I will come to you on Monday. `008`mi klama do ti'u la padjed. On Tuesday I learn Chinese laguage. `009`ti'u la redjed. mi cilre fi lo jugbau You sleep on Wednesday. `010`do sipni ti'u la cidjed. Nikolay swims on Thursday. `011`la nikolys. limna ti'u la vodjed. Our group on Friday (will) drink beer. `012`le mi girzu ti'u la mudjed. cu pinxe lo birje On Saturday Jews rest from working. `013`ti'u la xadjed. loi xebro cu surla lo gunka

Those should be {ca} rather than {ti'u}. {ti'u} tags a clock time.

In January, (people) celebrate the New Year. `027`la pamast. detri lenu salci le cnino nanca

I'd say {ca la pamast cu salci le cnino nanca}. I don't think January is a date.

On 10th I begin working. `038`de'i li pano mi di'a gunka

"I resume working" might be more clear. {co'a} would be better for "begin".

Columbus discovered a new country is dated when? `050`lenu la kolombus. facki lo cnino gugde cu se detri ma (In) year 1492. `051`la pavosorenanc. Mekhmet seized Constantinopolis is dated when? `052`la mexmet. dable'a la konstantiNUpolis. de'i ma In year 1453. `053`la pavomucinanc. The French revolution is dated when? `054`lenu fraso jecyga'ibai cu se detri ma In year 1789. `055`la pazebisonanc. Marx and Engels created the Communist Manifesto - dated when? `056`la marks. joi la .engels. finti le guntrusi'o selpeicku ku de'i ma In year 1848. `057`la pabivobinanc. Mukhammed came to Medina - dated when? `058`la muxamed. klama la medinas. de'i ma In year 622. `059`la xarerenanc.

{li pavosore} could be a date. But I don't think a year is a date. {de'i li xarere} or {ca la xarerenanc}.


The mother of the infant travels. `081`le mamta pe le cifnu ku litru The mother of the infant traveller. `082`le mamta pe le cifnu litru

{pe} should be {be}.

Zhang left the bar at 10 o'clock. Susan came to the bar at 11 o'clock. `085`la jan. cliva le barja ti'u la daucac. .i la suzyn. klama le barja ti'u la feicac.

{ca la daucac}, {ca la feicac} or {ti'u li dau}, {ti'u li fei}.


Near Paris, I work. `118`vi la paris. mi gunka A long way from my home, I work. `119`vu le mi zdani mi gunka A medium distance from where Kennedy was killed, I work. `120`va lenu la KEnedis. se catra kei mi gunka

I think vi/va/vu should be used to tag distances, not origins. For example:

ki la paris vi lo minli mi gunka I work only a mile away from Paris.

ki le mi zdani vu lo ki'otre be li muno mi gunka I work 50 kilometers (a long way) away from my home.

ki le nu la KEnedis se catra kei va lo so'o zdagri mi gunka I work several blocks away from where Kennedy was killed.


The rocket is flying upwards. `136`le jakne cu ga'u vofli

"Upwards" would be {ga'u mo'i}.

Your house is where? `149`zdani do vi ma

I'd say {bu'u ma} or {tu'i ma}. The latter for permanent sites.

A while after Zhang left, Susan is standing in the bar. `156`baza lenu la jan. cliva kei la suzyn. sanli ne'i vi le barja

What does {vi} do there?


"Take that away. Give me a new wine bottle." `163`ko lebna ta .i ko dunda lo cnino vanju botpi mi

That's a "(new wine) bottle", not a "new (wine bottle)".

Now Susan lives some way away from Zhang. `166`la suzyn. ca xabju va la jan. Every Thursday Susan goes to the bar, not far from the office. `168`ca ro la vodjed. la suzyn. klama le barja va le briju At the bar Susan meets Susan's long-time friends. `169`vi le barja la suzyn. penmi le la suzyn. ze'u pendo

See above re vi/va

Susan sits away from the German beer. `171`la suzyn. zutse to'o le dotco birje

Facing away?
