a quick question

I am writing a story where one of my characters will need to ask for 
permission to speak.  I was listening to the section in PK which deals with 
using "neS."  I thought the following is what I heard for "permit me to 
explain my mistake, your honor" - QaghwIj vIQIj 'e' yIchaw'neS.  Does that 
mean that "permit me to speak" would be jIjatlh 'e' yIchaw'?  Can I make this 
into an interrogative sentence?  For example, Do I have your permission to 
speak?  jIjatlh 'e' Dachaw''a'?  

Satlho'
