Out of all the fictional languages I know, Ive never been able to work Klingon out...
So, for example, you would get "qaleghta' je DujwI'," or "I saw you and your ship."
I don't know if you actually HAVE a ship, but I'm just using one as an example.
The verb for love is "bang." thus, "I love you" is "qabang." I'm not making this up.
Send me a note if you want me to teach you the naughty words.
