ghItlh Qov:
>> To say "ready" in Klingon you must say what you are ready to do.
bItaghrup'a'? bItaHrup'a'? bImevrup'a'? bIHeghrup'a'?<<
ghItlh Voragh:
>> Though the pun would be lost in Klingon, -beH "ready, set up" (referring
to the computer) could be nicely contrasted with -rup (referring to the
person using the computer). Other ways to say "ready" are ghuH "prepare for"
(i.e. get ready) and the exclamations 'eH, SuH or Su' "Ready! Stand(ing) by!"

verengan Suy: ghobe' - jIHeghvIp
Ferengi: Nope, I'm afraid to die.
tlhIngan: vaj qaHoHnISqu' - qaHoHrupchu'
Klingon: In that case I really need to kill you. I am perfectly ready to kill
you.
