The Klingon way for subordinates to ask a superior officer for orders
is {chay' jura'?}, literally, "How do you (singular) command us?"

I like it because it's a perfect illustration of how noun-centric
English is and how verb-centric Klingon is in comparison:
English - "What are your _orders_?" [centred on the noun "orders"]
Klingon - "How do you _command_ us?" [centred on the verb "command"]
