Hey, M. I’ve taken the liberty of correcting a vowel for you, on the assumption you meant jIHagh (because *jeHagh doesn’t make any sense)

Your propose sentence doesn’t work, for several reasons.

First, the prefix jI- doesn’t take an object. As such, you won’t find it adorning any verb in a OVS sentence. That’s number one.

Second, Hagh means laugh, not laugh at, so even if you used the correct prefix (which I haven’t talked about yet), it still wouldn’t make sense to craft the sentence this way.

In Klingon you could say something like because of the waiter, I laugh which would be jabwI’mo’ jIHagh (and again, that’s using a suffix I haven’t talked about yet).

Or, depending on why you’re laughing at the waiter, you might pick a different word to describe what you’re doing, maybe something like I mock the waiter jabwI’ vIvaq (more prefixes and verbs you haven’t seen yet).

All of which brings up a very good rule to follow that I haven’t introduced yet: don’t try to translate things word for word, but focus instead on the underlying ideas. And when in doubt, recast the entire sentence.
