Assuming that you speak to a woman:

Do you have a stone in your pocket?

Nīyes? Thū cayūlimey...
[ˈniː.es | tʰuː t͡sajuːˈlimei̯]
NEG.2SG.FEM | 2SG.FEM.NOM lose.OPT.FUT.2SG
No? Then you lose...

New word for this challenge:

ghrāsa [ˈɣɾaːsa] / [gras] - pocket
Etymology: loanword of uncertain origin. Possibly related to Hittite 𒄥𒊭𒀸 "gur-sa-as" and Ancient Greek βύρσα bursa, or Latin bursa.

This question seems like something Goliath might have asked David! I suppose I could be wrong, though!
