Re: Possessive pronouns

You should know this is not a greeting like "hello". It means literally
"What do you want?"
On can use it picking up the phone. 
Klingons don't say "hello", "goodbye", or "thanks". That's not being
unpolite, they just see it as a waste of time, and not necessary.
They just come and say what they want to say.

Good program.

I understand. It's difficult to start.
That's why I've set up the "contents" page there. 
With that, a beginner can at least find *something*
/wiki/index.php?contents

But there isn't much information yet, because it's still very young.
Best way to use it is just clicking around and read what you find :-)

Yea, songs are good to learn a language.

Yes, but it's a bit too fast to really understand, I guess.
I have done translation work, but I don't have the entire text here because
I'm not at home right now.
This is the refrain:

DaH maSuv chaq tugh maHegh
batlh maHeghmeH jagh DISuvchu'taH 
'ej yo'-yo'-yo' qIjDaq 
tlhIngan SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be'

Quvar.
