One could say that this sentence implies that yuch is intended as plural
here. Since plural markers are *never* required, this sentence is
equivalent to yuchmey parHa' tlhInganpu' - Klingons like chocolates.
Many different kinds of chocolates - dark, milk, semi-sweet, etc. Although,
raw unsugared chocolate is preferred, according to KGT.
