<p>Don't insert the subordinate clause between the main
clause and its question word. Also, keep your
indefinite subject consistent throughout. <b>tlhIngan
Hol jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' <i>facepalm</i> jatlhlu'?</b></p>
</div>

<div>Cool, this is helpful. Would “tlhIngan Hol
jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' X jatlhlu'” be a reasonable way to
ask how to say X in Klingon? Is there a more
concise/preferred way to do this?<br>
</div>

Maybe <b>wejpuH</b><i> charming (used only ironically).</i></div>
</blockquote>
<br>
<div>Ah, thanks; wejpuH could probably work nicely for many
“facepalm” situations, although that particular question about a
more concise/preferred way was in regards to “tlhIngan Hol
jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' X jatlhlu'”.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>Sorry. That's about as concise as you can get it in an isolated
sentence.<br>
