I would assume it meant "I really hate my room mate." More literally, "I
very much hate my room's one who lives." It's not the way I would have said
it, but to say my living room, I would have said "room where I live". Then
again, I doubt REAL Klingons HAVE living rooms, as opposed to bedrooms, since
all they need is one place to store their food and weapons with a cleared
spot on the floor to sleep.
For roomate, I would have said, "I very much hate the person who lives
at my home."
I PROMISE I will be writing in Klingon soon. Things at work are insane
right now, and home isn't much better.
