P. S. A thought just has got into my mind. On an Esperanto site, we use English to find understanding between each other. 'Cause I'm Russian, Leke is Finnish, English isn't a mother tounge for both of us. It's kinda funny.

Still, it's common for many other people.

I suspect you misuse conditional(-us). It should be used only to indicate conditionalityNo!
Ĉu vi povus pasigi (transdoni) la sukeron.
Devus as 'should' (a weak form of must) is perfectly ordinary in Esperanto. The problem here is not translating the 'should' but how to express the idea of going for a run, distinguishing it from running.
Kuradi doesn't solve the problem, I think. A 'run' here is an ekzerco-kuro or trejniĝa kuro.
Perhaps you could say mi devus iri por troto, or mi devus kurigi min.
The common English expression 'go for a ..' could receive various translations in Esperanto depending on what follows the 'a',

sudanglo:Devus as 'should' (a weak form of must) is perfectly ordinary in Esperanto. The problem here is not translating the 'should' but how to express the idea of going for a run, distinguishing it from running.What is the difference between these two:
I'm going running.
I'm going for a run.
To me they seem to be exactly the same. Although I'll be thinking about this now trying to figure out the practical difference. Good question sudanglo!

(I once had the idea of using "devu" for the optative, and another possibility is "deveti".)

sudanglo:I have a direct command to the contrary from the Esperanto course in the Internet created by Marko Rauhamaa. He says that it is ordinary, but plainly wrong. LinkI suspect you misuse conditional(-us). It should be used only to indicate conditionalityNo!
