I don't know why people insult this guy. I mean, it's probably a weird language and manmade, but there's a lot of people speaking it all over the world, and if they're happy, then leave then alone.
KlingonTeacher Whether or not the language is made-up or not, it is still a language nonetheless. It doesn't have to be a part of a country or currently spoken as there are people who are still learning Latin and Ancient Greek. It is a great thing that you are taking the time to do this. Though I'm not a fan of Star Trek *I've never bothered to watch it*, I am a fan of language. People should not criticize this video as being useless. You keep doing what you are doing. It is a shame that all these other people who are criticizing you have their head stuck up their ass. Qapla'
VicPic SuperBird I know it's a fictional language, but Star Trek's fan base is so large that there are more speakers of Klingonese than there are for a not-insignificant number of 'real' languages.
I gave my wife a near heart attack when I yelled Qapla' as she got up to go brush her teeth. She gave me a WTF look and I yelled it out again even more intensely 😂😂😂
I do not know why there are so many people who do not understand, than some things we learn are just for fun.My channel is just about the middle ages - it is real history, but it is also fun and knowing about it is also not necessary in everyday life - so what? I like this course, but I already knew these words. I have a lot of friend who will love this video so I am gonna share it.
KawauTV - Der Mittelalter-Kanal Middle Ages are quite important, we have to learn about the past to understand the present. You are doing a great contribution to humanity with your videos.
Fictional languages actually require a firm understanding of linguistics and languages. It's not enough to be a geek to want to learn it, you've got to have some language know how. Sure they don't serve a practical purpose but they offer insight into the study of language itself.
You don't need to. In fact, all you need to do is simply hear one pronunciation and twist it into your own. I mean, if an alien life form had spoken in a way that seem jibrish don't you think we'd try to splice it ourselves? Spouting out, "You need to learn how to do language" is pretty much stating, "You need to be logical to craft your own religion." The human mind can understand the words so long as it can be speaken through tongue. If it were done by made up finger signs, we'd have the capacity to do said language or signs.
Okay, 1: Ever heard of ASL (American Sign Language)? Y'know, with the made up finger signs and all... And 2: Actually, a pretty solid grasp of linguistics is a boon. Have you ever studied another language? It helps to be able to differentiate "We are going to the store" from "We will go to the store" from "We went to the store" from "We were going to the store", etc. Just throwing the base words in there is pretty this gibberish of which you speak
I think this is partially true. Indeed the study of a fictional language offers some insight into the study of languages itself. But this is because of the way fictional languages are usually tought (with a good amount of information on linguistics, often with a knowledge on how languages evolve). The study of a real, foreign language usually doesn't include this kind of information and, when it does, it is not to the same degree that the study of a fictional language does. It would be different if the study of a real language was accompanied by that sort of information. But here there is one problem: Real languages are much more difficult to learn, as fictional languages have much less excpetions to rules, much less oddities and irregularities and oddities, etc. The study of areal language requires much more time and dedication, and including linguistics knowledge in it is not very producent. This is usually not the case with fictional languages.
This is glorious - so good! I just love the whole set up of his room; he's gone to so much effort. It's people like this that make the world seem a better place.
I use these phrases whenever random people approach me and ask for money, usually in airports. It works like a charm, they immediately leave you alone and look for someone else. Thank you very much! Qapla'!
