in most cases better Klingon to leave them out.

Reread section 5.3. /je/ follows both/all nouns it connects.
Reread section 3.3.4. The correct "your" possessive for a friend,
presumably a person, is /-lI'/.
Have another look at the prefix table. Subject "I" - object "you
(pl)" is /Sa-/ not /tu-/. Looks like you read the table backwards.
You don't get all this stuff the firt time you read TKD, but
repitition and having mistakes corrected hammers it in.

you do that incessantly.
