Your challenge today is: “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.” – Douglas Adams, The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy


It was somewhat tricky to translate this into Firen because I don’t have a direct translation of “in much the same way as”, but that’s what makes this fun. I ended up with: Zegůmallabe čattoṙske fante, koṙka nakůserimallaibe.
