For example:

   bangwI' SoH.
   You are my love (loved one/beloved)

   banglI' jIH.
   I am your love (loved one/beloved)

Hmm... you could even use that for the famous line from "Song of Songs", 
often inscribed on Jewish wedding rings and other romantic jewelry:

   *dodi li va-ani lo*
    my beloved is mine and I am his

Literally "my beloved is to me and I am to him".  The point is:  Translate 
*ideas* not specific nouns, verbs or formulas.  Yes, it's harder in Klingon 
than in more developed languages, but that's part of the fun.
