Learn Klingon!

[nrk98]

bIljah 'e' yImev, the point is klingon is a rarety, and its god damn fun to learn too. Its hard, a challenge, but un the end, you can talk pretty privately in a public place, to say it that way.

[nickrohn93]

1 billion people can speak Klingon?!

[mile115KS]

all universe speaks english, just the klingons have to be special! fu*k 'ek!

[OMGyouAREaTWAT]

@mile115KS Actually its translated in real time by the Universal Translator. It works by analysing a language and sending any required translation back in time. Klingon and a few rare languages are exceptions that prove the rule.¬¬

[KeredDrahcir]

If you can speak Klingon can you apply for a job where bilingual is a requirement?

[joecolon2010]

Clearly stupid, Why someone want to learn something thats useless.

[ArchangelMichael1991]

@joecolon2010

how can you say it's useless when a whole race of aliens out there speaks it too ????

[iRicecrispy]

I wanna learn either Vulcan or Orion, Klingon seems gay...

[N3RDYG0GGLES]

Zetsubou shita! I must learn Klingon!

[Verrisin]

yey! Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - best anime, good someone used it like this

[drlf100]

Qapla'

[Moodo1]

Why the hell would anyone want to learn klingon for? Or elvish for that matter, whats the use?

[Dallastown18]

how bout ya fuck yourself with a klingon dildo

[splatter321]

it just sound russian

[liberalguy513]

Well, there's 48 seconds I'll never get back.

[spanishfort99]

ZETSUBOUSHITA!!!!!tlhIngan maH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheWriter0]

@spanishfort99 @ElPayasoMalo Sorry, I don't speak basement.

Me no speaky el basemento.

[maluth25]

has anyone written a book in Klingon yet?

[Psifork]

@maluth25 yeah, als im sure there are a few books that have been translated too, I think some of shakespear has been too!

[PatrickStewartTNG]

I'm doing now!!! I'm German and started learning Klingon two moths ago. I've learned to pronounce properly and understand easy questions and sentences!

[BooglesMcGee]

What anime is that from at the end?

[Kimeru]

@BooglesMcGee xxxHolic

[spanishfort99]

@BooglesMcGee sayonara zetsubou sensei

[Dest085]

6 billion people can't speak Klingon?! Its the most useful language for traveling the galaxy.

[mikeysrose]

What a positively shocking statistic!

This needs to be rectified.

[RusskayaImperia]

Sounds like Slavic languages with German accent lol

[schlaux]

I found YouTube.com/watch?v=QDBBmXtHR5­Y using the string — shakespeare "the original klingon" —, but did not find the sound I was obviously looking for. It's unclear to me how these false hits occur.

[xMazingerZ]

Hmmmm... c'est bien beau mais pour apprendre une langue, il faut l'immersion. Et moi je me demande bien où sur terre pourra-t-on vivre en immersion klingonne

[spacecadet35]

Does anyone know where I can get the performance rights to Hamlet in the original Klingon?

Please send the contact details.

Thanks

[zrajm]

You really shouldn't listen to that Klingon guy in the beginning, he speaks with a hinterland dialect known as Morskan. That is not your everyday ta' Hol (Emperors Language), I can tell you!

[zrajm]

Really. Don't listen to that Klingon guy in the beginning, he speaks with a hinterland dialect known as Morskan. That is not your everyday ta' Hol (Emperors Language), I can tell you!

[thelilgamerful]

don't you have to pay to be in the language institute

[Buzzlybonk]

I really must try to read Shakespeare in Klingon,,, would take me about 10 years at least

[Remousamavi]

tlhIngan Hol jIjatlhHom.

And no, I did not use a translator, I really do know a little Klingon.

[WhiteDragonTile]

why should I learn Klingon?

[hpbetterthantwilight]

@WhiteDragonTile BECAUSE YOU'LL BE AWESOME

[SaiyaMel]

He utters the words with kind of a Russian accent. on the website of " te,reS " he has some videos in Klingon, in which the narrator speaks it almost like an Native American language which is probably the correct way of pronunciation - seeing as Marc Okrand studied the Amerindian languages of California (and focused on one that is now extinct).

