I assume that you're trying to say "We don't like to fight." You've got the
words in the right order, but you're missing a bit. Notice two main verbs in
the second part? With this, you'll need a sentence-as-object construction.
{'e'}
Also, why bother negating a verb which is already negated? Instead of
{parHa'be'}, why not simply say {par}?
Finally, if you did indeed mean what I said above, you need the correct
"we-it" prefix, {wI-} and the correct "we, no object" prefix, {ma-}.
maSuv 'e' wIpar.
We don't like to fight.
