Careful! I don't think you intended this, but *quSDaq ba'* has the connotation of disparaging the listener. It's the Klingon equivalent of rolling your eyes and saying, "Well, duh!"
I surely did not intend this. But it's true that I wanted to point at something obvious. Just without rolling my eyes. So more like "That's obvious what you said" or "of course you're right". Actually, I didn't know (or remember) it was so negative. HIvqa' veqlargh. -- Lieven L.
