[Tlhingan-hol] KLBC: my first Klingon sentence

[chransberry@gmail.com]

Yay! And I finally got around to disabling the stupid autocorrect, so my life should be a little easier now, even if I occasionally have to type more letters.  It really is only useful to monoglots... but enough with that rant.

I'll try not to have a big head over my successful sentence; I'm bound to make plenty of mistakes in time!

This is my first attempt at learning a more "naturalistic" conlang; I speak Esperanto, toki pona, and some basic Lojban, all which are designed to be regular and easy to learn, so this is a new adventure for me! But these previous ones have given me the reputation as "the one who speaks made-up languages" [sic], so I've got nothing to lose! :-D

And congratulations, 'arHa, on your promotion to BG!

Pardon my verbosity,

Qapla'! Looks great! And, an honorable undertaking!

You have successfully managed several things that generally trip up people
who are just starting, namely: capitalization, including the apostrophies
as a necessary letter, and word order! Good work.
