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.
