TheQuaxi Right after Jason Statham wins the “Best Dis on a Cell Phone” award

Maybe you should be a Trekkie. Resistance is futile. 🖖

Eh...still in tears.

omg that would be beautiful

lol my dude, no matter how much of a Trekkie you are, no one is going to spend their free time learning the Vulcan language. And yet if you learn Klingon, chances are you'll find someone who you can communicate with randomly on the street.

To be fair Klingon is one of the most widely spoken/developed conlangs out there because of popularity and the fact there’s just more material available as far as I’ve seen. Heck it’s even on Duolingo now, not that I can pronounce any of it very well. Sindarin deserves to be on there too 😂

It's the cop that instigates the Klingon dialogue, he wouldn't know that.

The Klingon Language is the only one. There are only a few phrases and sentences in Vulcan or any other culture in Star Trek. Klingon is a fully developed language.

The closest thing I know is QaD (haven't heard him saying this, he said Q'a Do'h or something, which is not the same), and that means "dried up", in the context of dried up enemy or dried up danger. Another one would be choq - which means "preserve", that might be even closer.

My guess is they were improvising a bit, but it might be that people have been trying to further develop the language outside of canon anyway since there’s translations of stuff like Hamlet

The german wiki page says that in the original version the actors pronounced a few lines incorrectly.

The pronunciation is off too

I haven’t seen the movie but She’s a super fan knows every bit of trivia about it and she wrote a script for a contest or something

why!? are Star Wars fans racist on Klingons? )) cannot believe that! do you believe that?

chaq raD, petaQ

Sometimes certain words in other languages translate to something more literal but are used in specific context/sentence structure to imply different things. It’s kind of fascinating when they do that in conlangs too! Either that, or they didn’t put too much effort into properly translating the lines.

@@N3RDYG0GGLES It was translated by the Klingon Language Institute

@@N3RDYG0GGLES It's true, even in English we have words like "egregious" which means both "outstandingly bad" and "remarkably good"

It's making a genuine effort, from what I gather, seeing the scene again without having seen the movie (really should, autistic representation is important and Dakota Fanning did her research on this, which is why they make her distinct and not a stereotype), makes me wonder if Patton Oswalt's character is autistic or is more suggesting he's a friend in being a fellow Star Trek fan. Either way, an interesting use of what is supposedly a minor character in the film

Right? They would never last a day on Kronos!
