Indefinite sentences are also in english or German not a good style of 
writing. There's a rule for administrative texts in german which are not 
allowed to have more than 18 words or so.

There is a phrase which I use at mey lessons each toime to show that it 
is possible in Klingon, but very difficult to understand:

tera' Holmey DIjatlhtaHvIS maH qechmey'e' law'qu' wavmeH 'ej muvqu'meH
