And yet the Klingon lessons are “the men and women walk” and “Martok and Torg respect Kahless” and “the soldier repaired Mara’s robot”.

Maybe you’ve got to get farther into them to learn how to express your bloodlust?

  I know all the right words for “want” and “kill”, I’m just not advanced enough to be able to correctly say “I want to kill you”. Maybe “SoH HoH jIneH”? I have SO much to learn.

    Be our luck Duolingo would make us learn “SoH HoH jIneH’be” instead.

    I think there should not be a translation for that, because the sentiment would be “I will kill you”

    I figured it out. Based on the KLD, it would be “qaHoH jIneH”. It’s a special case.
