See below about <Huj be'>. I think the rest of it is supposed to be "fall in
love", but Klingon just doesn't work this way. To start with "fall in love"
is very much an English idiom which doesn't make sense in any other
language. Try again.

nuqjatlh?? I know something involves you and fire here, but I have no idea
what is going on.

You probably want <parmaqaywI' SoH> here.

maj.

<batlh> is not a verb, so you can't use it here. You can use <quv>, though.

Probably <banglI' jIH>.

I have no idea what you're going for here. <bang> is a noun, so <jIbang>
makes no sense. It's like saying "I computer" or "I beverage".

<banglI' jIH> again.

Well, the verb <Huj> should go after the noun <be'>, but that would mean
"strage woman", which I am pretty sure is not what you want. The closest
single word we have for "stranger" is <nov> - "alien", but I'm pretty sure
that's not what you want either. The literal translation of "female
stranger", is <be' vIqIHbe'bogh> - "woman I've not met".
