This makes for a nice translation exercise. Here we go in
Cein.

     Naeg che urchen! Tuif ni che!

    /n@jg xe: Ur"xEn   tUjv ni: xe:/

naeg        che   urchen  tuif      ni  che
be:PRS:2SG  thou  orcish  hate:PRS  I   thou
'You are orcish! I hate you!'

Note that |tuif| 'hate' is in the simple present. The
progressive present would have been |Ney ni an teifidd che|.
