Well, this would have me at a loss as well. It looks like when your friend
typed it, they forgot a space between <qaS> and <wanI'>. If you put that
back in, you get
naDev qaS wanI' ramqu'
"very trivial events occur here"
...which I beleive I have sometimes seen to mean "Nothing is going on".

This looks to be a pretty straight-forward translatio: "How do I place this
thing?". <chay'> is a question word, meaning "how", so it makes the whole
sentence a question.
If this is the translation you got, and you didn't understand it in the
context in which it was given to you, I cannot help you further without
seeing the rest of the converations.
If this isn't the translation you got, then you need to show me what you
saw, and how you got it, so I can "see" how you are thinking. :)

Klingon speakers do show up in the oddest of places...
I live in a small, historic, semi-rural community several miles west of
Toledo, Ohio. When I moved out here, I was diligently looking for another
Klingonist in the area--mainly in the Toledo area, as it is the closest
majour city.
By dumb luck, I found one right here in town... I never would have guessed...
