Some questions about Aceh

Hello there,
My name is André and I'm studying Linguistics at the Universität Leipzig. I had a presentation about the Aceh language today. While going through the data that I got from A Grammar of Acehnese (1985, by Mark Durie), we noticed that some things were not clear. To answer these questions, you just need to tell me, whether one can say the following sentences in Aceh, meaning, whether they are "proper Aceh" or whether they are wrong. The spelling is a bit different from what you are using, but I hope you understand the phrases.

Are these phrases correct Aceh:

Gopnyan teuntèe geu woe. ("He/She will certainly return.")
Gopnyan teuntèe meungang geuh. ("He/She will certainly win.")
Gopnyan teuntèe geu cok atra nyan. ("He/She will certainly take this thing.")
Lôn ngieng moto nyang geu bloe lé ureueng nyan. ("I saw the car that was bought by this person.")
Lôn ngieng moto nyang ureueng nyan geu bloe. ("I saw the car that was bought by this person.")
Yakin lôn nyang ureueng nyan geu bloe moto. ("I am sure that this person bought a car.")

And a few small questions, which I hope you can tell me:

How do you say "The king is certain."? Can you say Raja geu teuntèe? Can teuntèe be used as a verb at all?
Does yakin mean the same as teuntèe or is there a difference? Can you say Raja yakin lôn ("The king is sure")?
How do you say "I don't speak Aceh." in Aceh?
How do you say "I love you." in Aceh?

I would really appreciate it if you could help me with these phrases. The last 2 questions are only for a personal collection, and have nothing to do with the rest.
