How do I say.. "I forget how to say this in Japanese"? Whenever I am speaking in a conversation in Japanese, I always end up trying to reply to someone but then I forget the phrase or word. I want to tell them. "Uggh I forget how to say this in Japanese!" or "I forget the word in Japanese" IS 日本語で言葉は忘れます? correct? or 日本語で言葉は忘れるし増す? or should I use a completely different phrase? Thanks for your help!

[casual] 「あー、日本語でなんて言うか忘れた!」[aa, nihongode nanteiuka wasureta!] [polite] 「日本語でどういうのか忘れました。」[nihongode douiunoka wasuremasita.] Or, if you want to say like, " how can I say..." like speaking to yourself, you can say, 「なんていうんだっけ、、、」[nante iun dakke]
