Sherlock Holmes

“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”
“When have’eliminate you impossible - anything that remain - as unlikely as may-be - must-be truth.”
Vulcan Sunshine
“You Are My Sunshine,” in Vulcan and Standard
Tu yel-min t’nash-veh
t’Nash-veh goh yel-min
Tor du nash-veh kunli
Lu igen zhai-kur
Ri dungi fai-tor du
Uf mau ashau n’du
Sanu - ri nem-tor n’yel-min t’nash-veh
My friend Kap (t0b0ldlyg0) translated this song a while back, and I greatly wanted to sing it. :) I finally got around to recording it.
Apologies for the background noise… there’s an almost-constant rushing noise in my dorm room. -_-; Also, I’ve never studied Vulcan language before, so sorry if I’ve pronounced anything incorrectly!
Anyway, Dif-tor heh smusma, y’all~!
Illogical
Vesht dungi nam-tor ish maut riolozhikaik.
That would be highly illogical.
“Past will be that very illogical”
“Nam-tor u'sha'yut -- tanaf heh ek'tal teretuhr. Ri utvau is-lof ri nam-tor vah vaksurik - tor vak'es k'kla-min tsuri weh-yeht-dau.”
—Spock (from “Spock’s World”)
Translation: “It is our way - Art and Science combined. There is no reason that function should not be beautiful - in fact, beauty makes it more effective.”
So I translated "You Are My Sunshine" into Vulcan and I'm not sorry
Tu yel-min t’nash-veh
t’Nash-veh goh yel-min
Tor du nash-veh kunli
Lu igen zhai-kur
Ri dungi fai-tor du
Uf mau ashau n’du
Sanu - ri nem-tor n’yel-min t’nash-veh
And yes this is checked and corrected by T’Puhku who helps run the Vulcan Language blog.
A few of my friends have/want to sing this so LINK ME UP IF YOU DO LOVES~
Want to learn Vulcan?
Learn it with me!
Tonk’peh! My name is T’Sol. I’m currently undergoing the process of learning the Vulcan language. It’s a foregone conclusion that not many can speak/understand Vulcan and those that wish to may find it to be a tedious process. There are a few sites and blogs out there that help a lot with questions, but nothing I have found that really goes through the whole process step by step.
This is where my blog comes in. As a student in the language myself, I will post what I learn in weekly (and sometimes monthly) lessons that I go through in my Vulcan language book, including things on culture and other stuff. We can go through it together. If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it. Sochya eh dif.. :)
