I've been trying to think up a good way to say something like "What do you
think about this [information]?"
Well, I'm not satisfied with my results, they just seem to end up in strange
backward sentences. - The best one I've come up with so far is:
De'vam DabuStaHvIS, nuq DaQub?
or
DalaDtaHvIS, nuq DaQub?
It's alright I guess.. But how do I say something like
"Explain what you are thinking [about this]!"

"Cause my little story to be right." yIyajbe'. nuq Dajatlh, DaneH?

/maHvatlh, jImIS.
