I took this lujvo in http://www.lojban.org/files/draft-dictionary/NORALUJV.txt

{nalgundei}
na'e+gunka+djedi:
non-working day, weekend day or holiday:
x1 = djedi1 (full day), x2 = gunka1 (worker), x3 = djedi3 (full day standard)

And {djedi} is
x1 is x2 full days in duration (default is 1 day) by standard x3

Isn't the duration you mention the djedi2 that is no more in the {nalgundei}
signature?

That's why I translated "I am in holidays" with {mi se nalgundei}.
I don't know if there are better ways to say this. Actually, I wanted "I am in
vacation".

Yes, of course, you're right.

Yes, that's it. I didn't understand why it didn't parse fully...

Isn't {di'e} more about what is said than about what is shown?

Thanks a lot for your time. This was helpfull, I feel like I make some progress...
