mi zmadu do lo ni barda (I exceed you in property of bei= ng big) =3D> mi poi zilkarbi do cu barda (I compared to you is big).

ka, not ni. ni is quantity, ka is property.

Although this is completely unrelated to the thr= ead -- then again so is your reply, too -- the abstraction suggestions in t= he gimste are not prescriptive.

I know this. I'm a big proponent of same.
&n= bsp;
(Y= ou can dig around the archives to see that Lojbab himself has said this.)&n= bsp;

Some of us have adopted a system of abstractions that i= s more self-consistent, and indeed, that system puts a quantity abstractor = in zmadu3. What gleki said isn't wrong; it simply doesn't conform to your s= tyle of Lojban.

Actually, no. It is wrong, because he is transl= ating ni as property. "(I exceed you in property of being big)". I wasn't s= aying he needed to put a property there, I was saying that ni is /not/ a pr= operty., it's a quantity.

Y= es, I was abviously wrong. .i .u'u

The correct translation <= /div>

mi zmadu do lo ni barda (I exceed you in quantity = of being big)

=3D> mi poi zilkarbi do cu = barda (I compared to you is big).

(However, I'm not sure if t= he second sentence is about properties of qunatities).
