I'm just beginning to learn lojban, so I'm afraid I have as yet little 
to contribute on things like the proper interpretation of attitudinals.
In the interest of learning, I've tried writing a few phrases (writing
being easier than reading, with the CLL in front of me).

If someone would be so kind as to tell me whether these say what I'm
trying to say, that would be wonderful, and I will be prepared for a
tourist visit to Lojbanistan.

vi ma le mi palku
	Where are my pants?

.e'o ko ctigau le ti kanba
	Please feed this goat.

pu ku do cadzu lei mi so'i vanjba
	You have trampled my grapes.

ko jarco mi le do tamca
	Show me your tomato.

le mi badgai sivyta'u cu ca se na'e kufra
	My jockstrap is uncomfortable.

ga do vimcu le taxfu cinza mi gi mi spoja
	If you do not remove this clothespin, I will explode.


ki'e do

P.S.  How would one say "thanks in advance" (which is what I mean)?
