In Tunu I rather use "please + not_do" :

"poti (otiwa) he-eta-nge teme ome-ho"
=3D "prayer (is that) you-move-not touch at-me"

or
"poti (otowa) ho-eme-nge teme ota-he"
=3D "prayer (is that) me-referred-no touch move_of-you"

or else
"poti (otowa) teme-nge ota-he ome-ho"
=3D "prayer (is that) touch-no move_of-you at-me"

depending on the topic.

But I guess it's pretty standard a pattern.
