[lojban-beginners] Re: I remember

awesome, I should have thought of a lujvo or something like that.  I was just wondering if there was a way to do it with abstractions and such like Pierre suggested. I like both methods actually, maybe I'll switch things up and use the {li'i} method or the lujvo method depending on my mood.

I might say "mi morji fi le nu mi cusku lu coi ro do li'u", I
remembered something (implied: that it was important and that I should
do it) about the event of me saying "coi ro do".  That's ambiguous
though as to the relationship between the remembering and the saying.
Perhaps "mi cusku lu coi ro do li'u ki'u le nu morji", I said "coi ro
do" because of remembering, that's slightly clearer.

I also think it's a good opportunity for some specific lujvo.  There's
two good rafsi for "morji", "moj" and "mo'i".  We can base a lot of
different interesting kinds of remembering on "-mo'i"!  I'd like one
that means "to suddenly remember something you had forgotten"--
perhaps za'e "sukmo'i"?  Anyway, for remembering to do something, hmm,
"mojgau" is taken, so perhaps za'e "mojyzu'e" (morji zei zukte)?  Or,
oh, hey, looks like Pierre came up with "zukmo'i" for just this in
2002!  So then it would be, "mi zukmo'i le nu mi cusku lu coi ro do
li'u".
