Dealing with participles, crazy verb tenses and all that good stuff, I was wondering how might the short sentence, "I have given up the fight for Ido," would be translated into Esperanto (yeah, just wanted to poke a little fun at Idoistoj 
).
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

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.
