Yeah, but it gets really interesting when you try to say, “My ship is faster than your ship.”

Yes, I said that. "The only time the lack of a verb for be fast is a problem is when you want to compare speeds — nom leng travel fast doesn't fit into the Q of a comparative"

I mean, I like recasting things, but this feels worse than not having a question word for “which” and people whined about that for years. 

{Do qaD lujeSchugh DujlIj DujwIj je, Qapbej DujwIj!}

{ngoQmajDaq DujlIj Sum law’ DujwIj Sum puS ‘ach nom ghoSlaHqu’mo’ DujwIj, pawlaHpa’ DujlIj, pawta’ DujwIj, jay’!} [seems a little wordy for competitive banter]

{qIbDaq DujwIj nom ghoSlaHghach Doj law’ Hoch Doj puS!} [Han Solo would probably look askance at his Klingon translator after THAT translation, though one might argue that it does a decent job of getting to the core of the boast.]

I daresay we can do better than that.

DujwIj Do laH vItlh law' DujlIj Do laH vItlh puS My ship is faster than your ship (referring to potential speed).

DujwIj Do vItlh law' DujlIj Do vItlh puS My ship is faster than your ship (referring to current speed).

qIbDaq DujwIj Do laH vItlh law' Hoch vItlh puS My ship is the fastest in the galaxy (referring to potential speed).
