You attach it to the noun that is being possessed, etc.
DujwIj quS pe' - he cut the seat of my plane.
I own the plane. Sure, the tire is mine too; or maybe I borrowed that part.
Duj quSwIj pe' - he cut my seat of the plane.
The plane is not mine, but I'm claiming the seat.

Is it your klingon or your language? Hmm, or is it your skill of the
klingon language?
Also, the english "how" is used in multiple ways. I don't think the "how"
in "how good is your klingon" is the same as the /chay'/ "how".
chay' QaQ tlhIngan HollIj? jIqeqmo' QaQ.
"How is your klingon good?" "It's good because I practice."
tlhIngan Hol laHlIj yIDel.
"Describe your ability of the klingon language."
tlhIngan Hol DotlhlIj yIper.
"Label your status of the klingon language."
