{HIvje''a' yuchghuHIq} means (the chocolate-baby-liquor of the big glass).
A big glass of chocolate-baby-liquor would be {yuchghuHIq HIvje''a'}.
Also note that {HIvje''a'} does not simply mean a big glass, but refers to
a glass which is larger or more important than a normal glass. It could
refer to a goblet or a chalice as well as an over-sized glass.
I'm guessing that you're trying to say "I'd like a big glass of chocolate
milk now." In English, the word "like" can mean "to wish to have, to want".
That meaning doesn't carry over into Klingon. It would be better to say:
DaH yuchghuHIq HIvje' tIn vItlhutlh vIneH.
