This method is fantastic. It keeps me motivated and things start to cling to the brain. Klingon that clings.

Just want to say these lessons are great. I don't know why they haven't got more likes

[@johnduff5003]

Attention: the officers help the captain is ***NOT*** HoD QaH yaSpu' ***BUT*** HoD luQaH yaSpu' (prefix lu- because the subject is plural and the object is singular!), or rather HoD luQaH yaS (pu' is omitted since the prefix already indicates a plural)

Oops!

[@JeiFaeKlubs]

great, now I'll never get rid of that image you painted with "lob".

[@vialingo]

Yes, I remember spending many long hours trying to think of something better, but failing.

[@JeiFaeKlubs]

@@vialingo it does its job very well, though, so...thank you for that :D

[@saraperlstein]

I just watched an episode of DS9 where that exact thing happened, so for me it was great! 😂

[@etruscanetwork]

[@UnhappyKirby]

If I wanted to say I don’t teach children, do I say puqpu’ JighojMohbe’ or does Ji gain priority?

[@vialingo]

jIghoj - I learn
jIghojmoH - I teach
vIghojmoH - I teach them
puqpu' vIghojmoH - I teach children
puqpu' vIghojmoHbe' - I don't teach children
puqpu' vIghojmoHbe' jIH - *I* don't teach the children / It is I who doesn't teach children

[@UnhappyKirby]

Thank you :)
