I translated it to {lu'o le vo ninmu cu cibna la rikis.martin.} while the correct translation is {lu'o vo lo ninmu cu cinba la rikis.martin.} Wouldn't {lu'o vo lo ninmu cu cinba la rikis.martin.} translate to "four=20 women, as a group, kiss Ricky Martin." ? I was taught, in previous sections= ,=20 that {vo lo ninmu} was a way to say "three women" instead of "the three=20 women" which was introduced earlier as {le vo ninmu}. Can someone shed some light in the matter ?
