> SISDI' vum 'e' mev Hoch loD 'ej juH ghoS
Let me see if I get this:
SIS "It rains"
-DI' "When / as soon as" (I wish that I knew about this suffix!)
vum "to work"
'e' "topic"
mev "stops"
Hoch "all / everyone"
loD "man"
'ej "and"
juH "home"
ghoS "come"
A few problems:
If I were to say "they stop working" would it be <vum 'e' lumev> (they
work, they stop it.)
<loD> is singular, shouldn't it be loDpu'? <Hoch loD> is "all of the man",
as opposed to just his arm.
The sentence said "go home" not "come home" so it should be <jaH>
*** I *really* wish I knew about <-DI'> ***
The new sentence would read:
SISDI' vum 'e' lumev Hoch loDpu' 'ej juH jaH
HIqaD!
