Welcome, Karmev. charghwI' 'utlh 'oH pongwIj'e'. I'm the acting 
Beginner's Grammarian (for the next three days). I'm standing in

You were doing great, right out to the last four letters. 
Replace "toh" with an apostrophe and you'd have obviously stated 
a lie, since you would have stated it in Klingon. I'd have to 
judge that in this case:

tlhoS tlhIngan Hol DajatlhlaHba'.

I don't know what resources you have, so I'll explain that if 
you only have TKD, that first word is an adverb meaning 
"almost". The rest, you should be able to figure out.

I look forward to more contributions from you.
