Often, I come across the need to say the word "ridiculous", but unfortunately this word doesn't exist in klingon.

The only word we have is {nuS} (v) "to ridicule". Is it possible, through the use of suffixes or by any other way, to produce the word "ridiculous", from {nuS} ?

I would be more likely to invoke Dogh or lI'be' or something like that.

I suppose you could say something like DujlIj vInuS I ridicule your ship, but why are you informing the listener about your ridicule rather than actually doing the ridiculing?

My wife uses the word ridiculous so vaguely and frequently that I can never tell whether she's saying something is good or bad. "That price was ridiculous!" is something she might say, and I can't tell if she means the thing was surprisingly cheap or insanely expensive. Exactly what meaning of ridiculous are you looking for? Use it in context.
