Kaltxì,

I was doing some thinking on how to say Eywa be with a certain person, like with my mom, dad, sister etc, but don't know exactly how. Maybe the same way as Eywa ngahu but reaplace nga with another word and leave hu?

Irayo in advance.

..hm...maybe:

Eywa oe-yä sa'nok-hu.

Ewya my    mother with

However, if you just wanted to say him or her, you could just say

Ewya poe-hu     or      Eway poan-hu             (poe=her, poan=him)


I'm no expert though.

Yeah, I was just thinking some more on it while playing my guitar and came to the conclusion of exactly what you said lolz. Weird...

That's exactly what it would be, srane.  You can also do that to other similar phrases.  For example in response to someone worried about their mothers health today I said..

Ngayä sa'nokru fpom layivu.
(I'd actually intentionally left out the subjunctive when I said it to them, to make it sound more like "She WILL be ok" rather than "I hope she will be ok")

Literally...
Let your mother have well-being.

wait..you say "layivu" did you put subj and future in there?

Hawnuyu atìtse'a

Yes he did. Although adding a -ru on sa'nuk would be better, as it would be closer to the known phrase. So,

Ngayä sa'nukru fpom layivu.

Lit. Let well being be to your mother.

omängum fra'uti

Srane, but that could be completely incorrect.  (For all I know the <ev> of k<ìy><ev>ame could be more appropriate there, but we have no clue what <ev> is at the moment.)

And yes, I meant to add -ru to sa'nok, forgot it when typing it up.  (Fixed now)

i'm just a bit confused with your l<ay><iv>u
am i right in saying the <ay> is one of the tenses?? but whats <iv>
cheers

omängum fra'uti

<iv> is the subjunctive, but I wrote that before we knew how to properly combine tense and subjunctive.  We know now that should have been lìyevu - future subjunctive.
