Do you mean "fanza" or "fanva"? Neither makes sense: you can't annoy character 
strings, and words can't translate.

"soi" followed by two sumti means that the sentence remains true when the two 
sumti are exchanged. "soi" followed by one sumti is grammatical, but I don't 
know what it means. "soi" without a sumti following is ungrammatical.
