Hi,
I need the translation of "Just Married" for a wedding of a friend of mine.
They are ST Fans and we want to write it o the back of the car Smiley

I could detail at length the reasons why "Just Married" doesn't translate well into Klingon. Foremost among them is the fact that there are two different verbs meaning marry -- Saw is what the groom does, and nay is what the bride does. But that wouldn't help you find something appropriate to write, so I won't go into a long discussion of handling time stamps, adjectival verbs, sentence fragments, or anything else.

Instead, I'll suggest a concise rIn tlhogh tay, literally the marriage ceremony is finished.

Oh, and you might want to find a way to use the toast 'IwlIj jachjaj! may your blood scream!. Smiley
