How would one translate:
"When in Rome do as the Romans do."
(Okay, let's use {romuluS} instead of Rome to make it more Trekkie :) )
I came up with:
{romuluSDaq romuluSnganpu' tIDa}
I have several questions:
1. Do you need {romuluSDaq _SoHtaHvIS_...}? Or is that extraneous?
2. Can you use {tI-} on {Da}? You are telling ONE person to act like
a GROUP of people. Or would I have to make Romulans singular, i.e.
{romuluSDaq [SoHtaHvIS] romuluSngan yIDa}
"When (you are) on Romulus, act like a Romulan!"
???
tuQaHneS!
