Here's a passage from page 40 of THE KLINGON DICTIONARY:
When the context is appropriate, verbs without a Type 7 suffix may be
translated by the English future tense (will), but the real feeling
of the Klingon is closer to English sentences such as We fly tomorrow
at dawn, where the present-tense verb refers to an event in the
future.
What exactly is the difference in feeling between "We fly tomorrow at
dawn" and "We will fly tomorrow at dawn"?
