Spencer asks: Ø
What is {loi}? Can't you use
{le}? {le sutra cu vecnu le
cukta}? You _can_ use le, but what that sentence means
is "the quick-one sells the book(s)", which is to say, some
particular book or books that I have in mind. "loi" means
"the mass of those that really are…" in other words, it used to
describe in more general terms that he sells books, not any particular set of them:
le gerku cu citka le rectu (the dog eats the meat), loi gerku cu citka loi
rectu (dogs eat meat). As for "le
nu mi pensi [vau] [kei] [ku] cu nibli le nu mi zasti [vau] [kei] [ku] [vau]"
Yes, that certainly is fine (although with all the elidbale terminators kept
in, a pain to read ;-) . .iseni'ibo (or, to break it apart, .i se ni'i
bo) basically means "this following sentence is entailed by the previous
one" (When you get to the chapter on modals, you will see how this works.
ni'i is a cmavo derived from nibli)
