[lojban-beginners] Re: Please review #002

["Daniel Adamec" <dadamec123@gmail.com>]

vecnu is "x1 [seller] sells/vends x2 [goods/service/commodity] to buyer x3 for amount/cost/expense x4"

so "se vecnu" is the thing being sold. If I understand this correctly (admittedly I am not very experienced) te vecnu would be the buyer. terve'u (x1 buys x2 [goods/service/commodity] from x3 [seller] for amount/cost/expense x4) may be a more compact way of putting it.

"klama se vecnu" seems like it should mean "go-type-of-sold-thing". "mu'i" or another similar cmavo might be useful.

I might also suggest the addition of an article at the beginning (*le* mi mamta) ("le mamta *be* mi" might also work ). "mi mamta" sounds like *you* are the mother (mamta - x1 is a mother of x2).

I don't know about the use of "makau" but that's probably just a slip on my part.

I do consider myself a beginner so everything here is subject to be overridden by a more experienced lojbanist. "Taken with a grain of salt" so to speak
