[lojban-beginners] Study plan for a quiz- I'd like a second opinion on this one



Hi guys,

I am working on a quiz that uses a simple sentence and varies it in a
number of ways to allow my small local lojban self-study group to get
a feel for different lojban sentence styles. I wanted to get people
here to give the sentences a once over. i don't have them all ready-
so feel free to recommend variations. The idea is to vary everything
off our group's unofficial motto:

"Remember that you live, remember that you will die"

So here goes...

.i do jmive .i do morsi                                      you live,
and you die
.i do ca jmive .i do ba morsi                             you live
now, and you will die
.i ko morji .i do jmive .i do morsi                       remember!
you live, and you die
.i do jmive ku'i do ba morsi                               you live,
however you will die
.i do vriji'e ki'u do djuno nu do ba morsi              you live
bravely because you know that you will die
.i lo virnu cu se jmive do                                   bravery
is the standard by which you live
.i lo virnu cu seljmive do                                   bravery
is the standard by which you live (2)
.i do na jmive .i do zasti                                   you do
not live, you exist
.i do na vriji'e .i do to'e vriji'e                              you
don't live bravely, you do the opposite of living bravely!
.i ko vriji'e .ije do ba je'a vrimro                          live
bravely! and you will indeed die bravely.
.i ko'a ba morsi .i ku'i fo'a ba sisti zasti              that one
will die, however that one (2) will cease to exist
.i ko pilno le do jmive le banli                            use your
life for great things!
.i lo morsi cu na toljmive .i lo zasti cu toljmive     death is not
the opposite of living, existing is the opposite of living


So if you would be willing to check what I actually wrote against what
I intended to write, as well as suggesting more variations. Again the
idea is to include as many sentence variations as possible while
sticking close to the thematic source and using similar words
throughout to show the variations clearly.

I currently have 13 of these. I am hoping to compile a total of 50 to
use as a quizlet quiz. I would welcome any edit suggestions,
corrections, variations, and new ideas.

Thanks guys
