OFFICE MEMO Questions about questions... Date:1/14/94
bIjatlhneS:
Using my limited vocabulary (ie, the sentences Marc O. has pre-made
in TKD), I've noticed it's very hard for me NOT to inflect when I ask
a question.... For example:
bIyaj'a'
Very simple, but my tendency as an English speaker is to inflect up
at the end since it's a question (Do you understand?).
Now the question is... would that be proper? Or do Klingons speak in
a monotone with no inflections. Any suggestions/thoughts/concepts?
Qapla'!
