Hello!
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me translate a few english phrases into badini dialect...I have been told different things by different people and would like to know how to say correctly...(not so important but if possible, a phonetic spelling as well as the proper spelling would be useful!)

I am fine / i am not fine

goodbye

my name is...

i like / i dont like ...

i am (age) years old
