If you see errors I would be happy to be corrected; I'm a learner... thank you What I was trying to say with each sentence was:
"I agree. I don't want to be learning Klingon for nothing."
*-meH* is a verb suffix; you can't put it on nouns. The English idiom /for nothing/ isn't something you can translate quite so easily; you have to turn it into a non-idiomatic idea first. I'm thinking *lI'be' tlhIngan Hol ghojtaHghachwIj vIneHbe'*/I don't want my ongoing learning of Klingon to be useless./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
