There is no to be or to do. That is, there is no difference between "I am a man" {mi nanmu }and "I [do] walk" {mi cadzu}. It's always just an argument (sumti) filling a place of a predicate (selbri). You still need an abstraction for kakne. {mi kakne lo ka/nu tavla} means both "I can be a talker" and "I can talk". mu'o mi'e la selpa'i -- .i pau mi me ma .i pa mai ko mi jungau la'e di'u .i ba bo mi va'o lo nu nelci lo nu me ma kau cu barkla .i va'o lo nu na nelci cu denpa ti lo nu mi drata -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
