Common mistakes

QeH ghaH turns anger into an identity noun instead of saying that someone is angry.
IncorrectCorrect
QeH ghaH. QeH.

Similar words

Be angry

verb
emotions
neutral
To be angry or mad, describing a person's emotional state rather than an action done to someone else.

Usage

Use the intransitive verb QeH for being angry, with a subject prefix when needed, as in jIQeH or bIQeH. Add -moH when someone or something causes the anger.

Examples

  • qatlh QeH?
    Why is he angry?
  • maDo'chugh QeHchoH wa'.
    If we are lucky, one will become angry.
  • loDnI'wI', bIQeHba'.

  • pa' QeHHa'choH qotar veqlargh je.
    There Kotar and Fek'lhr ceased being angry.

Common mistakes

muQeH wrongly gives the stative verb a direct object when the intended meaning is that someone makes me angry.
IncorrectCorrect
muQeH. muQeHmoH.

Similar words

Usage

Let grammar separate the noun from the verb. The noun takes possessive suffixes and acts as a subject or object, while the verb carries subject prefixes and describes a state.

Common mistakes

QeH ghaH mistakes the noun for a state predicate, while muQeH omits the causative suffix needed for making someone angry.
