[jbovlaste] Re: What would happen if xu and ko were put together?



la .lindar. pu ciska zoi gy.

However, regarding xu and ko? It sounds like an awkward post-jbogugde polite-ism to sound like the English "Could you please ______?". I don't see that it's necessarily -incorrect- as everybody wants to seem to assert, but it's certainly a very strange thing to say. To take it to extremes to demonstrate how strange it sounds to me, I use this (poor) example: "Go get me a pop. Y/N?"

.gy.

I would interpret it to mean ‘I order you to <do something>; will you do it?’ Remembering that tense is not implied, the whole bridi could quite well be in the future. The overall effect could be something like the English ‘I want you to go to the shops, do you understand?’
