more of earlier translation exercise



Rick,
Fusi mi pi cansampa tumi xetadya foy.

    Dimpa mi vozwe nane dimpa mi vohi kivakxe ne casi tumi kivakxe jasi
    diha.
    = I moved the table but why did I move it and why did you want to
    think about it?


I actually meant to use "kosi" 'know about' instead of "si", so would the latter part become:
ne sa casi tumi kivakxe jakosi diha = and why do you want to know about it?

As you can see, I also forgot that "casi" becomes past tense because of the previous past-tense verb.
