Not bad, except I think that means &qu= ot;the property of (being hot caused by the fire) is pleasant to me."= =A0 Might as well change the "ka" to "nu mi".=A0 It'= ;s a good sentence, but doesn't match the original.

But you did give me an idea.=A0 I want to replace "mupli" wit= h "ckaji" changing my original sentence to:

= .i lo se ckaji be lo vi fagri be'o je ka glare cu pluka mi


T= hen following your pattern:

.i lo ka glare kei be kai lo vi fagri cu pluka mi
"The (propert= y of being hot) characterizing this fire is pleasant to me."
"= The hotness of this fire is pleasant to me."
