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]
