Hi,
Many time when it comes up in conversation that I am learning to speak
tlhIngan Hol, the inevitable response is, "Say something in Klingon." I
thought the perfect reply would be, "What do you want me to say?", only
spoken in tlhIngan Hol. Can SuStel (and then others, of course) tell me if
my syntax is okay? I respond:
nuq jIjatlh DaneH, or "You want that I say what?"
Is this correct, close to correct, or am I totally off base?
Also note to SuStel: I've been practicing my "tlh" sound and it's sounding
better and better. Thanks for the coaching on the Talker. I've even
tackled trying to say "tlhutlh", which is beginning to sound fairly decent
when I say it.
batlh bIHeghjaj!
