Yes, that's what I would do to get that sense.

But {ienai blanu} or {blanu ienai} also have meaning, to me
they express disagreement something about being blue.

> I presume a ianai on it's own would express disbelief of a previous bridi?

Yes, or whatever situation is under consideration, not necessarily
restricted to one bridi. To restrict to one bridi {ienai go'i}
or {go'i ienai}.

I think you did a great job. But that particular example does
not agree with how I would use the language, that's all.

Sounds good.
