Because there is nothing after the {vi}, it [more or less= ] takes {zo'e} as its target, and ends up modifying the it modifies the= main selbri to mean that the "going" is occurring near something= (unspecified/obvious).

SECOND VERSE
I meant tutra of course. So = that the voice is calling me into paradise LANDS. That's why I used ter= ritories - tutra. Is it wrong ?

Should I use reisku instead of cpedu ?
Then here is my sugge= stion

That makes sense now that you explain it. To m= e, though, it seems that {tutra} emphasizes the control or possession of th= e location. Try {stuzi} perhaps?

"The voice is asking 'What have you done for the future ?= '"

.i lo voksa ku noi junri reisku lu do
fi lo balvi zmadu ku p= u gunka ma

As the next sentence starts with .i the= n li'u can be omitted, right ?

No, because you c= an have multiple sentences in a quotation.

Or I have another version.

"The voic= e is asking what I've done for the future"

.i lo voksa ku noi junri reisku lo nu
mi pu gunka ma lo balv= i zmadu ku

This is still not a bridi; everything= after {noi} becomes part of the description of {lo voksa}, like "the = voice which asks me" as opposed to "the voice asks me".

Also, I think that the second place of {reisku} needs to be {lo du'= u ...}, and that {zukte} is more what you want than {gunka}.

THIRD VERSE

If pa'o is incorrect then re&= #39;o should be okay. If klama itself denotes motion then mo'i is super= fluos, isn't it ?

I don't think so, but = I'm not sure.

Anyway I'd like to know how to say "a path with no direct= ion spots"

"lo ke no farna barna ke'e pluta ku" ?
Can I u= se "bo" instead of "ke ... ke'e" here ?
<= br>

{no} doesn't work like that. "a path wi= th no direction spots" is {lo pluta be se cau lo farna barna} or {lo f= arna barna claxu pluta} or {lo farba'a claxu pluta} or {lo pluta be se = cau lo farba'a}.
=A0

My suggestion for now is

.i da voksa .ije = sutra klama fa mi

fo lo ke no barna ke'e pluta ku

But I'= ;d prefer sumtcita instead of place tags that are difficult to memorize.
I'd prefer more natlang-like but valid ways that are alternativ= e to x1 - x5...

I've found that messing with {fa} etc only gets d= ifficult when the selbri is late in the bridi.
