What's the difference between "I live there" and {pa' jIyIn}? If you don't
like one of them, you should have the same problem with the other. You do
not seem to dislike the English phrase. Klingon is not Hebrew, nor is it
Chinese. Nor is it English, for that matter. :-)

Here's another of the rare cases where Klingon must use a noun to express
what an English verb means. Try {"Indiana"Daq 'oH juHwIj'e'}.
