Don't insert the subordinate clause between the main clause and its question word. Also, keep your indefinite subject consistent throughout. *tlhIngan Hol jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' /facepalm/ jatlhlu'?*
Cool, this is helpful. Would “tlhIngan Hol jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' X jatlhlu'” be a reasonable way to ask how to say X in Klingon? Is there a more concise/preferred way to do this?
Maybe *wejpuH*/charming (used only ironically)./
Ah, thanks; wejpuH could probably work nicely for many “facepalm” situations, although that particular question about a more concise/preferred way was in regards to “tlhIngan Hol jatlhlu'taHvIS chay' X jatlhlu'”.
Sorry. That's about as concise as you can get it in an isolated sentence. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
