It seems you can't know anything but a 'du'u' in lojban, Right, but that doesn't mean you must always use the actual word {du'u} explicitly. You might say: mi djuno lo cinri le va pixra I know something intersting about that picture. Because {lo cinri} can be a {du'u}, for example: le du'u le pixra cu nanca li vonono cu cinri It's interesting that the picture is 400 years old. >so what do we say when we know a fone number? do we always have >to say "le du'u le do cu mokau"...? If you want to use {djuno}, yes. Other possibility is to use {selsau}: i mi selsau le fonjudri be do I know your phone number. i e'o ko saurgau le do fonjudri mi Please make-known your phone number to me. co'o mi'e xorxes
