jatlh 'aDam:
> jalth SuStel(what is jalth?),
{jatlh} means "say."
> how can I say *do* in tlhIngan Hol?
Do what? Klingon uses verbs which English may sometimes use with a helper
word, "do." Don't try to translate word for word. Read The Klingon
Dictionary carefully and see how sentences are put together.
> bIchop jat
> bite your tongue...?
No, "your tongue" is {jatlIj}. Add the Type 4 noun suffix on it to show that
"you" are possessing it. "Bit your tongue" is a command, so you need an
imperative prefix on the verb (in this case, {yI-}).
jatlIj yIchop!
> how do I say "officer 'aDam"?
> 'aDam'utlh <-or-> yaS 'aDam...?
Titles and ranks seem to go after the name, so it would be {'aDam 'utlh} or
{'aDam yaS}.
