You've got the word order right now, and you're using the correct
prefixes. But there were *three* points of correction I listed to
your original posting. The third was on possessives. Your sentences
are not ungrammatical, but they don't say what you mean them to. Here
are possible translations:

Yup, I could see that, but you've got them the right way now. Have
another look at my last response and check out possessives in TKD.
For example, /ghoplIj vISop/ - "I ate your hand."

maj. You'll probably find them pretty easy, but good practice anyway.
