hahaha. You"re right..

So, as I understand, if I write {jISopnISmo' jIDIl} "because I needed to eat I paid", it is correct. Right ?

Not necessarily. {DaHjaj DIl 'Iv} "Who is paying tonight" makes sense clearly.

Couldn't though the {DaHjaj DIl 'Iv} actually mean "Who is paying tonight for it" ?

Yes, true. But that's the problem of the English translation, not the Klingon. Remember the canon example {DaH yIDIl} "Pay now." - this could also be translated as "Pay for it now", but what's the difference?

And litereally, you may even read "Who pays for the today?"
