The rule isn't based on "replace A with B", it's this: When saying go'i, not the
word itself is repeated, but its meaning. So if I am conversing with my friends
alis and martin, it would work like this:

mi: doi alis do xu klama le zarci
martin: go'i

in this case martin repeats/replies with "la alis klama le zarci", because the
"do" from my sentence referred to alis.

There is another word, called ra'o, which makes the words behave differently. If
you say {go'i ra'o}, it's not the meaning that is repaced, but the words are
interpreted again:

mi: mi nelci lo gerku
alis: go'i ra'o

now what alis says is {mi nelci lo gerku}, so {go'i ra'o} often translates to
"me, too!" in english.

I hope i didn't add to your confusion, but instead subtracted from it :)

have fun with lojban!

mu'o mi'e timos
