Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: questions about 'cu'



In the interest of shortness and similarity, I suggest {prami ko}, which is short for {pisu'o cevni cu prami re'e ko}.

My thanks. I created a farewell, based on my spiritual path's "blessed be," which I render as iure'e le cevni cu kurji ko by which I mean "with spiritual love I direct you to act in such a way that your perception of god (the divine) cares about/for you." Have I accomplished my goal?

  Yes, don't let lindar and his dialect contingent mislead you.  It DOES serve a purpose, but it can be worked around, as well.  Its purpose is to mark which word/phrase in a bridi that is the main relationship.  Can it be worked around?  Yes, but as Pierre mentioned, it means properly closing off all open structures before then.  

   So, what would you use in its place?  That depnds entirely on what needs terminating.  If nothing needs closing, the you don't need it.

And here I was told that without cu one of my favorite statements made no sense at all. So what is it: does cu serve a purpose, or not? If not, then what would I use in it's place?

The short answer:
It's never necessary. NEVER.
It's a handy shortcut sometimes.
Learn to do without it at first or your grammar will suck.
