>tugh jInmolwIjmo' vIvumta'
This didn't come out the way you wanted. What you actually have here is
more like "I accomplished working because of my project soon," which makess
no sense. There is a verb for "to finish, to accomplish," <rIn>. I would
simply recast this using it:
tugh jInmolwIj vIrIn
"I will finish my project soon." Notice that you do not need to include
any tense marker on the verb, because <tugh> does that for you. Does this
make more sense?
>Qapla'Heyvammo' jIQuch
maj! QaQ mu'tlheghvam!
>muqaDbe'pu' Qu'wIj
majQa'! QaQ je mu'tlheghvam!
