you can wash a fish, not its smell...

Dis a ahcip fi ansa, kos ina Sajiwan, "wash" a klin, oba klin swel min "clean". Klin fis min "clean a fish", an dis a olde mata fi mek. Oba set fis ina wota an rop im, it na sen.
It's difficult to reply to this, because in Sajiwan, "wash" is klin, but klin also means "clean". Klin fis means "clean a fish", and this is a normal thing to do. But putting a fish in water and rub it, doesn't make sense.

sometimes the conversations use plays on words, and other times they are straightforward, and sometimes there are...implied meanings.

Anyone got any puns in their conlangs that don't translate into any natlangs? I've got one about a type of pastry (samaya) and caves (singular: samatha) but not enough words to tell proper jokes yet.

Please post this in the Conlang Random Thread. (Normally submissions in this thread must be translated from a conlang, unless it’s continuing a previous conversation.)

I finished the first translation of chapter six of "The Hobbit", "Out of the Frying-pan Into the Fire". Still a lot of things to do...
