You should post this as KLBC!

look on other posts how to use the quotation marks!
{this is for tlhIngan Hol}

{'e' vIHar} can only be used after a sentence as object (SAO) construction.
look on this list's FAQ about names, thru the KLI - Website www.kli.org
> DaH qaja' 'e' vIHar {now I tell you I believe that} this is maj.
Here I can show your mistake: This is translated as:
"I believe that I tell you" [now I-you tell that I-it believe]
{maj} is only an exclamation, not a verb meening "be good". I say {maj} when
you did something really good, like shouting "bravo!"

Please do n o t mix Klingon and english! I might sound funny for beginners,
but it only confuses other people and looks just too weird. Imagine this:
"Bitte do niet melanger tlhIngan Hol"
> yIQuchlu'
If you want to say "be Happy", you don't need the {-lu'} suffix. I don't like
this with {yI-}...It sounds to much like an order, and by the way it is so
... un-klingon!
I would say this as {bIQuchjaj}. "May you be happy"

What is the KAG? Koninklijk Atheneum Genk? I don't think so!
