If you wanted to refer to them individually, as far as I am aware, you'= d have to either call them directly ({le finpe gusta} and {le pinynabycerni= gusta) (Note: There's no current valsi I know of for pancake. I'm = using "flat breakfast bread" for it.)), or assign them individual= ly.

I suppose you could say something like {le finpe me ko'e}. Although= that sounds ugly to me, I believe it would work for either your or my assi= gnment of ko'e, the difference being that your assignment of ko'e w= ould make {le finpe me ko'e} refer to a fish restaraunt out of the set = of all existing restaraunts, whereas my ko'e would make it refer to a f= ish restaraunt out of the set of two restaraunts, regardless of how many ex= ist.

Now that I think about it, I think the best assignment for ko'e wou= ld be {ko'e goi re ko'a gusta}, since you are wanting to talk about= HIS two restaraunts.

So, with all that in mind, my best guess would= be:

ko'a ponse ko'e goi re ko'a gusta
ko'a owns ko'e= , where ko'e is his two restaurants.
ko'a owns two restaurants.<= br>
.i lo finpe me ko'e vi zvati lo xamsi
The fish type-of ko'= ;e is near the ocean.

Sorry, that should be "The fish type-of things-w= hich-are-ko'e is near the ocean."
=A0

His fish restaurant is near the ocean.

OK. So imagine that one restaurant is a fish= restaurant. Another one is a pancake restaurant.

A fish= one.

A pancake one.

How do I refer do them=A0in th= e following text ?

Obviously English word &quo= t;one" should correspond to {broda} or {ko'a}. How do I achieve th= is ?

You want the term ko'e to= refer to the two restaurants collectively, you want {ko'e goi re gusta= }, or {ko'e goi re le gusta} if you want to explicit about specificity.=

What you have means the pretty much same thing as what I wrote, althoug= h your ko'e assignment is different and your bridi is obviously much mo= re complicated:
ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta
ko'= a owns two of something that is amongst (ko'e =3D one or more things th= at actually is a restaraunt).
Ko'a owns two things that are ko'e, where ko'e is "one or = more restaraunts"

ko'a ponse ko'e goi re gusta
ko= 9;a owns (ko'e =3D two restaraunts).
ko'a owns ko'e, where k= o'e is "two restaraunts"

No ! What you suggest is that {ko'e} is two restaurants. But I need {ko= 'e} to be each of the restaurants !

I wonder how to express the phrase "he = is the owner of two cafes" using {ko'a} ("he") and {ko&#= 39;e} (each of the cafes)

{ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta} ?

{broda} series won't work if in the following text each = of the cafes is described.
