The quick-one is a seller book.

Another question, why does the above not mean "The quick-one sells books."?  Does it need to be "le cukta" instead?  If not, how would you get it to mean that?

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I'm a CS and Math student at UC Davis and I just signed up yesterday.  I just have a quick question about what very little I have learned so far.

I know "le blanu" would be "the blue thing" and that "ti" means "this" (or sometimes "here"?), so would "le ti blanu" be the right way to say "this blue thing"?  Right now, I'm reading the "Lojban for Beginners" PDF.  If anyone has suggestions of other ways I might learn, please let me know.

Thanks,
