Or, should I say, coi rodo. It's my first time at this group and I've been familiarizing myself with Lojban for the past month. It's been going well, but I have run into an issue that I have not found a good answer for anywhere on the internet. How do you say "the x which/who/that does y, does z"? Sort of like an appositive; I'm not sure exactly what to call it. I know that, in this language, being and doing are the same. If the way to do this is context-sensitive, then please translate the sentence "The woman who owns a car is my mother." I know that it should involve "le ninmu," "ponse lo karce" (or some conjugational variation thereof), and "le mi mamta" or "le mamta po'e mi". Any help you can give is appreciated.
