Is it legitimate to mix in free-style English into lojban if you use {zei} like that?  {lol zei cizra} .u'i

I personally wouldn't object to having a NU-ed sumti as {klama}'s
proper x2, because I think that any place is essentially an
abstraction (and also that being aware of this would open up some
cognitive & philosophical possibilities). But some jbopre might still
prefer adding {tu'a}: {mi klama tu'a lo nunselctu}.

One style I would like to see us using more often in rather relaxed
contexts is "VALSI zei VALSI", where VALSI can be a brivla or a
ma'ovla or a cmevla. For example: u'e zei cizra, lol zei cizra, brbrbr
zei cizra.
