This really doesn't work. Let's see . . .
The word {yu'} is a verb. It is not a noun. No amount of wishing will make
it a noun. You must find a way to say it using the verb.
I honestly don't know what you mean by "jang'Ma." It's not anything. Also,
you've got no prefixes on anything. Do you want me to give you my version of
this? Here it comes:
chaH DajangmeH tIyu'.
In order to answer them, question them.
This is a purpose clause, {chaH DajangmeH} "in order that you answer them,"
and the main sentence, {tIyu'} "question them!"