Ordinarily, a Klingon of equal or higher rank would simply walk up and state their business. When approaching a Klingon of higher rank/status, one would politely wait (outside their personal space, of course) until they said "nuqneH", acknowledging your presence and giving you permission to speak. If you simply begin speaking to a Klingon and they ignore you, this is an indication that they feel they are of higher rank/status than you. Your choices are to either acknowledge such by waiting politely until you hear "nuqneH", or assert your own rank by saying something like "QI'yaH petaQ, laH HI'Ij SoH?" ("Hey, petaQ, can you hear me?") NOTE: In the latter instance, be prepared to verify your claimed status with your fists, Daqtagh, or betleH.
Russell101 Of course. You can make the same argument about King Arthur and Camelot. I'm a history geek, I love studying other cultures, love studying how languages (including created ones) evolve, I've done some amateur acting, and I write Fantasy & SciFi short stories. I just really enjoy watching Klingon language and culture go from an idea in Gene Roddenberrys' head to- this. And then there's George Lucas' Jedi Religion, which (although totally "fake") also seems to have taken on a life of its own.
I really enjoyed your video, as a linguist and language-lover. It's not an easy feat to create a language, and disrespecting an artificial language really shows ignorance on the part of the person criticising. Tolkien, for example, spoke several languages but also created his own, it's a natural step. You're clearly dedicated to learning the language and proper pronunciation, and that's admirable regardless of how 'useless' other people see the language itself.
Actually cool. First well-dressed, well-mannered cilivilized klingon ever... This is what we get when we put Son of Mogh to work in the Federation ship. Next thing klingons will be drinking Earl Grey tea and comparing nice colors of their handbags and bat'leths.
Ignore the comment below me. He simply hopes to learn parts or all of a language with virtually no effort put forth at all. I, for one, would like to thank you for making this tutorial. Can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
The main reason I want to learn Klingon is so that I can go through the mall without having to stop and speak English to the Middle Eastern merchants in the kiosks. It's very unlikely that they know Klingon. This video is probably more than enough for me to get out of a sticky situation. Thanks!
Yo man, much respect. learning any language is commendable, but conlangs must be a bit more difficult considering the scarcity of material. and about the haters out there,man, they don't understand... human curiosity. we do it because we can! ( I'm not really studying Klingon right now but I find all languages interesting, probably study it one day after I advance farther in Japanese)
If you like language interpreters I bet on this guy. Klingon is the biggest/largest human made language on the planet. This Germany teacher is really good. He has some German and some English version on how to teach us speak proper Klingon. And he does a very good job about it. Even thou I love the Endorian Empire; it is always good to know some Klingon.
@KlingonTeacher Qapla' This is appreciated greatly, I'm working on a 2nd mission for the KDF in the game Star Trek Online. In my 1st mission I named the featured BoP the I.K.S. pegh cha'blp (Secret Bird, noted for its speed). Now for my 2nd mission I've have named the featured Negh'Var, the I.K.S. qIj Hov (Black Star), named the ships Captain K'chIS and named the featured Vor'cha the I.K.S. qul jev (Fire Storm).
I have been searching for the Klingon command "Attack!" and/or "Fire Weapons! at that ship!" Can I get a Klingon savant to share that with me? I heard the word in one of the movies when the Klingon commander was shouting the order. Can't remember which movie (or TV episode). I thought maybe it was Ka-PLAH but apparently that's not it.
I myself improve to this achievement, because we humans have learned our own words for so long that it might be fun to craft a new set of words. I mean, we forget that it took us years to understand other languages and saw what they did in life. While this is fiction it's still would interesting to witness reactions of those who don't understand such care and time that came to this. I plea to see more of these in the future.
@GJSmith84 - qIj chIS means "black white". You can pronounce it roughly like [kitch chish], like in kitchen and chisel. To make it more precise, pay attention to pronouncing the j as in DJ.
Wow! Ten languages I am really impressed! Currently I am struggling with Mandarin/Cantonese...my wife mixes them all the time @ 100words/min. I've had a couple years in Royale francois, 7 Jahre "Alt Deutsch", 3 Jahre HochDeutsch, en bietje van die Taal van die Afrikaaners, and years of watching Mexican children's shows. I may ask you for advice on Turkish as my manager is from there. He thinks I understand his language but really I'm faking it. How good is your Arabic?
