Dzo faren vide zo. Izaba eol minyar. Faren tsir ali zen.

I don't like fish (either.) I prefer real meat. Fish is too light.

I like to avoid eating meat, except when I have a craving for lamb.

Oh good! Joyous day! I am glad that you don't like to eat fish. Everyone that I know likes it.

I like fish, but the fish around here doesn't taste very good. The Chinese food is fantastic, though!

Fun trivia: Feayran makes a morphological distinction between Chinese food that was not actually made in China, and Chinese food which is actually from China. This could probably get extended to distinguish between "Chinese" food that you eat in American "Chinese" restaurants, and authentic Chinese food made in, for example, San Francisco's China Town.

Waega |chinese| na xĕdănērŭ zāgi' xĕdă da. Changshuoga etshuonērŭ dĕ |chinese| ten da.

I love chinese food. Changshuo doesn't have a word for chinese.

I am trying a new orthography for Changshuo.

तानो ठर ध्ये
वएनो ठून् रौन वृन्
एळोन रक

It says:
Tāno chara jie
Waeno chūn rō na wĕn
Elo na raka
