Well, there's one thing that seems a bit inconsistent, at least at a glance. How do you decide where you use a word for "the"? I notice that in sentences 2 and 3 you have "dee zayv" for "the inn", and "dee Tooge Seshchev Ezh Umerikuh" for "the United States of America, so obviously you have a word for "the". I would have expected that I might find a word for "the" in a few other places as well: maybe "on the table" in sentence 1, or "on the world" in sentence 3. But perhaps there is some rule why this is so? Do you only use "dee" with the subject? DO you aviud using it after prepositions?