Just curious, but what do you think would be most polite/diplomatic when meeting a Klingon; to be straight forward and forgo greeting, use something from your own language to greet him/her, use Q'Pla or something else?
@KlingonTeacher Does the order of single words always have to be reversed to make sense in tlhIngan Hol? Meaning I should also change qul jev to jev qul. I'm going to have to watch your video uploads :]
@Hodgy 'e' wItIvmo'! {Because we enjoy it!} I actually started studying Klingon before I'd even watched an episode of Star Trek, because I enjoy languages, and constructed languages in particular. I already speak three "real" languages and am working on my fourth (and Quvar knows even more), but Klingon is a fun hobby, like doing crossword puzzles or collecting stamps. Also, the social aspect is not to be underestimated; interacting with other klingonists is a LOT of fun!
Seriously, i love your videos ! It's very interessing and it's a good series to learnd Klingon ! I love it, continue like that you will be famous *^* Qapla'
Because it can be fun. And because they actually do have conventions where everyone speaks Klingon together. A lot of people learn it just to roleplay or cosplay a convincing Klingon at sci-fi conventions. Also, it can be really interesting to see how a language developed the way Klingon did.
My girlfriend and I watched this video to learn Klingon for fun, we're not really Trekkies, I'm more of a Star Wars guy and she's a Harry Potter fan girl. So to those saying this is stupid don't watch this you buzz killers!
@matt6517 I'm not a Star trek fans, just a linguist and a general fan of conlangs. Learning Klingon interests me simply because I like learning linguistic mechanics. If you want to learn a 'meaningful' ;anguage, learn Ithkuil. Good luck.
Very good Video. I feel like a Klingon Beginner-Pro now :) But i didnt quite get how to welcome some1 when there aint a word like "Hello" What does "Welcome" oder "Good Day" mean?
@Vetarra: The suit is mandatory for me, as a teaching Klingon at Starfleet Academy. My students wouldn't consider me serious if I'd be teaching in my warrior's uniform. ;-)
Thanks for that nice hint on learning "real" languages. Klingon is not the only language that I speak. How many do you speak? En plus, je parle en totale presque dix langues. E possible que yo no hablo todos los lenguajes que yo hablo perfet, pero me gustan muchas las idiomas. En als ge denkt dat het hiermee gedaan is, kan ik u nog veel meer vertellen. Sadece biraz türkce konusyorum, am ögrenmek istiyorum. Ana baHib al lughatil arrabiya. Shukran.
Ironic that Star Trek Online is still running yet Infinite Space was going to be pretty epic. It had backing from the Okuda's. John Van Citters was almost backing IS more than STO once upon a time as well.
Para aprender una lengua, debemos practicar con gentes que la hablan. Entonces, como podemos practicar el Klingon ya que nadie tiene esta lengua como lengua corriente?
Novitatis Veritatis When I mentioned that the the closest thing the Klingon language had to a greeting was nuqneH, what do you want, to the girl I was interested in, she was all over me. Of course, she is just as big of a dork as I am so I guess that would make sense.
You cannot say "always", but with adjectives, the word order is important indeed, because they can also be verbs. {jev} is a verb, by the way, meaning "to storm", when it's raining very strongly. {jev qul} means "the fire is storming" (it's raining fire?). Turning a round makes not much sense, "He storms the fire." If jev were a noun, then {qul jev} means "storm of fire".
Fun fact: If KlingonTeacher wants to discuss something with a friend and doesn't want anyone else to know and he knows that friend knows Klingon, they can speak Klingon without anyone else knowing what they're saying. My friends and I are learning Klingon for that purpose. Therefore the Klingon language is, in fact, useful. It is also fun to know something from a favorite show. Because it is both fun and useful it is not "wasting time" and since it has a real modern use it is not just fantasy.
This guy is awesome, and I'm glad I live in a world where this exists. Qapla! I finally know what it means.
I don't know why people insult this guy. I mean, it's probably a weird language and manmade, but there's a lot of people speaking it all over the world, and if they're happy, then leave then alone.
Thank you, VicPic. I have fun with what I'm doing, just like others have fun insulting things they don't understand.

