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

pa' - there

naDev - here

qachvetlh - that building

Qo'noS - Kronos

It is possible, however, to respond with a full sentence:

Daqvam vIDab - I live at this place

pa' vIDab - I live there

naDev vIDab - I live here

qachvetlh vIDab  - I live in/at that building

Qo'noS vIDab - I live on Kronos
