latlh De'/Additional Information

This exhortation is actually ambiguous, but both interpretations give insight into the Klingon way of thinking. The phrase could be advising one to take specific action to overcome sadness---that is, figure out exactly what the problem is and do something about it. On the other hand, for a Klingon, activity and vigor are associated with a sense of elation, while unhappiness is often connected to passivity or even laziness, character traits disdained by Klingons. Thus, the advice could be simply to do anything at all.

When a Klingon warrior dies or is killed, other Klingons may perform a ceremonial howl or yell as part of the Klingon death ritual. The eyes of the fallen Klingon are opened and others roar in a great crescendo. This yell is victorious in nature, rather than mournful and also serves to warn the other dead that a Klingon warrior is coming.