VicPic SuperBird I know it's a fictional language, but Star Trek's fan base is so large that there are more speakers of Klingonese than there are for a not-insignificant number of 'real' languages.
Jesse Faulk Yes, but there's a difference between languages which arose naturally and languages which were deliberately constructed.
I gave my wife a near heart attack when I yelled Qapla' as she got up to go brush her teeth. She gave me a WTF look and I yelled it out again even more intensely 😂😂😂
You sound like a wonderful and fun hug. Surprise her with a horse Klingon

i think its cool that someone can speak klingon.
A lot of people speak Klingon
Natalie Gardner true that.
Besides that Klingon guy over there, you mean?
A lot of people speak bits and pieces but not very many people are completely fluent. It actually is a Duolingo language tho

@GJSmith84 - pay attention to the word order: {qIj Hov} means "the star is black". Turning it around to {Hov qIj} makes it to "Black star".
This is the best Klingon impression of Christopher Walken I ever seen... or the best Christopher Walken impression of a Klingon I ever seen.
Actually cool. First well-dressed, well-mannered cilivilized klingon ever... This is what we get when we put Son of Mogh to work in the Federation ship. Next thing klingons will be drinking Earl Grey tea and comparing nice colors of their handbags and bat'leths.

I love this language, it's so popular that they teach it in some collages
I am working on a school project about the Klingon language right now and your videos have really helped me out. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic! My kids are 5 and 7 and we learned our first Klingon words from you. Thanks so much!!!
You’re doing awesome man don’t listen to people hating you as in klingon i wish your TH-cam channel a Qapla’

A homage to the Klingons we all know and love. Crazy to think they’re completely fictional and yet, here we are!
@KlingonTeacher Does the order of single words always have to be reversed to make sense in tlhIngan Hol? Meaning I should also change qul jev to jev qul. I'm going to have to watch your video uploads :]
I did get ahold of Silent Night lyrics in Klingon. Often requested, even a long ways from Christmas.
Qapla'! This is so fun, I want to learn Klingon, ST is an amazing serie :3
Thanks for do that, about the classes.
You say Qapla', I say hello. Hello hello? I don't know why you say Qapla', I say hello.

So, how many languages did you use there?
Love you guy. This language opened my mind how language can be so different :v
+Khánh Nguyễn Minh Yeah, in MAKEBELIEVE
I love how he teaches the words an the pronouncing! Really good job and great video!!! Bring more of this stuff, please.
I love the idea of a Klingon inductor in a suit and tie. Feels like a touch of high society.
I like your style, dude :) Suit, tie, crash course teacher-like attitude... very nice indeed :D
Just saw a little word missing, sadly there's no edit function, therefor I ask you to read a little "do" between the "would" and "something".
@matt6517
I'm not a Star trek fans, just a linguist and a general fan of conlangs. Learning Klingon interests me simply because I like learning linguistic mechanics.
If you want to learn a 'meaningful' ;anguage, learn Ithkuil. Good luck.
Very good Video. I feel like a Klingon Beginner-Pro now :)
But i didnt quite get how to welcome some1 when there aint a word like "Hello"

Thanks so much for this!!! I love it! Is there any way you can make this an mp3 download???
I agree, the first lesson was great..... We want more! :-)

I'm never going to get laid.
Novitatis Veritatis When I mentioned that the the closest thing the Klingon language had to a greeting was nuqneH, what do you want, to the girl I was interested in, she was all over me. Of course, she is just as big of a dork as I am so I guess that would make sense.
Preston Jones Your Pagh must be very strong.
Novitatis Veritatis Qapla'!

petaQ! Pagh is a Bajoran thing. Klingons are nowhere near as soft as them!
I love you bro! Keep being awesome
You cannot say "always", but with adjectives, the word order is important indeed, because they can also be verbs.
{jev} is a verb, by the way, meaning "to storm", when it's raining very strongly. {jev qul} means "the fire is storming" (it's raining fire?). Turning a round makes not much sense, "He storms the fire."
If jev were a noun, then {qul jev} means "storm of fire".
Fun fact: If KlingonTeacher wants to discuss something with a friend and doesn't want anyone else to know and he knows that friend knows Klingon, they can speak Klingon without anyone else knowing what they're saying. My friends and I are learning Klingon for that purpose. Therefore the Klingon language is, in fact, useful. It is also fun to know something from a favorite show. Because it is both fun and useful it is not "wasting time" and since it has a real modern use it is not just fantasy.
Qapla! I learned something today.
NuqneH
I didn't watch a single episode of Star Trek but i already liked the language
