When we have both outer and inner quantifier, eg. {re lo mu bakni}, it tells that we're talking about five cows, ie. the universe of disourse contains five cows, but the number of cows we're stating something about is two. And also, I think that this quoted text is not quite clear. mu'o mi'e ianek On 9 Mar, 10:29, ianek wrote: > It can also be deduced from "BPFK Section: gadri". > > We have definitions: > lo [PA] broda =A0 =A0zo'e noi ke'a broda [gi'e zilkancu li PA lo broda] > PA [sumti] =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 PA da poi ke'a me [sumti] > > So, {pa lo re gusta} translates to {pa da poi ke'a me zo'e noi ke'a > gusta gi'e zilkancu li re lo gusta} > ie. > "one (quantified) thing which is one of something, which is > restaurant(s) and consists of two counting by units of restaurants" or > something like that, or if you'd like it put more simply: "Never > imagine yourself..." err sorry, "one of two restaurants". > > mu'o mi'e ianek > > On 9 Mar, 10:12, Lindar wrote: > > > > > > > > > > re gusta =3D re lo gusta =3D "two things which actually are restauran= ts" =3D > > > "two restaurants". > > > re lo pa gusta =3D "one of two things (blah blah)" =3D "one of two > > > restaurants". > > > lo re gusta =3D "two of one or more things (blah blah)" =3D "two of X > > > restaurants", where X is an unstated number. > > > You have this backward.
