Notes

In Klingon, when one lives in a place or dwells in a place, he or she is thought of as "occupying" or "inhabiting" that place; not doing something at that location, but doing something to it (occupying it).

nuq DaDab
What do you inhabit? What do you dwell at?
Type: sentence - Source: ST.Klingon (7/1999)
latlh De'/Additional Information

The English translations of this are very awkward (from an English point of view) and don't get across the sense of the Klingon all that well.  The less literal "Where do you live?" is what is really being asked.

A common way to ask where someone lives.

Answers are likely to be brief and to the point:

Daqvam - this place

Daqvam vIDab - I live at this place

pa' vIDab - I live there
