<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""> I'm asking because it's
pretty tempting to translate these sentences as:
nav vIghajbe', ghItlhwI' vIghajbe' je
I don't have a paper, I don't have a pen too
qovIjmey vIQejbe', ngavyaw'mey vIQejbe' je
I don't love small canine-like creatures, I don't like big ones too
The last two fse translations "sound" strange for some reason which I
can't quite understand. On the other hand, I don't "feel" anything
wrong with the klingon ones.</pre>

<p>In English, you would use <i>either</i> instead of <i>too</i>
when the sentence is negative. Klingon <b>je</b> does not care
whether the sentence is negative.<br>
