Frasi di esempio
- This verb literally means "chew." In its slang sense, it is found in such constructions as choyIv ("You bother me"---literally, "You chew me"; cho-, "You [do something to] me") or muyIv romuluS Ha'DIbaH ("The Romulan dog irks me"; literally, "The Romulan animal chews me," where "Romulan animal" is a derogatory way to refer to a Romulan; mu-, "He/she [does something to] me"; romuluS, "Romulus"; Ha'DIbaH, "animal"). The subject of yIv can be only a person or creature, not an inanimate object or a situation. Thus, it is inappropriate to say something like muyIv 'Iw HIq bIr ("cold bloodwine chews me"; 'Iw HIq, "bloodwine"; bIr, "be cold"). Standard ways to express the same idea are nuQ ("annoy, bother") and berghmoH ("irritate"). [KGT p.164]
Note d'uso
muyIv yaS the officer irks me; person/creature is subj.
