ghItlh David. jatlh:
I'm having trouble understanding this, but I think you're saying, "Is
your toilet empty? If your toilet is not empty I will not clean your
bathroom!"
The first sentence is fine. The second sentence begins with {yIchImbe'},
which is kinda-sorta-not-legally like "be not empty it!" I believe you
wanted to use a conditional clause: {chImbe'chugh puch} "if the toilet
is not empty." You used {bIH} "they/them (referring to things)" as if it
were {vaj} "therefore." Change it to {vaj}, or leave it out entirely.
chIm'a' puchlIj?
