jIyaj 'ach jIyajchu'be'. vutba' ghaH. 'ach patlhDaj vISovchu'be'.

She's a chef. She's a major chef ({vutwI''a'}). But you think you
might describe her as a minor head chef ({vutwI' quv} + {-Hom} =
{vutwI'Hom quv}). So... assistant head chef? I'm not familiar enough
with kitchen staff {qutluch patlh} to understand clearly what you
mean.

{juH vIchegh} 'e' vImaS. There's some contradiction in the canon about
how to specify the destination of {chegh}. But this was clarified in
this email:
http://klingonska.org/canon/1999-07-19b-email.txt

{juHDaq jIchegh} is ambiguous and can mean either "I return home" or
"I return at home (I return somewhere, while inside my house)".

jIyajlaw'. I think you're making a joke about being a "homemaker". I
was confused at first, because I wasn't sure if *{juH jIvum} mean you
work at home ({juHDaq jIvum) or you work on homes (making houses), so
when I read {juH chenmoHwI'} I thought you were confirming the latter,
until I saw the smiley.
