This is a challenge for people who are at least starting to understand how
to use suffixes.
There are five Klingon suffixes that can be used on either nouns OR
verbs. One of them has the same meaning on both nouns and verbs. The
others have completely different meanings.
Use your TKD to find all five suffixes, and for each suffix, write a
sentence that uses it correctly on a noun and a verb. Translate
your sentences.
For example, one of the suffixes is {-'a'}. It makes a noun
represent something larger in concept, more impressive or more
significant than the base noun, and it makes a verb into a question.
My sentence with {-'a'} on both a noun and a verb is:
Qap'a' De'wI''a'? - Is the supercomputer working?
