<p>It makes perfect sense to me, but to be on the safe side, you can use -DI' and -taHvIS to connect the sentences:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>{SuvtaHvIS tlhInganpu' Da!} - "They fight like Klingons!"<br>
</p>
<p>{vaj HeghtaHvIS tlhInganpu' Dajaj!} - "Then they can die like Klingons!"<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>{bangwI'vaD jIjatlhtaHvIS jIbIt.} - "I spoke nervously to my beloved."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>{jISupDI' jISoy'.} - "I jumped clumsily."<br>
</p>

<p>In paq'batlh, the author often uses {X-DI' Y} or {X-taHvIS Y} to express things like "They X:ed in a Y:ish way." where the English uses adverbs.</p>

</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>bIjatlhDI' bIval</p>
<p>"You speak wise words."</p>
