Can YOU speak Klingon?

[trilbymonkey]

I'm curious, there's a stereotype that true Trekkies speak Klingon.
I love the Trek , but I can't. So, can you??

I do not. But I do have conversational Klingon tapes that my mom got me years ago. Never really tried, though. And how "conversational" can Klingon be, I wonder?

 

[Shawnster]

Pretty conversational. After all, there is an entire Hamlet in the original Klingon.

I purchased the first Klingon dictionary waaaayyy back when. So I know a few words and numbers.

 

[Starbreaker]

I have the dictionary... for fun. I don't actually study it.

Even though I consider myself a Trekkie I'd never touch that Klingon dictionary because I have a rather strong dislike of all things Klingon.
If there was a dictionary about Cardassian, Romulan or Bajoran though, I'd be tempted to check it out.

"Q'pla!"

......that's about it.

 

[RaymondJames]

No, just a few words or phrases.

 

[Kelso]

"Q'pla!"

......that's about it.

That's wrong.

 

[Astraea]

Just for fun, how many Klingon words/phrases I can recall off the top of my head:

Qa'pla, racht, gagh, bat'leth, mek'leth, pe'taQ, d'k tahg, Hab SoslI' Quch, rokeg, gre'thor, sto-vo-kor, targ, raktajino, cha'dich, grishnar, chech'tluth. So I can guess I can basically order food, insult someone, or name a weapon (and I'm pretty sure the spelling or capitalization is off on half those words.)

Does anyone actually speak Klingon? Seriously?

 

[dreadpiraterose]

I do own the dictionary, but I only know a few words. I *Do* have the Klingon word for Terran as a tattoo.

 

[SalvorHardin]

I don't.
I know 4 or 5 words from hearing them in various episodes but I never bothered actively trying to learn the language.

 

[greenmystik]

I would love to be able to speak Klingon. That would be awesome.

 

[Starlock]

Errr.... (Checks Signature) Maybe...

There is also the Klingon edtions of Gilgamesh, Much Ado About Nothing and Tao Te Ching. Useful stuff.

[SalvorHardin]

The real question is...do you guys have the right voice to speak Klingon ?

 

[greenmystik]

Absolutely not.

I couldn't do Worf, but I could maybe manage Lursa.
