"He loved loves, good love. You love my life, and I love you," according to the first working translator I found. Which I presume means is an automangled version of "Love me, love the life I lead"?

Marc Okrand is the linguist who was hired to create the Klingon language for Star Trek VI. He created it without a verb "to be" (I'm not sure if that was just for fun, or a nod to Russian and the Klingons' history as a cold war enemy to the Federation). Star Trek VI, of course, is the origin of the "you have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon" line and Okrand said that literally the first question he was asked on the set was "how do you say 'To be, or not to be' in Klingon?" 😁

But you're partly excused. PF doesn't accept Klingon typesetting. I had to take pictures from my OO text.
