Indefinite sentences are also in english or German not a good style of
writing. There's a rule for administrative texts in german which are not
allowed to have more than 18 words or so.
There is a phrase which I use at mey lessons each toime to show that it
is possible in Klingon, but very difficult to understand:
tera' Holmey DIjatlhtaHvIS maH qechmey'e' law'qu' wavmeH 'ej muvqu'meH
