It is also perfectly correct to say {tolcertu be la lojban}.
Semantically, in a construction like that, there's no difference between
the forms.  The {be} binds the second sumti more tightly to the selbri,
making it actually part of the selbri, but since there's nothing after
it, the changed precedences don't matter.
 
You're right, sorry about that one.

> Good is the fact, not the event.
 
I don't see the reason why.
"It's good that You can translate almost anything." (nu/za'i)
"The statement that You can translate almost anything is good." (du'u)
Isn't the first one what You meant?

Totally right. I dunno how I didn't see that. o'anai