[ermoney14]

duje'onkuke'bek

[sirjosephwilliam]

ok i lived in germany for several years...am i the only one who thinks this sounds almost german??? (if ur german or u noe german than srry) but if u dont noe german and u noe the sound of the language than im more than willing to bet u noe that im right

[ermoney14]

WAT COUNTRY DO THEY SPEAK KLINGON

[oddnyi]

AMERICA

[alkhami1]

@ermoney14 ..."DO THEY SPEAK KLINGON IN WHAT?!"...."...what...?"  "KLINGON, MUTHAFUCKA DO YOU SPEAK IT!?" "YES!" "...then you know what I'm sayin'...?" "YES!" "DESCRIBE--WHAT--MARCELLIUS--W­ALLACE--LOOKS--LIKE!"

[DeathToAllHamsters]

that was awesome omg xD

[AnvilMAn603]

you get a 5 star just for SZS at the end lol

[gearshift35]

In response to aidanmeeham1..and all others here who are being pricks:

I don't "know" the Klingon language nor actually speak whole sentences and conversations in Klingon. But the point is, whoever fabricated the Klingon language had to have mastered several obscure languages, and is probably worthy of a Pulitzer prize for literature or something. Your comment has just betrayed your lack of judgement...and education.

[aidanmeehan1]

maybe i have but they have wasted their life on something that is truly fucked up. cmon man , KLINGON. are you taking the piss.

[Spock103]

@gearshift35 You are right. The Only Klingon that I know is Nuk'Nek whick means what do you want?

Klingon is complex. A language where you can swear at your teachers and get away with it.

[Milkpaw]

@gearshift35 the guy who invented klingon was some linguist... he also invented Vulcan. I forget the detail of klingon grammar, but i watched a special feature about the invention of it on one of the star trek movie dvds. he like, went crazy with it; he put so much thought into the language, then the actors went and messed up their klingonese lines and so he had to revise the grammar rules and stuff just so it made some sense.

[thatotherguy27]

@Milkpaw Actually, I heard that the ORIGINAL spoken language of Klingon was invented by one Mr. James Doohan - he just strung together some syllables that sounded cool. It was gibberish. The actual constructed language came a little later.

That's just what I heard, though.

[generosos87]

@gearshift35 klingon and elvish too. in fact, i think tolkien won a pullitzer prize for inventing the elven language

[calito0010]

@gearshift35 Marc Okrand was a genius

[80KungFu]

Why would anyone want to learn a made up langue? You have no use for it! Would it not be better if you take that time and energy and learned a real langue instead? A langue somebody actually speak? I love Star Trek but at an adult level. I look at the fantasy on tv and I understand that it is just that, a fantasy. I dont try to become the fantasy because how hard I try I will always be a part of reality.

[drstrangeman]

true the practicality of a "real language" vs a "a madeup language" is indisputable. but as i am a wrighter for me learning a "madeup language" is not just practical but also kinda fun. a madeup language helps make the reader "get sucked into the story" a lot easier than just words that every one can understand. (provideing youre wrighting fiction. not just fantasy but any fiction.) but for most people a madeup language is just for fun and adds to convention expirences.

[chocolaterazorblades]

i hope you're not writing in english.

[ilovefreddiethebest]

@drstrangeman

yea your a 'wrighter' LOL

hope your not writing in english.

[drstrangeman]

that's what an editor is for. to clean up grammer, and spelling mistakes. and besides things i type up on youtube ain't exactly how i right when i am wrighting for publication. the way i wright on you tube is more of a i'm just trying to get a point across. not too wright a letter to the queen of england or to a ceo of a company about a praise or complaint. i just need to get all this ruttin' school work out of my way then i'll wright my book.

[SuperDuckyWho]

@80KungFu

"Lolzorcoptors bbqwhat?"

Like the above made up language it's just for fun. Why not if you feel compelled to? It's just as worthy of free time spent as playing a video game, watching a movie, or reading a comic.

[MissPineapple98]

doch vert on noch rrbrin?

[animeownage86]

What a horrible world!

[tsukemaru1]

sounds like german

[gearshift35]

It's closer to Finno-Ugric, or Ural-Altaic.

The Klingon phrase" Qastah?" (What's happening?"actually exists in a language I used to speak as a child...an Austronesian language. But it meant "Like that." or Like so"...spelt "Kasta"

[aidanmeehan1]

your one very sad fucking loser. klingon , fuck sake mahn its a load a shite. you know your a fuckin weirdo when you know a language from a tv show , especially fucking star trek

[Lihinel]

Right, tell him.

Klingon is for weirdoes.

Real man speak Sindarin!

[You may be more suited for learning Newspeak though. Just Sayin'.]

[drstrangeman]

actualy sindarin is a newer language than Quenya. which is more or less like the elvish form of latin. and sindarin is more like middle english equivlent.

