Can you check these translations? Especially the "per" as I wasn't sure what was appropriate, unless "feed on" is like a compound verb where nutri alone is sufficient.

We feed on blood :: Ni nutras per sango.
We avoid sunlight :: Ni evitas sunlumon.
We rule the humans :: Ni regas la homojn. (would "Ni regas homojn" also be understandable?).

This is a task in part of a game. I'm trying to keep the sentences in a simple repetitive format ([Ni]+[1 verb]+[1 object]). The third sentence is kind of mixed, and player has to arrange some letters to some parts of words so that the sentence makes sense.

Thanks.

I would say "Ni nutras nin per sango."

Other than that it looks fine to me!

When speaking about all of humankind, it's common to use "La homaro."

So I guess that would be "Ni regas la homaron." as the plural is inferred?

Yep, That makes more sense, thanks ridulo.gif

Or "Ni sinnutras/ninnutras", but you may want to avoid double consonants.

Ni nutriĝas ... is the most common use.

Tjeri:Ni nutriĝas ... is the most common use.
Mi konsentas, vi pravas. Mi ĝin dirus tiel ankaŭ.

I agree, you're right. I'd say it like that too.

"La homoj" is perfectly acceptable too.

For example, in SAT's definition of "oni":
* oni. Pron., signifanta «iu ne menciita persono»; «kelkaj aŭ multaj personoj»; «la homoj ĝenerale»
