Hu'tegh! nuq ja' Heidi Wessman jay'?
=If one were to say....
= Que sera, sera
Hilariously enough, I was looking over Hamlet last night, and something
quite similar to Que sera, sera came up in the text.
=qaSbej nuq qaS
No. This means: It will certainly happen. What gets happened?
=nuq qaS qaSbej
What gets happened? It certainly happens.
nuq asks questions in Klingon; what in "whatever will be" isn't asking a
question; instead, it corresponds to "anything". If you plug in "anything":
the phrase becomes "anything that will happen, will happen": qaSbej qaSbogh
vay'. Or, as I did it in Hamlet: qaSbej qaSwI'.
