[bpfk] Re: The Case for UI.

Oh. I didn't know it was a loan phrase.
How is it used in English?

Also, I think I've had a bit of a realisation.

There's no reason that I can't say:
{.i .ai mi klama}
and mean:
"I intentionally go."
while you say:
{.i .ai mi klama}
and mean:
"I intend to go."

Cos it's really a matter of time tense, isn't it?
It's kind of a contextual thing.

There's no reason you can't say:
{.i .e'u do klama}
and mean:
"You should go."
while I say:
{.i .e'u ko klama}
and mean essentially the same thing.

Cos it's really two different phrasings of the same idea, perhaps with
a little bit more emphasis on the last part. I realised that {.i e'u
do broda} is pretty much just "Suggestion: You broda." vs. {.i .e'u ko
broda} being "Suggestion: Broda!".

I kinda realised this.

Does anybody else agree that there are different contextual
implications?
...or am I missing something?
