I was trying to use the only "to be" form I knew: in the same way that "tlhIngan
jIH" would be "I am a klingon," I thought that "vuDmeyraj nuq?" would be "What 
are your opinions?" Unless jIH and the other pronouns are also verbs...

>{DIjatlh} confuses me.  "Be honest, but we speak them 'I like it.'"

"Be honest, but say 'I like them'" vIjatlh vInIDpu'. lughbe'chu' moHaq. jI'oy'!

(yItu': "D'oh!" jImughlaHbe'meH <jI'oy'> jIjatlh.)
(yItu'taH: mu'tlheghvetlhDaq lugh'a' "-meH"?)
