I think this should have been
written: vIparHa'qu'mo' mu'tlheghlIj'e', vIlo' je. Also, I am not absolutely
sure,
but you may need to use the noun on both sides of this sentence.
In another post you mentioned that you used <yIv> because it was listed in
mu'HaqwI' as a slang word meaning to bother or annoy. If this is the case
and I
do not know because I do not have mu'HaqwI', then I see no problem with its
use here. Although it wasn't listed in TKD as a slang word, it might be found
elsewhere; possibly in KGT, since it is my understanding that a lot of slang
words are found there. Unfortunately, I do not have that either. The only
thing
I can see is that maybe you could have worded this as: "I hope that it
doesn't bother / annoy you that I use / used your sentence.", instead of "
Because I
use / used your sentence, I hope that I do not bother / annoy you."
Then again, your sentences may be perfectly fine just the way they are and I
could be wrong about the whole thing. I am sure that if I am, someone will
let
us both know soon enough. :)

lol you sound real sure of yourself tonight. Although the example you gave
sounds good in english, i was going more for the way a klingon might say it by
using the <vIparHa'qu'mo' ...>. You might be right about the placement of
mu'tlheghlIj too. I think someone told me this before and i messed up again. lol
someone told me that while learning a new language you make 5,000 mistakes.
maybe im trying to make them all real quick and get them over with. maybe i should
try real hard not to repeat the same ones then, to save time, huh? lol also i
think i remember someone else telling me something very similar to what you
did about needing to use the noun on both sides of the sentence, but i dont
think it was verified. looks like you are right. we have to wait and see what
others have to say. i appreciate your help and ideas though. :) i think im going
to mark this KLBC though, since i need to know for sure about the noun thingy
this time, to keep from making the same mistake over and over.
