You haven't truly enjoyed Shakespeare until you've read it in the original Klingon

Do you mind sharing what they are and where you bought them from? I know someone who's absolutely crazy about Star Trek and I'd love to shock them with some phrases in basic Klingon.


Patuco, how did your friend react to hearing Klingon phrases? And which phrases did you choose?

I chose some easy phrases taken straight from the website:
"hello"
"what's happening"
"we are Klingons"
"today is a good day to die" (a classic)

I probably got the pronounciation wrong on just about all, but he was pretty shocked!
