Greetings Dawid,
Yes, it is easy to be wrong in translating words, and my first instinct for (`eith) on this thread was wrong. But leaving a word out guarantees one to be wrong. For me, it just seems better to try, even to get it wrong along the way, than to not try at all. For 400 years, who has even tried?
You say, "It's the marker of the direct object, so there's no way to translate it in English." How can you be so sure of that? Because others have said so?
