Both words mean unable to move but how exactly DIy differs from ngItlh?
It may be just my problem since English isn't my native language but anyway. I just want to be sure what the difference is
peqIm - Here's my Halloween present for you: Watch, enjoy, and share!
note: I'm not too sure what a question mark is in pIqaD but I think it's what I wrote. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
in an iconic scene in Conan the Barbarian, we see the leading woman give a speech after Conan is brought back from the dead. I think I got it translated but I want c&c to make sure it's right. I took a little liberty when it seemed appropriate.
"All the gods they cannot sever us. If I were dead and you still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness, back from the pit of hell to fight at your side."

Hello, I'm a big Trek and Klingon fan, but pretty new to the Klingon language. I am hoping to translate something along the lines of "Honor in peace" into Klingon.
Thank you so much.
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

I've attempted to translate Picard's speech above into tlhIngan Hol but I'm not too sure if I've done it right. Please let me know about any mistakes I've probably made.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Based on what you guys said, I think the below is more accurate
tlharwIl wa'DIch mItlhlu'DI' mIr mItlhlu'. reH Hoch wIbagh Hey' SoQ wa'DIch, tuch buSHach wa'DIch, tem DIb wa'DIch.
I'm currently working on a Star Trek fanfic that revolves around a group of Immortal Klingon Warriors, they are heavily based on Netflix's "The Old Guard".
I've decided to call the immortal Klingon's in my fic, "The Ancient Guard" and I'm wondering what they would be called in appropriate Klingon.
Thank you in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Alright, this may sound dumb, but is there something like Wiktionary, but for Klingon? I know there is languageinventions wikia for High Valyrian and Dothraki, Eldamo for Sindarin and Quenya (however lacking in forms that are conjugated). I've found that it really helps me to have tables with inflection to check and it helps me memorize the endings and where they go.
is there a TREKKIE in the house? ok "combat" in klingon is "vIq",but what are the actual klingon characters? as in unicode PUA characters in the U+F8D0 to U+F8FF range?
[edit: i think it is U+f8e6 U+f8d7 U+f8df, but i'd really like someone to confirm for me.]
Hello everyone,
I'm working on a fan project and have some Klingon dialogue that I would like properly and accurately translated:
Anyway, I appreciate the assistance.
I'm translating the song and it goes about heaven's garden QI'tu' Du'Hom but i want to state that its a great garden. Can i say Du'Hom'a'?
Greetings all!
I've been revisiting lore for my Klingon-themed Star Trek Adventures tabletop game and am trying to develop properly translated phrases. Since the setting fell in the years before Discovery, I had the idea of building off Beta Canon and having the three distinct styles of Klingons portrayed in different production eras of the show exist alongside each other. For those who exist in the DSC era, I figured that the more alien design was the result of early forms of genetic engineering. The procedure was intended to remove the perceived taint and deformity which had afflicted Klingons since the Qu'vat plague, thereby reclaiming an honorable place in Klingon society.
What I'm looking for is to find a phrase for this medical procedure. My initial thought was to call it something like "The Restoration," but obviously found there wasn't a particularly clean way to do that. Some of my most recent ideas were something closer to "Procedure of Restored Honor."
quvqa'ghach mIw
My (likely flawed) understanding is applied quv to be honored and qa' to denote that the act of being honored can be repeated or resumed. The -ghach nominalizer (applied due to the qa' suffix) forms the verb into a noun format. Use of mIw is straightforward but perhaps incomplete. I was considering use of the causal suffix -mo' (due to, because of) or -vaD (intended for), but am uncertain if either are truly appropriate.
Would this seem accurate as far as I have it? Any constructive advice or suggestions on refinement or alternatives?
Great warrior-poets and soon-to-be friends, like many others I come to you with a request. I have a hopefully romantic thing I would like to say to My Love, I'd like to say it in a language as passionate as my feelings for her. There is only one choice that fits. Klingon.
Here is my problem, however - I cannot speak Klingon, nor can I read it with the correct pronunciation. Not yet at least, aside from 2 words. My request follows: would some kindly translate my declaration of love for her, and give me some guidance that I say it proudly and with honour. And to not look like a petaQ.
Many thanks, honoured brothers and sisters. Qapla'!
"Heaven/Valhalla is nothing but your shadow. To die for you would be the greatest honour!"
I know this is a, very odd request, but could anybody help translate this song into Klingon? Keeping beat and rhymes isn't needed. Thanks!
Warning: it's a bit of a weird song. If you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to help :)
[Verse]
The toilets in Seoul, shining white
The toilet bowl sparkles, bright as a star
The sound in that moment, like a rhythm
Drip-drop falling, the beat of a drum
Calmness felt inside the restroom
In the quiet moment, kindness is heard
The flush sounds like music
Everything here is perfect harmony
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I wash my hands, the water drops dance
The smile reflected in the mirror, a beautiful chance
The automatic flush, a magical moment
This place is my clean small town
[Chorus]
I love the toilets in Seoul
The bright white appearance is so lovely
So fresh and clean, I love this scene
It feels like heaven here, I really like it
A moment where all fatigue disappears
Dreaming time in the fragrant space
The start of such a pleasant day
The toilets in Seoul are always fantastic
[Verse 2]
As the water flows, a clear sound echoes
Fragrant air fills the room
Comfort felt on the toilet seat
A moment where all stress vanishes
The sound of the toilet water is like a little song
All my worries disappear
Sunlight shines in this perfect space
Seoul's toilets are a true paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
The tissue is soft, like a cloud
Everything is alright in this clean space
A quiet moment as if the world stopped
The restroom is my little comfort land
[Chorus]
I love the toilets in Seoul
The bright white appearance is so lovely
So fresh and clean, I love this scene
It feels like heaven here, I really like it
A moment where all fatigue disappears
Dreaming time in the fragrant space
The start of such a pleasant day
The toilets in Seoul are always fantastic
[Bridge]
Who knew there was such joy
Seoul's toilets, a piece of art
Dancing hearts in rhythm and scent
So lovable, the toilets in Seoul
[Chorus]
I love the toilets in Seoul
The bright white appearance is so lovely
So fresh and clean, I love this scene
It feels like heaven here, I really like it
A moment where all fatigue disappears
Dreaming time in the fragrant space
The start of such a pleasant day
The toilets in Seoul are always fantastic
[Outro]
Every morning is a joyful surprise
A new sunrise in this clean space
The toilets in Seoul are always perfect
Everything here is a perfect connect
For example we both see this
The best i came up with was cha; 'oH wIlegh maH
I dont know how to say 'both' maybe only using je/joq will work out?
Qavan. I'm slowly picking up the language and doing my best not to butcher the language for episode titles in my Klingon-themed Star Trek Adventures game. I had an idea for something vaguely titled as "I Wish to Know the Sky." My thinking thus far was something along the lines of:
Chal'a' Sovjaj'
Sky+augmentative suffix to know+optative suffix reflecting the desire/wish.
Since there is an object, I didn't think a 1st person prefix would be necessary. Does this seem like it'd be on the right track? Anything that people think I am missing?
A friend texted this to me but idk what it means.
Apologies for the basic grammar question
Why do you say nuqjatlh and not nuq Dajatlh (what did you say?)
How would I say 'what did he say?' nuq jatlth ghaH?
The best I could come up with is tum 'elI'jaH tlhIngan wo'
but I'm still a rank beginner and I'm not sure if the word order or even the translations are correct. I'm using this for a Qo'noS tourism poster I'm making.
Thanks for any insights!
