Just got this on duolingo and for context I have reduced sense of smell (I can only smell things if I specifically sniff them or the smell is EXTREMELY strong) and it never ever occurred to me that tribbles would have a smell

So, wonderful people of tumblr what do you think tribbles smell like

Klingon Hamlet, post 1

gifted to me by my very dear friend @section-69, this is an honest to god klingon translation of the entire text of hamlet that i'm planning to read and post about over the next while despite my middling at best grasp of the klingon language. particularly love the portrait of the "author" and the tangible love and dedication with which the whole thing was made.

There is an old Klingon proverb - roughly translated, it means "Many are the good consequences had by ocean life scientists."

reading shakespeare to get a better understanding of klingon culture and came across this little coincidence (or not?) in antony and cleopatra that made me smile :)

Do you think there are secular Klingons who see the whole warrior race schtick as fundy extremist bullshit? Like, holy shit dude, calm the fuck down, you can't plunder and pillage your way into space faring technology.

Tak jakby literówka

Dzisiejszy dzień do zjazd energetyczny po 8h godzinach na uczelni (jutro będzie dłużej), więc nie będzie zbyt elokwentnie.

Jedna z sal (s.9) na uczelni ma naklejone oznaczenie w pIqaDzie. To jest "S 9".

Gdyby było w pełni prawilnie, to byłoby "P 9", ponieważ "pokój/sala" po klingońsku to {pa'}.

Wciąż – doceniam gest, nawet jeśli nie do końca tak to może wyglądać :D

Im learning klingon for about a month now. At first it was a joke.

But I don’t it’s a joke anymore…

You haven’t truly appreciated the beauty of Somewhere Over the Rainbow until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.

Matthew as a Disney Prince is definitely the Beast in his song

I was the one who had it all I was the master of my fate I never needed anybody in my life I learned the truth too late

I'll never shake away the pain I close my eyes, but she's still there I let her steal into my melancholy heart It's more than I can bear

Now I know she'll never leave me Even as she runs away She will still torment me, calm me, hurt me Move me, come what may

Wasting in my lonely tower Waiting by an open door I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in And be with me for evermore

I rage against the trials of love I curse the fading of the light Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach She's never out of sight

Now I know she'll never leave me Even as she fades from view She will still inspire me Be a part of everything I do

Wasting in my lonely tower Waiting by an open door I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in And as the long, long nights begin I'll think of all that might have been Waiting here for evermore

I’m watching this reality show with my brother that’s like a blacksmithing competition and some of these people look exactly like you’d expect blacksmiths to look and others look like the person in movies that blacksmiths would kick out of the tavern.

EXPLAINING THE JOKE:

The Klingon word for Tuesday is povjaj and the top line says latlh povjaj? (another Tuesday?)

The bottom line says povjaj but this time it translates to "May it be excellent" because that's what the verb pov plus the suffix -jaj means

this pun has been built into the language since the days of the week were named and now you know ok bye
