[lojban-beginners] Re: A problem with cu
la iens cusku di'e
Let's see whether I understand it.
{le cilre cu xamgu} - learning is good
"The learner is good."
{lo'e nu cilre cu xamgu} - learning is good.
{le cilre xamgu} - (a tanru I cannot translate)
"The learner good". Just a bit odd. But:
{le xunre cukta} - the red book.
{lenu mi cilre cu xamgu} - the event of my learning is good
Right.
{lenu mi cilre xamgu} - the event of my doing (tanru)
The event of my beig a learner good. Similar to "my being
a good learner".
{lenu mi cilre zo'e cu xamgu} - the event of my learning something
is good
Yes. {zo'e} is not really necessary.
In the last sentence I need {cu} because {lenu zo'e (selbri)
zo'e ...} is always another selbri. But this selbri doesn't have
x1, x2, ... like gismus. (?)
It has the same arguments as the last component. {broda brode}
has the place structure of brode.
For example:
xunre cukta: x1 is a red book about subject x2 by author x3 etc.
mu'o mi'e .iens.
(Is {ki'e mu'o mi'e .iens.} something like {Thanks, ...}?)
Yes!
mu'o mi'e xorkes
