Alright. 2 corrections.

(1)

"Ban" is used for past tense while "Ba zan" @ the beginning is continuous tense e.g:

I didn't give him = Ban ba shi ba

I am not giving him = Ba zan ba shi ba

(2)

You omitted "give" which is also "ba"

Assessment: 65% grin
Hmmm! Nagode! *deos "chan" mean "there"*

Pls translate, stop shouting/ making noise
Erm.....lemme try my best wink

Shouting = ihu

Stop = "daina" (I know there must be other translations for this)

Stop shouting = ka/ki/Ku daina ihu (male/female/many resp.)

Yaya or ya(for short) = How

Jiki = body or health depending on the context.

Yaya jiki = how body?
