Ah. What you wrote was something like: "sentence number one latin
has. sentence number one English has." Lets work through to what
you need to write.
"latin sentence" - *Latin* Hol mu'tlhegh
(lit: sentence of the Latin language)
"have" - ghaj
subject -> I
verb -> have
object - > latin sentence
The verb needs the correct prefix for the subject and object: The
prefix for "I -- it" is {vI-}, giving {vIghaj}.
Remembering OVS order:
*Latin* Hol mu'tlhegh vIghaj
(The word "I" is left out, because it's obvious from the prefix)
Now you do the same for "I need the English sentence."

urbem - veng rur?

SKI: Qov doesn't know any Latin but enjoys guessing what this
sentence means, and hopes someone will enlighten her.
