The article {le} indicates that you liked one particular occasion (or each of the particular occasions you have in mind) of eating chocolate. To say that you like eating chocolate generically, I would suggest {lo'e} instead of {le}. (Nobody pays much attention to this though, we often use {le nu} to refer to generic events rather than particular ones.) Also you can say {mi nelci lo'e cakla} directly. As for {citka loi cakla} vs {citka lo cakla}, I don't see much difference. Some quantity of chocolate, or several quantities taken together. I suppose that you like it so much that you prefer to eat several quantities at once? mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
