"We are serious."

Translation: maSagh.

[LeeGOgletree]

Is it acceptable to use, "maSagh maH." for emphasis?

[jdmcowan]

Yes, but let's be clear that it emphasizes the "We", not the "are serious." In other words it doesn't emphasize the fact that you might not think we are serious, but we really are. It emphasizes the fact that others might not be serious, but when it comes to us, we are the serious ones.
