"Taoba sȳz gerpe ipradas se kirine issa."

Translation: The boy eats the good fruit and is happy.

I'm still not sure about the difference between Gerpa, Gerpi, Gerpe and Gerp(ii)

[Bergkvist84]

Gerpa and Gerpe are singular, Gerpi and Gerpī are plural - nominative and accusative, respectively :)

[diegoflauta]

Could "Taoba syyz gerpe ipradas" also mean "The GOOD BOY eats the fruit"?

[BrunoSenra]

Yes, but given the ambiguity the default is to consider the adjective to be modifying the noun after it rather than before.

[Rmf3Qrpf]

When is gerpi to be understood as 'fruit' and when is it supposed to be understood as 'pieces of fruit'?

I wrote "The boy eats good pieces fruit and is happy." and it was not accepted. And in a previous exercise I translated "gerpi" as fruit and was told I should have used 'pieces of fruit'...

[marijoaguas]

Why could this not also be "Taoba syyz GERPII ipradas se kirine issa"? Couldn't both gerpe and gerpii fit, since they are both accusative?

[marijoaguas]

Oh...It could only be gerpii if the syyz refers to the taoba. And usually the adjective comes before the noun it is modifying.
