It occurred to be yesterday that if someone asked me for advice and I wanted to say, "If I were you, I'd pay more and get the better widget," in Klingon, well, I can't. The "If I were you," part gets REALLY weird, no matter how I try to approach the problem.
I just have to skip that part and say something like, {Doch qaq vImaS. wagh'a'? ram!}
pItlh.
