5. Orenau tu Vuhlkansu ___________? Fayei……
6. Nam-tor orensu svi’oren-kel t’Vuhlkansu ___________? Nam-tor……

Saturday, September 7, 2019

Chapter 1 > Deshker

>> Chapter 1 - Deshk-Zhit - Interrogatives
Interrogatives ask questions or outline specifics.

Uf how/what
Ra what
Lu when
Po why
Wilat where
If which
Vi who
Nosahp amount (math)
Mau  much
Kadona how much (parts: ka'don'a)
K’ashiv often
Tala   value/cost
Ba'tan  count (number)

Basic structure Verb-Subject-Object
Ar’kada X wilat? / Where does X work?

Basic Question: Verb-Subject-Interrogative
Svi’mahr-kel Sakkir po? / Why is Sakkir in the store?
Fayei aitlu sa-veh yem. / Because he needs food.

Changing the specifics:
Ra nam-tor Eingelsu? / What is (an) English?
Eingelsu wuhkuh gen-lis t’Terra. / English is one language of Earth.

Sa’haf t’du if? / Your bag is which?
Vu if sa’haf? / Is yours which bag?

Pointing to the question:
Ar’kadan du Friday? / Are you working Friday?
Ah, ha / yes
Rai, ri / no
Fi’ar’kadan du Friday? / At work are you Fridays?

Forcing interrogatives:
Ha-tor du la, ah? / Do you live here, yes?
Du fi’aitlun eifa, ri? / You want those, no?
Rim / none
Ulik / partially (kinda)

To ask someone to repeat is the same as most languages, using what, sorry, etc., but also:
Vesh’ra? / it was what? They were what?
Vesht? / It was?
Dungi? / It will be?
Uf k’du? / How are you? (greeting)
Ves if? / Which type/kind?

Uf, by itself, is used less than English because the how is the verb in VSO, but “how” will resurface as Vulcan is taught and written verb-subject-object (ex: wrote-I-the_message), as a proper method, but dialects of people different places, tend to drift into the SVO order shared by English.

Starting a sentence with a verb can and often does drift into a verb-finishing. It becomes prevalent when using only irregular verbs (such as “ma” to have) relying-on prepositions and interrogatives for direction.

Self-assessment: Ma du droi, ha?
Finish these questions using questionable words.
1> Ahmau tu ________?
2> Tishau tu veh ________?
3> Oren ______? Ten-mal (early) il tab’ma (late)?
4> Ha-tor sular (people) svi’kelek ________?
5> Ranau (practice) tu nash ___________?

B. Oren ek’tal t’du lu?
C. Savensu dan-rom t’du k’vi?

Sidenote: The word "don" means value and the common root of many financial terms, including - donku, money, and donaya, profit, a word you'll hear a Ferengi use a lot. A Vulcan might also say - don-ovaya, financial-growth.
