majQa', Jan Paul. A good start. I'm Qov, the list's Beginners' Grammarian
and official answerer of messages from newcomers and beginners. Put the
letters KLBC in the header of your message to make sure I see it. Post
scathing comments about my laziness if I don't respond quickly, as I'm
supposed to.
} Jan Paul jiH.
Always capitalize that {I}. Yes it's an extra sroke on the keyboard, but
it's hard to read without. I don't have a problem with {Jan Paul jIH} for a
form or introduction, and I usually use {Qov jIH}, but we haven't seen it in
canon. Some people argue that when I say {Qov jIH} I am specifying that I am
"a Qov" or "the Qov." Sounds good to me. :)
} chu´ jiH.
Have a look at the verb prefix chart on page 33. The {jIH} here is
optional, pronouns almost always are in Klingon, but the first person
singualr no object prefix is required. {jIchu'} "I am new."

majQa'. qar mu'tlheghlIj. Germany luDab tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI' law'. (You
might not know the word {Dab}, it means live in, reside at).
} wa´maH vagh DIS jIqan.
This one requires an idiom in Klingon. Say {wa'maH vagh ben jIboghpu'}.
You had no way of knowing that one. We found it out because Marc Okrand
explained it in a posting on the Microsoft Network.
