'ach.....
<terran word> chay' Dajatlh'a'
I saw this questions similar to "Como se dice <Ice Cream>?" Would one
need to add any reference to tlhIngan Hold if the question is asked *in
Klingon*? I was taught that it was redundant to ask "Como se dice <Ice
Cream> en Espanol?" Is the same true in Klingon?
Exploring the field:
Could one also say:
<terran word> chay' jatlhlu''a'
...indicating no particular subject, similar to the English
"How does one say..." as opposed to "How do I (or you) say..."?
