If you wanted to say "It is not a thing which cannot be conquered", remember
that "thing" is still the object of the relative clause, (it is the thing
being conquered), and therefore goes at the beginning of the clause, and it
is also the head noun, and so takes the topic marker {-'e'}:
{Doch'e' charghlaHbe'bogh vay' 'oHbe'}
"It is not a thing that someone cannot conquer."
And you've got the right attitude... }}: )
