<p><b>jatlh</b> doesn't take the person spoken to as a direct
object, so you probably can't say <b>jatlhchuq.</b> One usually
says <b>ja'chuq,</b> which appears in the dictionary. It's not
entirely clear, though.</p>
<p><chay' tlhIngan Hol jatlhtaHvIS <i>facepalm</i> jatlhlu'></p>
<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>
<p><'e' ghel ghaH></p>
<p>Quotations can't be objects of anything but the verbs of saying <b>jatlh</b>
or <b>ja',</b> and then must use the special rule that omits <b>'e'.</b>
To say someone asked something, say it in two separate sentences:
someone asked; someone said... <b>ghelpu' ghaH; <tlhIngan Hol
jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' <i>facepalm</i> jatlhlu'?> jatlhpu'.</b>
This goes for <i>answering</i> as well: <b>jIjangpu'; jIjatlhpu'
<qabwIj vIweq>.</b> If <i>asked</i> and <i>answered</i>
aren't vital to what you're saying, you could just drop that part
and just say <i>someone said...</i><br>
