I disagree.  It is NOT essential that concepts be expressed in gismu, if
they can be expressed in reasonably short, and possibly metaphorical, lujvo.

How would you say "I was gonna..."?

One thing I did not mention last post: gismu, and brivla in general,
express claims.  Attitudinals do not express claims.  The set of claims
that we might express about the world does not match the set of emotions
that we might feel about the world.  Yes, it would sometimes be useful
to have words to talk about those emotions, umm, unemotionally.  But I
doubt that such analytical discussion of emotions is all that common,
and hence there is no need for short words or expressions to facilitate
such discussion.  Indeed, one could probably get by with "cinmo la'ezo
.ai." without need for any word invention at all.

> If it's {zukte}

It isn't.

>then we must clarify it's real meaning.

Emotional expressions do not necessarily have "meaning".  If they do, it
isn't entirely  clear that what I *mean* in expressing "ai" or "io" or
"iu" is necessarily what you *mean* if you express them.

> The question is pretty straightforward: How do I say "I intend ..."  not
> using {.ai}

You most certainly would not say that using "ai".  You express intention
using "ai".  You do not claim to intend using "ai".

> and having in mind it's clean meaning with no extra implications?

Attitudinals have not clean meaning, and aren't intended to.  Any
implications that they have are purely emotive.
