    “Barclay and Geordi on the Holodeck” is semantically equivalent to “Darmak and Jalaad on the Ocean”

        I have a similar one. But I ordered it on AliExpress, so the quality of the print and the material is so shitty I never wear it.

    I never understood the concept of their language.

    I need to know of the events to understand the language, but how do I learn the events without knowing the language? How do you teach a child this when they know no languages?

      Exactly the same way they taught Picard. That’s actually their kindergarten program they ran him through.

        No, because the universal translator was translating words to English, so he needed English as a base to learn the language. The he kinda guessed what the events were and somehow got them all right.

        It makes no sense. Then how do you describe things like technical details if all you’re doing is comparing situations to other situations in the past?

        It would be difficult because they don’t know who Darmak and Jalad are. What did they do at Tanagra? How do you explain what that means when that is the language?

        Theb, how do you explain technical details or say something “I’d like to order a milkshake” when every phrase is in reference to something else?

          Assume it was Darmok and Jalad ordering a milkshake. You take the kid to order a milkshake, point and say “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” and now they know. It’s the same way you teach language to anyone. Point to the picture of the zebra and say “zebra” over and over.
