==> “Ndugekire maguta mengi irio-ri”.

1. Ithe/nyina wa Kamau,ndaguthaitha ndugekire maguta maingi irio -ini.
2. Woii:-) ndugekire maguta maingi muno irio -ini ciakwa (
3. Hi, tiga gwikira maguta maingi uguo …
4. My friend, ndugekire maguta maingi irio -ini.. ( that might really work, not too forceful, in a friendly way)

I hope all those versions works. But all depend on the tone of voice,facial expression (horror, your smiley self :-),etc) to get the desired results.
