I'm not going to translate ghuy'cha' because I'd get in trouble with the admins, but will someone please tell me how to pronounce it? I couldn't find how to pronounce "uy" in TKD...

uy is pronounced just like it's spelled, as the u sound followed immediately by the y sound. Keep in mind that there are no diphthongs as such in Klingon, with y always being a consonant.

That said, most people end up saying uy a lot like the end of the word "gooey".
