You could say {lo lirmidju be le 199moi dekna'a} or, as xorxes was saying, {lo lirmidju be lo me li 1990 dekna'a}. The purpose of {me} is to convert {li 1990}, which is a sumti, into a selbri, so that it can make a tanru with {dekna'a}. > le lirmijpau be li 1990 dekna'a (so that {lirmijpau} shares the same > rightmost word of the expression explained below, and which is therefore > more stylistic ...)
