<tuQeHmoHpu'> is the same as <jIH tuQeHmoHpu'>, except that the <jIH> adds
just a little more emphasis. The main difference is the verb prefix: <cho->
means "You (singular) ... me", while <tu-> means "You (plural) ... me".
<cho-> is used when talking about a single "you", while <tu-> is used when
talking about more than one "you". If you have any friends from the southern
US, you have probably heard them use "y'all" for "you all" when talking
about a plural "you".

> nuq 'oH "the difference"?

The Klingon way of saying this is not "what is the difference", it's "how
are they different". <chay' pIm>.
