Sorry about that. I didn't respond to this one because it wasn't marked
KLBC, and between Philip and Voragh(?), it was pretty well-fielded.

No. As Voragh has pointed out, you simply say, {jIQoch} "I disagree", and
context will make it clear with whom you are disagreeing, and what about.

Philip's right: It would be {yIQochQo'!} "Do not disagree!"

{choQeHmoH} "You are making me angry!"

You could try :
{choraDlaHbe'. vIta'Qo'.} "You cannot force me. I refuse to do it."

{yIta'Qo'!} "Don't do it!" or simply {Qo'!} "NO! DON'T!"

There is no known Klingon noun for "question". For the idea of "I have a
question", use {jIghel} "I ask (a question)" or {jIghelnIS} "I must ask (a
question)."

Use "KLBC" in the subject line, and you'll have my undivided
attention. }}: )
