I would have used {joi} instead of {.e} there.

I'm not sure, however, if that expands to
{ge mi bevri lo pipno si'u la djan gi
mi bevri lo pipno si'u la frank} or not.

The English seems ambiguous between
{mi pilno le tadji lo nu zbasu lo nanba} and
{mi pilno le tadji be lo nu zbasu lo nanba}.

I think {finti} would be used for bread only in very
special cases, and if you really finti bread you probably
wouldn't be following instructions.

Hmm... that leaves you without an example.

I approve, but it requires a change of grammar.

Perhaps "on a train", to indicate that the whole/most
of the visit occurs while on the train.

That would be {mi pilno ti lo nu benji lo se mrilu}.

That would be {mi pilno ti lo nu benji fi la kim}.

{mi pilno ti lo nu benji fo la kim}.

In theory at least, the x1 of katna would be a tool not a person,
so {gau mi katna lo mudri ...}.

> Examples of se gau Usage
>
> mi pilno lo dakfu se gau lo nu mi katna le degji be fi mi

That looks like an example of {ja'e}, also same comment
as above about {katna}.
