Hello mIyqa'. As you put KLBC in your subject it looks like you know who I
am and how this list works. So I'll be direct.

Not bad. It actually reads: "The game is popular do you want to play?"
Here's how to say what you wanted:
"A popular game" is {Quj Qat}: a verb acting as an adjective follows the noun.
The verb {Quj} has an object, the other {Quj}, so you must use the you-it
prefix, {Da-}.
And never forget to capitalize D.
Quj Qat DaQuj DaneH'a'? == Do you want to play a popular game?

I haven't checked these. Why not look them over again for similar errors
and post a few.
