This does not tell us who the recipient is, so it is different from {mi dunda ti do}. > So, how *do* we walk about the facing of objects in a bridi? You can simply use NOI and NE: {.i mi noi se farna do cu dunda ti do} or: {.i mi ne fa'a do cu dunda ti do} {.i mi dunda ti noi se farna } or: {.i mi dunda ti ne fa'a mi do} etc. for all the other possible permutations. Similarly for "I walk towards you, but backwards", you can do one of the following: .i mi cadzu fa'a do fau lo nu mi to'e se farna do .i mi noi to'e se farna do cu cadzu fa'a do .i mi fau lo nu lo crane cu trixe cu cadzu fa'a do etc. mu'o mi'e la selpa'i -- .i pau mi me ma .i pa mai ko mi jungau la'e di'u .i ba bo mi va'o lo nu nelci lo nu me ma kau cu barkla .i va'o lo nu na nelci cu denpa ti lo nu mi drata -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