[axxmassacre]

@Lihinel kudos primarily for an Orwell reference. :)

[iamawesometoo]

@Lihinel I feel ashamed to know all your languages references. And that newspeak comment was uncalled for.

[Forlo12345]

@Lihinel HAHA, major pawnage. Especially the Newspeak part. Conformists they all are!

[maestroj96]

@aidanmeehan1 Hab Sosli Quch!!

[Kokuyo666]

Now if we just had the proper online resources to actually learn Klingon... The KLI just doesn't cut it.

[icypenguin11]

it's like german and turkish mixed right?

[Kokuyo666]

More like Swiss German and Russian. Turkish is too soft and Germans would have trouble with a lot of the guttural sounds.

[RottenRroses]

I speak German and Turkish but do not even understand Klingon. :)

[THECRAZEBLING]

spidercello, why don't you get a fucking life, you god damn Treksist prick?! GET THE FUCK OFF OF YOUTUBE!

[olsensth]

yay exactly german :D

ich versteh alles !!

[Dysharmonya]

lol why was Zetsubou sensei in this video?XD anyway, I hope to speak Klingon one day... :D

[smitto21]

im learning it Q'Pla!

[r4ndi4r]

can someone tell me what video the first part is from? or what episode??

[Lihinel]

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

[veSjoH103]

tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh'a'?

[darthkylord]

piss off, fanboy

[Lihinel]

[rexman92]

@Lihinel excuse me but i would like to Learn Klingon (just one problem im dyslexic and i cannot read words

as such when there typed like taH Daq Hoch yIn tIq jaj

im a railraod enthisiest as well and would love to be able to star speaking on the rails as a funny prank to my firemen partner lol it be a blast

[tsukikage]

The video was enjoyable enough, and then with the "Zetsubou shita!" I loled.

[18luck]

Half the world can't even speak English yet and you want us to learn Klingon?

Fat chance.

[DeadSilence2009]

For some reason reminds me of germans LOL

[Pepisa]

They look like red Draeneis!

[Dokmikh]

Too funny

[dvv1993402]

What anime was that at the end?

[Lihinel]

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

[dvv1993402]

is it good?

[Lihinel]

I'd say its damn good.

But you probably shouldn't trust me on that, as I am highly biased.

[bbgambini420]

LOL

[SweetPlague]

That was f*cking stupid!

Then .. : "Over 6 billion people dont speak Danish!" "Do not despair! Learn Danish!"

[Lihinel]

Nah, that is more of an exercice in producing something with utter lack of humor by downloading two other videos, one from a show aimed at poking fun at society, and using them to renarrate a german TV spot aimed at illiterates.

If you want something thats f*cking stupid you could try the webiste of the Flat Earth Society, though that is likely to be satire.

So if you want to be absolutly sure to find something f*cking stupid I'd sugest visiting Ken Hams Creation Museum.

[Aslapacrosstheface]

The flat earth society is exists, albeit its followed by a small number.

Think about it... if there is a creation museum, and there are people who support it, then Flat earth is not far off.

[punkrockefeller]

thanx 4 the info.

[SumoValaainen]

No Swedish. Sounds more like Russian..

[JOKAWILD26]

klingon sounds just like german or sweedish

[marcor5000]

hmm, I speak German and a little Swedish and I don't think that klingon sound like any of them.

German and Swedish also sounds very different from each other.

[roxettepg]

I agree because I also speak German and Swedish (but mostly Swedish) and it sounds nothing like that!

[hamest]

Doesn't sound like swedish at all. Trust me, I speak fluent swedish.

[AbsintheMint]

lol cool clip. really made me laugh.

can you tell me what anime you used for the final part? it was really funny. thanks

[Lihinel]

the clip is from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

[UnanimousDelivers]

LMFAO!! I recognized it as soon as I heard the voice actor. Brilliant justiposition!

Now, if you can find some way to put Azumanga Daioh and Startgate SG1 together, you'd be a god.

[jordinyc]

o_O indeed

[kashiwazakinenji]

... its juxtaposition!!

[PhilIAm94]

it sounds more liek native american :D

[tanthei]

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Klingon sounds like German to me ;D

[FattestDan]

Than you don't know German. It sounds maybe Russian and maybe a bit German if you don't know my native language, BUT if you would know German better, you would see there are more soft spoken letters than in Klingon/Russian

[LMUli]

tlhIngan Hol taHjaj

[blackstarlight07]

[Lihinel]

So ungefähr, nur dass ich die clips nicht in deutsch hab^^
