Yeah, but most of them are synonimes -- and that's Meyadhew, a language with a bit
undetailed grammar.not Long Wer my preferred. In LW I've to invent new words
when it comes to modern human world.

> Excuse me sir, where is the nearest toilet?
Aniya Nweb, úgad ta dagatep runuqaya?
{ aniya = polite form of aya, Nweb = male form of Nub = gold but also used for
"sire, lord" úgad = ú+gad 'is+where' dagatep = daga+tep = 'place (of) stool'
runuqaya = run+nuq+aya = 'little+distance+adj.suffix' }

> I am an antidisestablishmentarian*
Yú tepadanamyataya.
{ Yú = 'I am', tepadanamyataya = 'tepa+danamya+t+aya' =
"anti-+disestabilish+ment+adj.suffix" = 'te+pa+dana+mya+t+aya' =
"not+friend+deny+have+noun suff.+adj.suff." }
// well, as in Glish, there're also self-made monster words :)

> My hovercraft is full of eels
Tiwiyapetir enebew shamalenqud..
{ tiwiyapet = 'tiwiya+pet' = "ship (of) sky, air", enebew = 'en+neb+we' =
"passive affix+all, full+3s.male" = "is filled (by sy)", shamalenqud =
'shama+lenq+u+d' = "flash+fish+plur.+loc." locative because they're in the ship
now. }

Won leq Ingonyama ya Aman eq difede ua hiferen, nya naliwa ida fen etensafura mi inqefura sen.

{ won = "for when not for something but just for somebody done something", leq =
'love, like', Ingonyama = the creator element. Although all of her names have
male gender the name ingonyama (fire-mother) remained female. Cats have a word
for god, netyer, but it's not an absolute god but a god like christian angel.
ya = past tense marker. Part of the verb leq but because of the definite subject
it separates from the stem verb.
Aman (from the root AMW) = the World. eq (*not* equal to qe) = "that", difede =
'di+fe/ef+de' = "give+3s.fem.+perfect tense marker"= "gave (had given)". ua =
"one". hiferen = 'hi+fer+(e)n' = "son+her+acc. ending". nya = "so", naliwa =
"believe", ida = "who/whatever", fen = 'him (3s.acc.)', etensaqera =
'et+en+sa+fu+ra' = "not+passive affix+perish+3pl+future tense marker" = "(they)
shall not perish". mi = "but" inkefura = "(they) shall live", sen = "eternal,
eternity". }

> You're welcome to make cultural adjustments.
Sildeher won udzsemate nebshitun sandaya.
{Sildeher won doing sg = "that's a shining time for ..." = "you're welcome" (welcome is
'Sildeheryir' = "That' a shining time of our (two)"), udzsemate = 'udzsema+te'
= 'udzs+ma(en)+te' = "do+thing+2s" ="do things+2s", nebshitun = 'nebshi+t+u+n'
= "help+noun suff.+plur.+acc." = "helps", sandaya = 'sando+aya' =
"culture+adj.suff." culture = Mey. thando. th died out from LW in an early
period just after it became more than a dialect of Mey.In fact, cats never was
able to say th. and dh }

Nyah, how it looks like?
