Umm... Don't mean to argue, but isn't this wrong? I would translate the
first as "Subspace theory makes me boring" and the latter as "peace makes
me boring" -- I suspect neither is really what you were striving for?
Perhaps better examples: ?
HaDtaHghachwIj DalmoH 'evnagh nger
"Subspace theory makes my studies boring."
yInwIj luDalmoH roj
"Peace makes my life boring."
be'vaD muDalmoHbe' DaQwIj
"My ponytail doesn't make me boring for women."
