The Klingon way for subordinates to ask a superior officer for orders<br>
is {chay' jura'?}, literally, "How do you (singular) command u=
s?"<br>
<br>
I like it because it's a perfect illustration of how noun-centric<br>
English is and how verb-centric Klingon is in comparison:<br>
English - "What are your _orders_?" [centred on the noun "or=
ders"]<br>
Klingon - "How do you _command_ us?" [centred on the verb "c=
ommand"]<br>
<br>
