I'm an officer on a ship, and we're discussing (i.e. me and the other officers), the captain's decision to traverse borg territory. I'm stating (rather intensely) my discomfort for that decision, because I believe it puts us in danger. So, another officer stands up and says "I've had it with your disagreements; why do you keep complaining for a decision already taken ?" And I reply by saying: The reason I'm "complaining" is that I believe the borg will assimilate us. End of story, and beginning of my problem: If I was to say the words in this scenario, my voice would change while I would be saying the word "complaining". It would change, in order to express that from my point of view, I don't see it as "complaining" but as a statement of the facts. And of course, if I was to write these words, I would place them in "" to express the same fact. But in klingon, how do I do it ? I can't use "", so what's the solution ? If instead of a verb, there was a noun, perhaps I could use -qoq; but what can I do when instead of a noun, there is a verb ? ~ m. qunen'oS may we all thank the Italians, for pizza and espresso
