Well, I dunno if I'm qualified to "pass judgement", but . . .
\ tlhInganHol Dajatlh DaneH'a'
\ Would you like to speak Klingon?
Assuming you're speaking to one person, that's fine (although tlhIngan and Hol
are two separate words). If you're speaking to more than one person, then you
want { . . . bojatlh boneH'a'} instead.
\ HIjol
\ Beam me up.
Fine.
\ qama'pu' tISuqbe'
\ Take no prisoners. (Could this be clipped to qama'pu' Suqbe'?)
Probably. I personally tend to avoid Clipped Klingon, since it mostly exists
as a backfit to the first movie (and to a subtitle change in the third), but
leaving off imperative prefixes is a perfect case for clipping.
\ nuqDaq yuch Dapol
\ Where do you keep the chocolate?
Fine.
You happened to pick two phrases from the back of the book that are actually
correct. :)
