stargater: (jadzia & worf)

For [livejournal.com profile] faithnsin:

This is probably going to really cement my geekiness (my only saving grace may be that I did have to look a few of the words up in a book for proper spelling) but here goes... ;P

Do you speak Klingon: tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh'a'
I don't speak Klingon: tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhlaHbe'
Federation standard language: DIvI' Hol
Only: neH is an adverb but when following a noun means "only" or "alone"

I don't know if it's proper to combine the phrases together, but if someone asked me if I spoke Klingon, in Klingon I would reply:

tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhlaHbe' DIvI' Hol neH

That's roughly translated to "I don't speak Klingon, only Federation Standard."

Like I said, I don't know if it's correct to combine them like I have, but I don't see why they couldn't be. Then again, I don't really understand all the semantics of Klingon language. I'm lucky enough if I remember English half the time ;P

And just for the record, I do not consider myself as a Klingon speaking person, I really only know a few handfuls of phrases/words/insults, you know just the basics to get by when encountering a Klingon on a far away space station and such.

By the way, the phrase in the subject line: QuvlIjDaq yIH tu'be'lu'jaj! means "May your coordinates be free of Tribbles!"

hehe
