[lojban-beginners] Re: How to use selma'o SE with tanru ?

[ianek <janek37@gmail.com>]

Yes, I misunderstood the question, I though you asked how to say "I
live in a pretty little house". But about {melbi cmalu se zdani}, I
keep my side that it's correct. The semantics of tanru is vague, it
means roughly "to have a house, somehow connected with being pretty
and being small", so it may mean both "to be pretty little resident"
or "to reside in a pretty little house", among other things.
