i'll just borrow the english word as _kyr-_ [xir\]...

ky kyres eratemy enda(s) (should i translate the 'I' as masculine or
feminine here?)
most of these sentences are sort of difficult to translate into kinsi
rorotan...
i'd have to either just use english words (like i did with "silk" and
"skirt") or use rather lengthy descriptions of things ("present", "shop",
"rent", "shopping", "buy"... i'd have to explain what money is and go
from there...); i'd rather not do the former and don't have enough time
to do the latter...
