Here's what I have attempted to say:
Twenty-four days ago, I returned home from California. I greatly
enjoyed my vacation, and I want to vacation there again soon.
Before we went to the concert, my friend and I saw the animals at the
San Diego Zoo. We saw animals which resemble tika cats. We also saw
birds of prey. This zoo protects these Earth animals, and we certainly
enjoyed this destination.
The concert was great. A large choir accompanied the musicians. We
also heard five soloists (three men and two women), and while they sang,
the audience was touched by the music. Philip Glass also attended the
concert. As soon as the concert ended, the composer and the musicians
received great applause.
The concert occured at Costa Mesa, not Santa Monica. Set fire on the
side when there is danger!
Success!

ps. I considered using <much>, but I prefer <QoQ wanI'>. I believe that
this word pair matches the idea perfectly.
******************************************************************
I hit a few issues while working on this message:
1. I'm still a little unclear on the use of type 7 verb suffixes <-pu'>
and <-ta'>. I understand that they imply that a task is completed. But
if you are relating events, and you have explicitly stated that the
events were in the past, is it still necessary to use these suffixes?
It seems to me that in relating any past event, every verb should at
least have the <-pu'> suffix.
2. When making animal words plural, is it appropriate to add <-pu'> or
<-mey>? I've used <-pu'>, based on TKD pg. 22: "This suffix can be used
to indicate plurality for Klingons, ... , but not for lower animals of
any kind, ..." I'm assuming that my use of <-pu'> for large birds and
large cats would be appropriate, since these animals seem to be "capable
of using language," as far as I understand.
3. I have used <cha'maH loS Hu'> to indicate when this happened. I've
seen this used before, but it doesn't seem to be a legal part of the
sentence, since it is not a clause, it's not an adverbial, and it can't
stand on its own as a sentence. Is there a rule I can use to justify
the use of this?
Thanks,
quS'a'Qob
