> "selbri tag"?  not CLL,

The concept (though maybe not the term) is CLL. Most occurences of 
tenses for example use selbri tags: {mi pu klama} has a selbri tag which 
(implicitly) tags {zo'e}. It means "Before zo'e, I go".

> but, that aside, what does it means: "they are

"Dogs are _so_ cute."

{tai} compares, like English "so". In this case, what it compares the 
bridi to is left up to context.

It's not easy to find a better lujvo. Compositionality only gets one so far.

Could be, but different people think in different ways. What seems 
complicated to one person might seem more intuitive to another, and vice 
versa.
