I don’t understand the concept of ‘shouted at me in Klingon,’ as if there were another way to speak Klingon.

There is also ‘intimidating low growl at me in Klingon’.

Wouldn’t that be more ‘intimidating low growl at me like a Klingon’ in this case?

Now I want to ask Marc Okrand if growling is part of the language.

It’s like sexy German, sure it may exist theoretically but no one has ever heard it

I watched the German dub of Frieren (I don’t speak German) and Lügner had a pretty sexy voice imo.

Does Lügner have the Gowron bedroom eyes though?

All kidding aside I watched Dark recently and DAMN German cinema is making good stuff

If “shouted in Klingon” is redundant, then is “said in Klingon” an oxymoron?

When there is only one volume level, I would claim “said” is all that applies.

He whispered to me in Klingon really doesn’t sound right.

No, you tell him “If you were not my father, and the leader of this house I would kill you where you stand!”

…then maybe later you wonder whether any of this stuff comes from old Samurai movies.

Hey, if Star Wars can steal from old Samurai movies, so can Star Trek.

So how would you say that you’re a disappointment to the empire in Klingon?

There was a story of an international couple that didn’t speak eachothers language, but they met at a convention and so they talked klingon to eachother. No idea how reliable the story is, could be pure lies.

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
