<p>Oh please. What's simple in one language is not necessarily
simple in another. The very fact that we have multiple forms of
"sentence as object" shows that Klingon is perfectly comfortable
with multiple sentences. Canon like <b>'uSDaj chop; chev</b> for
<i>chew his arm off!</i> shows you don't even need a special
grammatical structure to do it. Every simile does this.<br>
<br>
COMBINING MULTIPLE SENTENCES IS <b>HOW</b> KLINGON DOES SIMPLE.</p>
<p>The problem you're having isn't that what you want should be
simple and it's not; it's that one language has a tool the other
doesn't and you miss it. How would you say <b>SuQomtaH</b> in
Standard American English (that's the newscaster variety)? (Hint:
SAE has no <i>y'all </i>or <i>youz</i>.) Can you say it as
simply as the Klingon? In Klingon, it's three syllables. In the
simplest and most precise SAE translation, not losing any meaning
or adding any ambiguity, I count twelve syllables.<br>
