[lojban-beginners] fa fe fi se te...



Which family takes precedence if both are in a sentence?  FA or SE?
eg.
I talk to you about the book in lojban
mi tavla do le cukta

if I say:  mi se tavla fi do le cukta  what does this mean?

I'm saying se tavla so x1 and x2 are switched, but now what is in the second position was originally x1 BUT I'm overriding that with "fi".  So if I originally have: 
x1 selbri x2 x3   and then I do
x1 se selbri fi x2 x3    Can someone explain what this would be equivilent to if we took the "se" and "fi" out?

Or would something like this just be nonsensical?
