).My best guess is this:
Mi cedintas de la batali de Ido.
I know that I could say "I gave up the fight for Esperanto," but I'm just trying to be difficult

*la batali is correct in Ido (where -i is plural), but not in Esperanto.

darkweasel:mi rezignis pri la batalo por Ido(while you're completely correct Darkweasel, mea amiko, I thought he was trying to use a verb as a noun, e.g. "I have given up fighting for Ido" - is that what you meant Greyshades? (in which case darkweasel's translation is what you want Greyshades, if I've misunderstood entirely, then my bad
*la batali is correct in Ido (where -i is plural), but not in Esperanto.

mi rezignis pri la batalo por IdoOh sorry lol I typed in fight in the vortaro and wasn't even really thinking about it.
*la batali is correct in Ido (where -i is plural), but not in Esperanto.
Mi rezignintas la batalon por Ido.
I suppose that would be the correct way of what I was thinking.

The jam is for emphatic effect, I guess.

Greyshades:This is theoretically correct, but there's absolutely no reason to use this strange form instead of the simpler rezignis.
Mi rezignintas la batalon por Ido.
