Well, remember that the -vo' marker goes on the noun that would follow 'from'
in English. (naDevvo' yIghoS = Go away!) So you need Dochvetlhvo' jup law'
DaSuq. But are you really talking about 'that thing'? No - it's what I said.
And you are implying that I made friends because I said it, right? This is a
job for -mo'.
vIjatlhmo' jup law' DaSuq
Now - if you are sure of a verb's action, and you seem sure I made lots of
friends, use the verb suffix -chu', 'clearly, perfectly'. And since you are
perhaps being ironic (No! I make lots of friends!) -qoq could be put on jup.
vIjatlhmo' jupqoq law' DaSuqchu'
