Is’uh kahat-cop, zhagra, stariben, vaya, kel-zup, tupa, eh glan-tar, na’nahr hayaik. (Use flashcards, games, speaking, repetition, homework, tutorials, and videos, for extra training.)

(2/5)

That’s the end of chapter 0. For those of you following along/learning, because you’re vulcanites, vuhlkansular, trekkies from ST:Disco, r/Vulcan, or from 40 Eridani A, nemaiyo.

(3/5)

Chapter 0: Introduction, I finished writing mid-February 2019, I’ve gotten comfortable posting/scheduling a new topic every Monday/Friday, college language classes assemble twice a week for two hours and can cover whole chapters, making vulcanlanguage.blogspot.com move slower, but Vulcan doesn’t share many similarly-sounding words with English.

(4/5)

If you’re finding these lessons in the distant future, sorry it’s not more front-end stylistic, I hope to streamline the creation/publishing fonts and format and style, etc, but, I hope you’re enjoying volume 2: Vuhlkansu-Nahr, or volume 3: Vuhlkansu-Tal. (the planned trilogy) or Volume 4: Vuhlkansuvayavukh (vulcan fiesta pro!) Or perhaps you’re enjoying the monosyllabic tonal harmonic partially telepathic soothing sounds of the Andorian language. Shran did nothing wrong.

(5/5)

Bad jokes aside, VLK_1_CH_1_ starts next week -- posting with a scheduler gives time to make a master copy closer to distro, and learn/codify Vuhlkansu with you, by reviewing and proofing, adding a glossary, pi’orniaga (a little taxing), pi'tala, (a little worth it.)

Hope this finds you well.

Tumaya (schedule/program)

Take a moment and realize the first thing you do when you wake from sleep. In Vulcan, write part of your morning schedule. Extra: Ask a partner “fi’tumaya ra?” (what is the schedule?)

Fi’tumaya ra. = What’s on the schedule?

Nash-gad nash-gad ________ = Today I ____________.

(more examples)

Nam-tor asal lu. = When is the morning?

Na’gad-shen. = Toward sunrise.

Intro > Culture (Iyula) 4

> Culture (Iyula)

The Vulcan word for late is “tab-ma” roughly meaning ‘modified-ownership’, in that someone who is intentionally late has changed the appointment time without sharing. Some events are expected to be relaxed, a party, a dinner, with a more general times. For this, you can ask, faika-wak (exact time), to-wak (certain time), bol-wak (vital time), or emphasize nam-tor instead of kah. "Bolau wak lu..." (when does the time need / to-need time when). “Wak-bolik” means time-critical, this form of “bol” and other adjectives will be covered later.

> Intro - TIME IN VULCAN (Nam-Tor vs Kya) & Practice 29

> Intro - TIME IN VULCAN

Wak ra? = What time is it?

Because of Vulcan linguistics, the verb to-be can be dropped, making “wak ra” seem like it asks, “What is time?”, but because nam-tor is omittable, the informal and casual “what is the time?” is much more basic. Since “nam” means existence, “nam-tor wak ra” (exists time what) asks what time is. How you say time in your language is how time is told in vuhlkansu.

Ma du wak-vel ha. = Have you a clock?

Wak t’gad ra. = The time of day is what?

Nam-tor nau t’aru. = It’s nine in the morning.

Asal t’kya = It is evening. (It’s)

.

“Kya” means existence or being, as an abstract, and is used more for spiritual, emotional, or other likewise temporary conditions. The verb form of kya is kah, not kya-tor. Due to nam-tor and k’ being used often, KYA is mostly ceremonial.

Kah lehdah i’, ri tab-ma. = It is twelve now, not later.

Kah sluk. = It’s fresh now.

Kah sluk’i. = It’s fresh right now.

Nam-tor pok. = It is ready.

(I’) Nam-tor pok(’i) = It’s ready now.

Kah-if-farr = It is time. (HGV)

Kah wak ra. = What time is it? (vague question.)

Nam-tor wak ra. = What time is it? (specific time.)

Nam-tor 10:55 = It is 10:55.

Nam-tor po’11 = It is around eleven.

Kah 11 = It’s passing 11.

Nam-tor reh’rehleh = _________________

Nam-tor sheh’kehleh-kau = ________________

Kah wuh’leh-kau = ________________

Nam-tor lehwuh = _________________

Kah rehleh s’keh = _________________

Su’us t’tarayek heh a’tuo. (Telephone numbers and addresses)

1 In Vulcan, ask someone what the address to the school is.

2. In Vulcan, ask someone what the telephone number to the school is.

3. In Vulcan, answer these questions correctly.

Be sure to write down your questions and answers first. Like English, there is no mandatory way or pattern to tell someone a telephone number, 123 can be one-two-three, twelve-three, or onehundredtwentythree, etc.

NOTE: In vuhlkansu, addresses use enumerating numbers after the noun. 10 Red street becomes Street Red #1

Number	1	Address “1 Red Street”
Cardinal	Wuhkuh yon yut	A red street
Ordinal	Wuh’rak yon yut	The first red street.
Enumerating	Yut Yon Wuh	“1 Red st.”
Combining	Wuh-yon yut	First-Red (always 1st) street
Adjectival	Yon yut wuhik	Red street first.

For new learners, this book will try to use simple Enumerating form and will keep number lessons rare, because you'll probably count in your first language.
