> 1. In my question I have to write cholugh soH, or it is correct?
{cholugh SoH} means "You be correct me." This is not what you mean. You want
to say, "Correct me." This would be {HIlughmoH}. First, the {HI-} makes it a
command. Then, {-moH} shows that you are CAUSING me to be correct. See TKD
4.2.4.
> 2. soH Iv' HISovmoH = let me know who are you
This is starting to look like a sentence as object without its {'e'}, but it's
more like a question-as-object. We don't know if you can do that, and I stay
far away from them.
Besides, why are you commanding such a thing? You've got a question, so ask
it.
SoH 'Iv?
(or {'Iv SoH})
> 3. soH Iv' HIja'moH = tell me who are you
This says, "Make me tell, 'Who are you?'" This doesn't work. Again, just say
{SoH 'Iv}. If that's not enough, you could always say, {yIngu''egh} "Identify
yourself!"
> 4. DaH naDevvo' HIjaH soH = get out now!
Why'd you use {HI-}? That means the object is "me."
DaH naDevvo' yIjaH!
Actually, there are lots of ways to say this!
