>Where is the bathroom?
Pawa ^waju^dashlek-a?
(literally "where [is] the releasing-house?")
_dashlek_, "let go / release" is the usual polite term for excretion.
>Don't shoot! I'm a tourist!
Nyeng eze'nyih-neit! Nededh az!
(_nededh_ = wanderer ; _neit_ = murder)
Emphatic, with the redundancy of free _nyeng_ and bound _'nyih-_.
>I don't speak <language>.
Azoi'nyih-guvdhab ta'rokbeigalmki.
(or, if you're just beginning to take an intensive course in
Rokbeigalmki, you could use _aza_, in the present-immediate tense,
instead of _azoi_, for "i don't speak it now, but get back to me later")
