@’arHa:
If in the future you have a question that you think is of basic or beginners' relevance, then please continue to use the KLBC tag. Otherwise, as you say, feel free not to do so so that no one feels obligated to wait. As we've all said, your Klingon capabilities are marvelous given that you have just begun! Keep it up! Qapla'!
Ok thanks a lot, I'll make sure to follow your recommendation, and keep on learning! :) @ghunchu'wI': Thanks, I'll make a good note of the {X-bogh N 'ej Y-bogh} construction for the future. Qapla' ! mughwI' 2016-10-01 3:06 GMT+02:00 Alan Anderson <qunchuy@alcaco.net>:

Looking at the TKD’s adjective section, I could see that all the examples only have 1 adjective per noun.
So what happens if you want to describe something which has several attributes within a sentence?
Klingon for the Galactic Traveler gives a clear answer to this question. In the section on visual arts and colors (page 82), it tells us that multiple adjectival verbs are not put on the same noun. The example of how to do this is {SuDbogh Dargh 'ej wovbogh} "the tea which is {SuD} and light" (describing yellow tea). If the attributes are all of the same importance, use the {X-bogh N 'ej Y-bogh} phrasing. If you think one of them is more part of the essential nature of what you are talking about, there shouldn't be a problem using that one in an adjectival way.
