[lojban-beginners] Multiple converstions?
coi rodo
Is it possible to use multiple conversions within a bridi? I was
recently trying to translate "I am the worst vegetarian ever." into
Lojban (just idly translating things that look interesting as I read
them...) using {traji}. I kept stumbling with the word order,
though, either making up clunky sentences with FA ({mi fi leka xlali cu
traji fe lenu nalre'ucti}) or coming just short of my goal with
conversion ({leka xlali cu te traji lenu nalre'ucti ku mi}). Then
I tried {mi leka xlali cu se te se traji lenu nalre'ucti}, just for
kicks, and it seems to work just fine! Am I just deluding myself,
or is this kind of verbal gymnastics acceptable Lojban? Also, I'm
not sure whether I should be using {lenu nalre'ucti} or {leka
nalre'ucti} there, since 'traji' asks for a property.
