Is "zu'i" the typical thing that fills its sumti place considered across all situations, or in the particular context given? For instance, does "mi citka zu'i" mean that I eat something which is typical to be eaten in general, or something which is typical for me to eat?

The Lojban Reference Grammar, §7.7, says that it's the typical value for that place of the <bridi>. Based on the example given involving a high rise during a fire, it seems to mean "typical across all situations," not per-context.
