Maybe you're thinking too hard. Remember, don't always trust
your brain. It has been handling English and works well with English
functions and grammar, so much to the point that those concepts are
deeply rooted into your thought processes. But all of a sudden, we're
talking about Klingon. It seems to me as tho you are concentrating too
hard on wanting the Klingon to BE the English. Concentrate more on the
fundamental meaning of "I disagree with you." It describes a conflict
between the speaker (1st person) and the one-being-spoken-to (2nd person).
Saying {maQoch}, altho it doesn't have that jigsaw puzzle, exactly fitting,
relationship, means the same thing.
If you want to be on the road to fluency (or at least have a good working
knowledge) of any language, you can't burden yourself with direct
translations; they don't work. Just try *thinking* in Klingon. You'll
find this is helpful for learning just about any foreign language.
