So, how would you say "Cat wants to see fish." [sic] in Lojban? I tried to think of the sentence as a relation between the cat and its desire for the act of seeing fish. So, how about the following? lo mlatu cu djica lenu lo finpe se viska Or would you rather use du'u instead of nu? lo mlatu cu djica ledu'u lo finpe se viska Thanks in advance, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
