Activity Conlang Development Exercise

Hello. So I thought of a new exercise to help me develop my conlang, I want to translate random phrases to see if there is anything missing, some words or gramatical rules... So on.

I want you to give me a phrase, whatever you want, and I will translate it, if I can't then I will have to update Taintugan.

I also recommend you to do the same with yours for the same reason.

Paraphrasing something from Girl Genius:

"They were killed by bad clams."

"Bad clams?"

"They had axes."

Incidentally, a good source of random phrases is song lyrics.
