Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.

Today’s chuvmey is the exclamation lu’. L, U, Apostrophe. It’s also sometimes represented as luq. L, U, Lowercase Q. Either way, lu’ or luq, it means Yes! or Okay! or I will. Think of it as an exclamation of acknowledgment or agreement.

chom wIHoHnIS
we need to kill the bartender

lu’
okay!

meghmajvaD bomlaH vay’
someone can sing for our lunch

luq
I will

reH Suvrup SuvwI’pu’
warriors are always ready to fight

lu’
yes!


Maybe you’ll find yourself using this new exclamation when people are talking to you, in any language. It’s simple and easy, and I have no doubt that if you do use it, everyone around you will understand what you mean. Imagine, just like that, you’ll have more people in your life who understand Klingon! Surely that alone will open some worlds for you. 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
