Spoken forcefully, even in English, this is exactly how I would expect a
Klingon to react !! I imagine a sarcastic sneer across your face. In fact,
given all the Klingon passing through this list, this is one of the only
times that I felt that it was real Klingon being spoken (although I didn't
follow all the stuff passing about being Romulan spies recently ...)
This is perhaps a good thing for beginners like myself -- find forceful,
emphatic things to say which suit the language and learn with those rather
than try to translate english pleasantries like "nice to meet you" ...
