Can I chase someone for a good reason too ? Or is it neutral, and the reason of the chase defines whether it is used for good, or bad ? It's neutral. You can chase your dreams. Children can chase each other when they play. You can drink a chaser to chase down hard alcohol. My parents' boat is named Chasing Rainbows. Klingon tlha' doesn't seem to have any positive or negative connotations to it. In English, chase is something you actively do, while follow could be active or passive (you're being led behind something or someone). So far as we know, Klingon tlha' broadly covers both chase and follow. --
