[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.
