All this discussion has been about expressing "How many of you
understand me?".  But my take on the *situation* is that, while
the teacher does want to know in a rough proportional way *how
many* of the students have understood him, the response he is
trying to elicit is for each student who has understood to raise
his or her hand (or give some comparable signal -- in a Klingon
classroom it might be very different!).  So a *situational*
translation might be

     muyaj 'Iv?

P.S.: This document was dictated with DragonDictate v2.0, except
the Klingon words.  Net typing speed was 20 words per minute. 93%
of the words were recognized correctly.  4% were on the list of
alternate possibilities and were selectable with a single
command, 1% required me to spell at least one letter, and 1 was
new to DragonDictate.
