As for desire, this can only apply to states. Wanting an app= le doesn't really mean *anything*. Seeing an apple does.

When we say "I see y= ou" we actually mean "I see you standing/present in front of me/{= co'e}/whatever".

I don't understand why you think "I see you&qu= ot; is short for a longer phrase, especially one that is too specific and o= ften simply not true.=A0

I just think the sentence "I want [to eat] an apple" is somewhat = parallel to "I see you [standing]". If in the first one we must u= se {tu'a} then the same should be true for the second sentence.
stevo

So {mi viska do} is just a ha= ndy emulation of natlangs when it should really be expressed as {mi viska t= u'a do}. But as some lojbanists already do this illegal trick then let&= #39;s make it official.

Therefore=A0
{mi ganse lo du'u crino} - I= sense something as being green (i.e. I see it).
{mi ganse lo du&= #39;u lo cladu ku crino} -=A0=A0I sense some loud object as green (i.e. I s= ee it)
{mi ganse [tu'a] lo cladu}=A0=A0 - I sense some loud object = [nothing is said how I sense it, it's might be a synonym of the previou= s example].

So there is no conflict between th= e object and the type of sensing it.=A0In first case you use {tu'a} or = just drop it. In the second case you use {lo su'u/nu/du'u/...}



We have no gismu for TASTE ( {vrusi} has no place for = experiencer) and TOUCH-FEEL ({pencu} is now what we need. when i touch {ko&= #39;a} with a screwdriver i touch-feel the screwdriver but touch=A0{ko'= a}=A0).
We would also need=A0to allow=A0in=A0{sumne2}=A0not only the object be= ing smelled but the type of smell and abstraction for the combination of th= e object and it's smell.
