  • How do you say "I hate the sound his pen makes when he writes" in Klingon?

  • @thefartydoctor

    Instead of "Kill one, I don't care who" he said "Kill, I don't care." When Okrand decided that the imperative prefix suggested a singular object, then what the actor said was "Kill (one), I don't care" which might be clear enough to the listener. So I suppose that Okrand saw no need to explain why it was legal to drop vay, beyond supposing that that meaning could be inferred from the context. I don't know for sure though.

  • In the bit vay' jISaHbe', why did the vay' go. Does anyone actually know. I'm not learning it, but I'm just interested.

    Nevertheless, I can now go to people and say *yIHoH, jISaHbe'*

  • sounds like "yaHoH" what C. Lloyd says, as if he merged "way'" and "yI".

  • WOW! 

  • @Accisma - I never thought of it that way lol; that DOES make sense! :D

  • YAAAAAAAAY!

  • wtf in Klingon is PICAAAACHU
