(Translation (of the above) and comments follow)













Hi, Ivan, as for your text, I understood it, no trouble. I didn't have
to look up many words or rafsi in the list.

One point where I think you may be in error:
> .i seki'ubo leiko'a prenu se zilsri so'ida le xabju be lei drata poi
> tcadu be'o .eji'a vo'a  .i ja'ebo ko'a ralta'u sera'a lei xamselfinti

The first sentence has no selbri, it's just a string of sumti:
.i seki'ubo [leiko'a prenu se zilsri] [so'ida] [le xabju li'o]

I guess you meant "cu se zilsri"

> .i ri se detri lo barda nunsalci poi fasnu viko'a caro nanca

Why "poi fasnu"? I don't know what it adds.

                Nice work keep it up.
