Pity. I was hoping there would be an airport/customs scene - there often is in most conversational foreign language phrase books - to supplement the exchange in "Conversational Klingon":
Are you a Terran?
tera'ngan SoH'a'?
Yes, I'm a Terran.
HIja', tera'ngan jIH.
Are you vacationing on Kronos?
Qo'noSDaq bIghIQ'a'?
Yes, I'm vacationing on Kronos.
HIja', Qo'noSDaq jIghIQ.
Do you know anyone here?
naDev vay' DaSov'a'?
No, I don't know anyone here.
ghobe', naDev vay' vISovbe'.
Are you transporting tribbles?
yIHmey DaHIj'a'?
No, I'm not transporting tribbles.
ghobe', yIHmey vIHIjbe'.
