We have a clear canon example for this in Star Trek Into Darkness:

Klingon:
{toH, Hey Humanpu'. qatlh DISaH?}
"Why should I care about a human killing humans?"

Uhura:
{potlhmo' batlh, vIqawba'.}
"Because you care about honor."

Okay, okay, Uhura is not a Klingon, but at least it's a canon example,
and the Klingon captain was not confused. And usually, Okrand only gives
wrong grammar when asked to do so. (cf. ST:VI)
