Okay, so with that being settled, and as I am a beginner myself at this,
something on the lines of, say: 

" Q'ISto'va ja'pu " would mean roughly "Q'ISto'va told us", right?

I'm using *Q'ISto'va* as my Klingonized name... seeing I can't be bothered
using my first name, the middle name is much more playful :)
