Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Once again we end our work week with a visit to Marc Okrand’s Klingon for the Galactic Traveler and a special new word. Today it’s the verb wup. W, U, P, wup means burst into song. Sounds like a fun thing for a Friday, doesn’t it? Let’s try it out with some practice sentences:
bImonDI’ jIwup
when you smiled, I burst into song
jaghpu’ma’ DIHoHtaHvIS ghaytan mawup
while we are killing our enemies we are likely to burst into song
not bom romuluSnganpu’ ‘ach rut wup tlhInganpu’
Romulans never sing, but sometimes Klingons burst into song
You can speak Klingon with ease any time you like, because you choose to do so. Despite what you may have previously been told, learned at your mother’s knee, or discerned from the voices of authority that have guided you so far in your life, at the end of the day most everything that you experience is the direct consequence of a choice you have made. So, if you want to see how language opens worlds, all you need to do is make that choice, and let your life unfold accordingly. No more excuses, it’s all on you now. 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 |
