I've occasionally joked that the proper idiomatic translation of the Klingon standard "Hello" greeting is closer to "What the f*** do you want?" than anything else...
I recall hearing the closest translators could get to "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?" was "Inform me immediately how to get to Sesame Street"...
Yeah, tlHingan Hol (if I've spelt that correctly) is long on imperatives, short on politeness. Much like the people who speak it.
