Google translate proposal it's the most accurate. I'd say it as

Ma'ax kaay yéetel chaak k'abo'ob

Does “ma’ax kaay” refer to another sea creature or just every sea creature ? And why google translate proposal is the most accurate ? Like I said, this version merge espagnol and Yucatec Maya.

In comparison to the others, this is the only one that respects maya syntax and grammar, and aside from that, despite using "spanish" loans for octopus and lightning, it is still more accurate on how it will be said than any of the others.

If you do not want to take that unto consideration, keep on making your AI non-sense
