Can you drive a car?
Mwazo ya dyazo sounds hilarious. It reminds me of "fo shizzle my nizzle".
Mwazo and dyazo are neologisms.
mwazo = leader-mover ... one who controls the movement of something
dyazo = tool-mover ... a tool for moving (ie. a moving tool)
The intransitive equivalent of "drive" is zodya ... mover-tool ... one who moves with the help of a device, but this also includes being a passenger (like German fahren).

Re: Can you drive a car?
I really want to make a language were this is a two word utterance with the following structure, but I guess I won't
vehicle on road vehicle.INCORP-control-ABIL-2SG-Q
Vehicle would be the word that is used for boats if its specific but also for vehicles in general.

Can you drive a car?
A few notes: 德砗 tájāng (car) literally means "German wagon", correspondingly the verb 德开 tálòn is literally "to drive German". Ular uses the character 砗 for "wagon" because 车 exclusively means "carriage". Also note that, like in Chinese, 开 means both "to open" and "to drive", but in Ular it has two different readings: lòn is "to drive", and khārh is "to open".
