I just got done reorganizing some of the function words - so they will
differ from previous translations of mine.

= pijo (single loaf of bread)
> I would like 4 loaves of bread, please.
fwefile le u vyu pijo, sive le.
would.like.to.have I - four loaf.of.bread, ask I.
notes: would-like is affixed to the verb 'to have', with the result meaning
'would like to have'. "sive le" is the equivalent of "please".

It doesn't seem that many people translated this one... amount of replies
seem to be dropping... maybe it wasn't as exciting as the others?
