Hello Gary,

You’ve made the matter quite clear to me, thank you. I suppo= se if one would prefer to retain the word “debi” (to indicate obligation), = the following variants would also be acceptable, the place of “tako” being = changed and a preposition added for the sake of clarity, as you have sugges= ted:

1) You should quickly get accustomed to thinking in Glosa. Tu deb= i tako gene more de Glosa kogita. 2) You should get accustomed to thinking = quickly in Glosa. Tu debi gene more de tako Glosa kogita.

Poli saluta,

Oleg

Oleg–

“Tu debi gene tako more Glosa kogita. You should quic= kly get accustomed thinking in Glosa.”

In my opinion, there are two= variants of translation possible:

1) Tu debi (gene tako more) (Glosa= kogita). =3D You should quickly get accustomed to thinking in Glosa. =

2) Tu debi (gene tako) (more Glosa kogita). =3D You should get accustome= d to thinking quickly in Glosa. (or: “to quick Glosa thinking”).

  • *= *

There is an error with sentence order here. TAKO is in the wrong p= lace. It modifies either DEBI or GENE, and should, therefore, come befor= e one of those two words. And FU would probably be better than the Engli= sh subjunctive SHOULD here. I think you have found an all-around bad s= entence.

I have found that a good way to make Glosa more precise is to= add prepositions:

1) Tu FU TAKO gene more (DE) kogita (PER) Glosa.

2) Tu FU gene more (DE) TAKO kogita (PER) Glosa.

There are still = other ways to solve the problem, but adding prepositions and U(N)/PLU oft= en help to clarify Glosa sentences.

As a former student of Russian, le= t me say that your English is outstanding.

-> Iso u pre stude-pe de = Rosija lingua, mi debi dice; tu England lingua es forti fo-boni.
