Ok, but I'd prefer a topic that I'm less ignorant about.
Urianians probably will be more specific: "Brigam di vikte." (I
invite you to dance. = Invite-1s 2s.acc dance-inf) Or less direct:
"Birut vikta mu izni?" (Would you go to the dance at my side? =
go-2s.pres.subj dance[n.]-acc.sg 1s.dat alongside-inst.sg)
Pronounciation note: m mutates to n before d.
Or maybe they would phrase it completely differently, at least the
more experienced flirters of them.
Gaajans were more direct and less specific: "Ane iltat?" (Will you go
with me? = go-with interr-you-do-to-me)

Not to the list, I suppose.
