I was talking to a friend about a couple we know who were going on vacation. Between her uncertainty about the unusual word she was using and my poor hearing, here’s what I thought she said:
They’re going camping, and they’re staying in a urine.
They’re staying in a yurt.

You did fine. Clarification or repetition is important.
