I had to modify the phrase to translate it into Gevey:
"I know that a person who I want will walk to my house with me"
Te secase evd galne cuu ten roup trhadane ta'tez zhec e gruugal te ok
Which is double the length of the English phrase.
te secase - I know
evd - that (dependant conjunction)
galne - person
cuu ten roup - towards my house
trhadane - walk
ta'tez - accompanying me
zhec e gruugal te ok - I want [the person] (relative clause)

Good exercise.
