Micro-Translation Excercise

My attempts:
- ele' nae salo lika ui nae sar ka dio nasadila. (Doraya)
- u" ty se ve sakstad tha tkareth si gu"p mevu". (Kusthu")
Doraya in more detail:
ele' nae salo lika ui nae sar ka dio nasadila
if you understand this-thing then you know thing over your-need
... or, somewhat more idiomatically:
ele' nae salo lika ui nae sar gu'ikaka.
if you understand this-thing then you know bad-much-thing.
(_gu-_ is a noun prefix indicating a distaste for the affixed noun; the
compound prefix _gu'ika-_ means more or less 'so much that I don't like
it'.)
Kusthu" in detail:
u" ty se ve sakstad tha tkareth si gu"p mevu"
this NOM you DAT be.legible.3P if knowledge GEN excess have.2P
And now, off to sleep.
Later,
Adam
