The most obvious translation of {le ta bradi} is indeed, I believe,
"that one's enemy", i.e. {le bradi be ta}. The strict meaning of
{le ta bradi} is {le bradi pe ta}, which could be read, given a suitable
context, as {le bradi poi zvati ta}, "the enemy that is there", i.e.
something like "that enemy". We also have {le va bradi}, i.e.
"the medium-distance-away enemy" which would usually be more
clear for that meaning.
