Góquim Sentences

I liked these sentences, because I could turn them into Rihana-ye with
only one invented word (garden) and one invented construction (for
simple).

1. Three birds are flying.
Dy tafa-fe ralevejo-mi.

2. Goquim is a simple language.
Gokimu gu levado-si-ji fivaroha.
Goquim quickly learned-is-can language.

3. *Ligana-me fugefe fugeli tiga-fe.

4. I am learning Goquim.
Seba Gokimu levado-mi.

5. My name is Nikil Sinha.
Seba-ye sevaroha Nikilu Sinaha.

6. Where is the book?
Helehana-me wewavaroha-hi?
Whatplace-in book-query?
Note: This is an example of my recent tendency to use verb suffixes
such as "hi" independently of verbs.

7. You are coming with me.
Feba seba-fe vejo-mi.
You me-with coming.

8. Are you coming with me?
Feba seba-fe vejo-mi-hi?

9. What is the name of that city?
Heleha vese fibasa-ye sevaroha-hi?

Another word order might be:

That city-of name what-query?
