I'm reminded of the Sherrif of Rottingham's tendency to befuddle his
English sentences when he's very excited: "Forest kill in deer illegal
it crime is!!!"
Seriously, though. "Have a nice day." First I'd ask, what does the
concept of a "good day," as we know it, mean to a Klingon? Kill an
enemy in battle? {DaHjaj jagh DaHoH 'e' vItul}, perhaps?
If you just want something literal, well, I might suggest: {jaj QaQ
yIghaj}. The "adjective" verb follows the noun it modifies (TKD 4.4).
I don't know why you compounded {jaj} and {net}, unless it was a
typo. Bit since we know this is a rediculous thing for a Klingon to
say, I won't even suggest it.
