I'm still foggy about how to translate "to be" into Klingon.  Namely, I'm not
at all sure about negative constructions.  If someone has written about this
somewhere, I'd be very happy to receive a link rather than a complete reply
(the archive search function at kli.org is not working.)

Quch jIH "I am happy", Quchbe' "I am not happy"

Human SoH "you are a human", what is "you are not a human"?

Human ghaH loD'e' "the man is a human", what is "the man is not a human"?

quSDaq jIHtaH "I am on the chair", what is "I'm not on the chair"?

quSDaq ghaHtaH loD'e' "the man is on the chair", what is "the man is not on
the chair"?

What is "on the bed" - QongDaqDaq? (E.g. "I sit on the bed" QongDaqDaq jIba')

Thanks,
aa.
