Author: arpgme Ok, I understand "cu" now. It's like "is" when used with a noun + adjective. So it's noun + cu + adjective. "Cu" needs to desperate these words to that no one misunderstands. What I DON'T understand is how "my desire" translates into "le se djica be mi". Why is "se" there? I thought "se" was used to switch positions between two words? Can I just write "le djica be mi"? If not, what would "le djica be mi" mean? Can someone elaborate on how "be" should be used? Lojban is so difficult...
