OK, my bad. You're saying that "abstractor, bridi, tense, brivla" such as "nu broda ca brode", forms a tanru? I had a similar confusion with "nu broda kei brode", which I overcame only by positively using that form, like "ta nu klama kei prenu", there are some event-of-going type of people. So maybe we could use this form a little so I get used to it? Is this right then: ta nu klama ba prenu -- that's some event-of-going-later type of people over there. dei nu pilno le tarmi ca jufra -- this is an event of using the shape now sentence mi cusku lo pu'u cilre fi la .lojban. pu selsku -- i speak a process of having learned about lojban type of expression Now I get it!? mu'o jbocevni mi'e selkik
