Simple. "Do you speak Klingon?"

Hmm. "I don't possess blame" === "It's not my fault"?
The second part is clear :)
But Klingon sentence structure being I-O-V-S (indirect object -
object - verb - subject), also the verb should take the basic
prefix "subject = I, object = him/her/hit" = "vI"
hence: "muttley vIpIch" ?
(Sorry, I'm not trying to be a smartass, just trying to get
a grip on the language.)
