I like the Lojban better than the English, which means, I think, that you'r=

thinking in Lojban. It's really hard to render the Lojban into any natlang =

know; the closest I can come offhand is Spanish "te amo y Dios cu=EDdete" (=

attend a Hispanic church, so much of my thinking about God is in Spanish).

Adding to what Lindar said, the fa'orma'o is, as far as I know, a part of=

speech unique to the Loglanic languages, so you need lots of practice to ge=

it right. "cu" has an equivalent in Tok Pisin; attitudinals exist (though n=

the same list) in some language spoken in the NE India/Burma area. Terminat=

are what make it possible to say lots of grammatical constructs unambiguous=
