In a message dated 97-10-01 22:15:52 EDT, Qov answers Termal-Naik:
<< }ghorlu'mo' puchpa', DaHjaj jIQeHqu'!! :((
Even when the subject of the verb is indefinite, indicated with {-lu'}, the
object still precedes the verb. {reH bang larghlu'} {puchpa' ghorlu'mo'}
chay' puchpa' ghor vay'? mupwI''a' lo''a'?

I like all the comments given above. In addition, I point out:
Klingon has two other words: {puch} and {Qapbe'}
{puch} is, of course, the commode or urinal or other toilet device and
{puchpa'} is the bathroom. Again, that is room. It appears Qov has noted
this and has asked if someone took a hammer ({mupwI'}) to the bathroom. She
has also accepted that the bathroom is "broken". Very good; very astute.
Now, in that I suspect, just guessing, that Tremal-Naik meant to say "the
toilet is out of order", I suggest {Qapbe' puch}.
