Again, (2a) and (2b) are roughly equivalent: I see it otherwise. A sentence with {ko} is always a command, not a question about a command. So for me this is something like {ko klama i do klama ma}, ie. 'Go! Where will you go?'. > > (2a) ko klama ma > > (2b) mi minde do lo nu do klama ma > =A0 =A0 =A0 "I command you to go where?" > > Thus, {xu ko klama ma} would become: > (3) .i xu mi minde do da .i je mi minde do lo nu do klama ma > =A0 =A0 =A0"Do I command you to do something, and where do I command you = to go?" Again, {xu} is a question about {klama}, not about "command"/{minde}. I think this sentence is somewhat strained, but for me it would mean "Go! Will you go and where?" mu'o mi'e ianek > > mu'o mi'e la selpa'i > > -- > .i pau mi me ma .i pa mai ko mi jungau la'e di'u > .i ba bo mi va'o lo nu nelci lo nu me ma kau cu barkla > .i va'o lo nu na nelci cu denpa ti lo nu mi drata --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
