oh... actually yeah, now that I take a second (closer) look at the original, it looks fine for the same reason that I mentioned earlier.{sei za'a do jinvi mi plana} breaks down into:I observe you opine, I am fat. It doesn't seem right because we usually don't put {sei} like constructs at the beginning of sentences in english, but it amounts to the same thing as "I'm fat, you opine ( I think )". The {do jinvi} is all that gets sucked up into the {sei} which leaves the {mi plana} as the main bridi.

grammar of sei, but the semantics of the sentence.
