[lojban-beginners] Re: attitudinals question

[pyrosim <pyrosim@gmail.com>]

My naive thought would be that the .ui would bond to the whole
sentence and the xu would bond to the do, leaving \"How do you feel
about yourself? :)\" I think the sentence you are looking for is \"xu
.ui dai\". Attitudinals are usually attributed to the speaker, unless
otherwise specified (using dai). That sentence doesn\'t have a selbri,
but I believe it is a valid utterance nonetheless. I could be wrong
though.
