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.

Leke: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.I would say "Ni nutras nin per sango."

Other than that it looks fine to me!

Vespero_: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?

Benjamino:I would say "Ni nutras nin per sango."Yep, That makes more sense, thanks

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.

Vespero_:"La homoj" is perfectly acceptable too.Leke: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.When speaking about all of humankind, it's common to use "La homaro."

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