walk while I finished a really good read.” — Howard Tayler, Hugo-nominated cartoonist & author |
