I just got confronted with a question from a beginner, who wanted to express the idea of saying "It's about time for you to leave" and I could not think of a good way to express that in Klingon.
This expression (at least in German) is used when you observe something that has been annoying for a very long time, and nobody said anything or intervened, but then at some point, the thing gets so annoying that you say "It's time that somebody acts" or "We have reached a level where it's getting too much. It's time for this kid to go home."
I'm not sure my brain is just blocked; Maybe I'm overseeing some idiom.
Any suggestions, besides from the obvious {DaH yIvang}?
{mevyap!} is a good expression to use to express reaching the limits of one's tolerance. {mevyap! DaH bImejnIS!} might work for "It's about time for you to leave", depending on the circumstances. -- De'vID
