Help:A Guide to Klingon/others

Articles
There is no Klingon equivalent to the definite article (the) or the indefinite articles (a, an). When translating from Klingon they must be inferred from the context.

Pronouns
If a pronoun is required with a verb, then usually a verb prefix is used (explained under Verbs). The following pronouns can be used, either as subject or object, to give greater emphasis or clarity. In this role they act as nouns, and can take appropriate noun suffixes.

The pronouns can also act as the verb to be, and so take the usual verb suffixes.

Conjunctions
After a verb je means also or too.

Examples:

Adjectives
There are no adjectives in Klingon. Instead verbs which express a state or quality are used, with the noun as the object.

When a Klingon verb is used in this way as an adjective, then any type 5 suffixes which would normally apply to the noun are instead applied to the verb:

Adverbs
Adverbs are not formed by modifying an adjective.

These adverbs are placed at the beginning of a sentence or clause, except for neH which appears after the verb it modifies.

Examples
Some verb suffixes also act as adverbs, such as -bej, -ba', -law' and -qu'.

Suffixes
Two suffixes are used with Klingon numbers.

An ordinal always comes after the noun. Also, an ordinal can act as a noun.

The adverbs go at the start of a sentence.

Questions
In addition to the verb suffix -'a', Klingon has words corresponding to the interrogative words of English.

The word order is important.
